Rewind

Ok, I know I am a bit lacking on the blog. It doesn't mean I haven't thought about it getting on here and posting. I keep wanting to get on here and post what's happening in our life, but instead we have been riding bikes, jumping on the trampoline, planting flowers, going to swim lessons, yard work...you know what I mean.

Last month Hunter finished another swim class and he is now swimming on his own. It was so fun to see the progression from a baby splashing around to swimming on his own. We found a swim instructor that is really good with kids and little boys in general. She is good about keeping Hunter on task and calling him on what he needs to be doing....she doesn't let him get away with not trying his hardest, she really pushes him. Which I love.

Hunter's preschool ended the last week of May. I think I may have been more bummed than he was. I really liked his teacher. She was corky and you could tell she really enjoyed being with the kids. His kindergarten teacher has some big shoes to fill...=) We decided for Kindergarten we would do one more year at the private Catholic school before he goes to public school. The Kindergarten at the Catholic school is one of the only full day Kindergarten in our area. Instead of going half day to kindergarten and half day at daycare, we thought it would be more beneficial to do all day kindergarten with no daycare.

Hunter informed me the last week of preschool that he didn't want to go to kindergarten. I was surprised by the statement because he really likes school. I asked him why and he said "mom, it's going to be more hard and we won't get to play as much." I asked him where he heard it from and he didn't know. I talked with with him and let him know while he will be learning, he will still have fun with his friends and get to do new fun things. Cracked me up though, that he was thinking Kindergarten was going to be hard and it's just the beginning.
