I have really been cherishing those moments of snuggling with the boys, reading stories or just being silly. Where does the time go???
I know it has been awhile since my last update, but life is BUSY in the Hopkins Household! Since school started, I have been working part time, directing my bible study group and doing all the other "mom jobs" on a daily basis--cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, etc. Jim's new job is going well but he is staying very busy too. Oh, and keeping up with the kiddos activities, parties, etc! Whew. So life in general is my excuse for a little slow down in the blog. ;) So this post will be a little "catch up" on our family!
Christian is really enjoying cub scouts!
He loves all the activities at the den meetings and working on his achievements in his wolf book.
Jim and I have been taking turns taking him to cub scouts so we both can stay in touch with the activities of our den. Last week, I went with Christian and they discussed recycling and not littering. The den worked on picking up litter at the school (with gloves on). Luckily for us, the school grounds are clean as a whistle so the boys were fighting over a few gum wrappers and scap pieces of paper to put in their trash bags. ;)
Last week, we had our first parent teacher conference with Christian's 2nd grade teacher.
She could not say enough wonderful things about how she enjoys having him in her classroom.
She said he is very intelligent and a delightful boy. He received straight As! He is also reading at the highest level that his teacher is allowed to test him. We are so proud of him!
I can't leave out Andrew. ;) Our sweet little man is doing great. He talks so well and loves to play! He really enjoys going to Mother's Day Out and doing all the fun projects they get to do there! He naps well there and loves to get up and go in the mornings! He is starting to work on potty training both at MDO and at home. He is regularly using the potty once a day at home and at school, so that's progress. We may be a diaper free household next year! Now THAT will be an exciting blog post! ;)
Andrew is a little character too. He knows what he wants and when he wants it. I wonder where he gets that?! :) haha
Andrew likes to voice his opinion on his snack, clothes, toys, etc. At that age, Christian was barely talking and certainly was not particular about those things. Whatever you gave him was ok. Christian is still a pretty laid back kiddo. Just like his dad! We love to see the differences in the boys and get such a kick out of them!
But these boys sure love to be together! BEST BUDS FOREVER!
