Soccer Game

February 22--Dylan had his first soccer game of the season. He plays defender and goalie. He says he likes them both.

Earlier in the week, I went to a parent meeting at the middle school for Blake. Yep, he starts middle school next year. It was really helpful. The principal gave the presentation, who we know pretty well. It was kind of fun to walk into the auditorium and see so many parents that we know from other places--from church, from sports teams, etc...because we have several elementary schools going to this middle school. Blake had to pick his classes for next year. They are required to take a fine arts class, so he picked choir. And they had to decide between what they call academic Math or Pre-AP Math. I emailed his teacher to ask her opinion and to have her talk to Blake about it because Blake thought he should do the academic math. She emailed me back and said, um, he would be so bored in academic math. So she did  talk to him and that gave him confidence to take the Pre-AP class. Then he found out his 2 best buddies are taking that class  too so he was even more excited. Blake is pretty excited about middle school. I have talked to him a lot about it on our runs.
