Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-09-28

2009-09-28 23:11 (Kristen) Liam went to soccer class with John around lunchtime, even though he is on the waiting list for the class and not officially registered. They hung around as Liam wasn't allowed to participate today, but Liam had a good time watching the other kids, pointing out the differently coloured lines on the floor, and playing with his DS. While they were on the way back, I got a phone call from Parks and Rec saying that a space had opened up, and we were officially in the class. That will make Liam very happy. Tomorrow, I have to go and buy a hockey helmet for Liam, as I fear Jamie's will be too heavy for him (it's a little heavy for Jamie), so that he can go to his first skating class on Wednesday afternoon. I told Liam, and he brightly told me that he would skate, and use a chair...he clearly remembers the one time I took him and Jamie skating last winter, when there were chairs available for the more wobbly. Good for him.

Jamie had a good day, reciting his spelling words and spelling them for me at lunch as he'd incidentally memorized them. He also brought home a little read-a-book on tarantulas, which prompted questions about whether or not a tarantula can paralyze a small boy. He also read "paralyze" by himself, which was a point of real pride to him. He played lots of video games, and did his homework, so was happy enough and tired when he went to bed tonight. Neither child stayed awake for very long, although 10 really isn't a good bedtime for either of them.
