Aiden is a second grader. I am so proud of how he has done in the three weeks we have been back in school. He has had good behavior and is making friends. He is playing tackle football this year....this has been interesting. He is such an athletic kid. I am SO SO SO SO SO biased, but I really see a lot of talent in him. I hope that he finds the motivation to stick with sports (all of them) and use sports as an outlet over electronics and friends. I see so much happiness in him when he does well. The smile he has coming off the field is like no other smile he gives. It is pure joy for me to see him do well. I am and will always be THAT mom on the sidelines. I am proud of him and I want him to know it. I hope he does well in school this year too....although he did tell me he is good at math so there really is no need for him to need to learn how to read better. OOOOk, kid. Aiden needs a lot of help with reading, he really dislikes reading to me, but doesn't mind being read to. I hope that this changes for the sake of his sanity going through school. I definitely don't make him read to me enough at home, but there are just some battles I can't fight.
Bailey is officially a freshman in college. IN COLLEGE. Just in case you didn't catch on to the "in college" part Bailey is in college. Tiny little Bailey is in the real world fending for herself. She is living in a dorm with two other strangers and is loving life. Granite, this is only day 3 of her college life, but she hasn't complained once since being dropped off. My mom was literally shoving me out of the car as I was crying and Bailey was not fazed. I can only dream that Aiden and Sloane have their heads on as straight as Bailey does. She is so responsible for being only 18 and so much more aware of other people and other peoples feelings. She is truly a diamond in the rough! I am super proud of her and her outgoing personality. I can't wait to see what great things she does!
Kailyn is a freshman in high school. She is on the varsity volleyball team and starting. She is kind of a big deal. Kailyn is really good at volleyball so watching her play is something I truly enjoy. She is in her element out there and I love seeing that. Kailyn doesn't have a lot of passion about things (other than her phone and shopping) so when she is on the court you get to see a different side to her. Kailyn is also super smart, without trying much she can bust out good grades...reminds me of Coleman. I on the other hand would study for days and barely pass, if pass at all. I hope she works hard these next four years so that there are lots of opportunities for her!
Sloane is in kindergarten. It simply hurts to write that. I was not and still am not ready for this girl to be old enough to be in school. I miss her when she is gone, every second of every day. She is like my partner in crime at all things so having her at school is painful (yes, even though I have to work). I want great things for her but I worry that her sass is going to hold her back. Sloane gives me a lot of happiness because she loves me A LOT. To her I am her world and that does nothing but light me up. I love how much she loves. I want school to be fun for her and I want her to have a lot of friends. I want her to be kind and to think of others. I worry about all these things with her. I am very excited to see what the future holds for her. She started gymnastics again and is rocking it. She has the body of a gymnast and the upper strength of a ballerina....the girl needs to lift some weights!
Kyle is in his second year as the principal at Decatur Middle School. He LOVES it. He is so damn good at what he does. It is pretty amazing to sit down and have a conversation about education with him, he truly is gifted at what he does. He has started his doctoral program at Indiana State University. I am excited to see him complete this. We will definitely throw a party when it is over...he won't want a party, but I will! I am so proud to call this man my husband. He is an amazing dad who has raised two amazing girls. He works really hard and is really good at it. He loves me with all of his heart. He takes great care of Aiden and Sloane and I see both kids light up when he is around. I am lucky to be his wife. I am lucky to have him to look up to.
