Congratulations Aunt Melissa & Uncle Chris!!

Tonight Aunt Melissa had baby Andrew "Lawson" Hayes at 7:50pm. I guessed the right time, Mommy guessed the right length, but Daddy guessed the right weight! Lawson is a teenie tiny thing and weighs 6lbs 3oz and is 20.5" long. Here are a few pics of our new "cousin"! Mommy is so lucky because she gets to fly down to NC on Thursday for the weekend to meet baby Lawson. I hope we get to meet him sometime soon too--maybe when he can be around us "biohazards" as Mommy and Daddy call us. :)

My 1st Soccer Game

Today was my first soccer game at West Rocks Middle School. I am on Team 2 and I've only had one practice. I was a little nervous, but VERY excited too! I did great though...I scored 6 goals today!! Mommy was so proud of me! Daddy couldn't be there because he has a big work project he's doing at his office, so Mommy videotaped me playing for him. He can't wait to watch it!

2nd day of 1st grade....

and I have to report that I fell asleep in school. I wasn't bored or anything, I just was tired because Emerson woke me up at 6am this morning. I laid my head on my desk and my teacher told me to pick my head up...she didn't know I was asleep though. Mommy says if it happens again, both Emerson and I will be grounded from all video games for a week! I told her that I'm going to bed at 6:30pm tonight! (All this even though Mommy had us in bed at 6:45pm last night to read to ourselves and then turned our lights out at 7pm!!)

1st Day of 1st Grade

Today was my 1st day of 1st grade at Marvin Elementary School. My teacher is Mrs. Kovlakas. I really wanted to ride the bus on the 1st day of school this year so on Monday Mommy took me over to my school to find my classroom, B-3. I knew right where it was! So today we went outside to take a few pictures around 8am before I caught the bus. We waited and waited and waited and no bus came. Finally a woman drove past us and saw that we were waiting and asked Mommy if we were waiting for bus 422, which we were. She told Mommy that the bus was broken down just down the street and that they were sending another one. We waited a few minutes more and then Mommy decided to run in the house and get her purse and keys to drive me to school. I waited on the front steps and saw the bus come around the corner so I yelled "MOMMY!!!!". She came running out the door and walked me down the steps so I could get on the bus--at about 8:40am (the regular time is about 8:20am)! WHEW! I had a really fun day and got a new homework folder too. When I got home, Mommy was waiting for me on the front porch. Mom and Emerson even made brownies as a special treat for us for going back to school. Yum!

Back To School!

Today was Emerson's 1st day in Miss Rosie's 4's class at First Step Christian Day School. He was so happy to get back to school and see all of his friends! I don't start school until tomorrow, so Mommy took me to Orem's Diner in Wilton as a special "Big 1st Grader" treat. She told me how proud of me she is! I'll be back on the bus tomorrow and I can't wait!
