This is Jaycee's first year of going to school and becoming a big Kindergarten.  It's been a long time coming and she's been so excited!!!  Craig unfortunately was out of town and missed her first day and first soccer game.  It was a bummer.  He decided the day before his work trip he would take her out for a special breakfast with just him or us as well.  It was fun to spend the morning before work focused on Jaycee and big things happening in her life.  Her first day of school she requested smiley face pancakes and she was so excited to wear her new Ariel dress I had bought this summer.  She also was so excited to ride the bus home.  Here they ride the Kindergarteners home (for AM) and pick up (for PM)  She was funny and didn't have a ton to say about her first day but she was excited to see girls from her soccer team and her best friends from church. 

BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT

 BREAKFAST WITH FAMILY   She really wanted the stuffed french toast and it was hilarious to see her face when it came out.  She was so surprised at how big it was. 

Taking Jaycee is quite fun.  We have walked every day  (.7 miles) because I have heard horror stories of the line to pick up and drop off.  We've gone in the rain & shine and not one complaint from Jaycee or Hadi.  She also loves that she gets to ride her scooter to school.  I'm also finding that mornings are quite the social hour.  There's so many people, mostly church & soccer, that I don't even get back for at least an hour.  I love it though.  It's been a really fun schedule.

 Jaycee has really grasped a love for soccer.  She loves her practices & especially her new friends.  She especially loves soccer games.  I think because all the parents are cheering & she gets a snack after them.  The first game of the season she was the MVP and scored so many goals.  It was so fun to watch and quite shocking as the girls like to pretty much hug all practice.  It was fun to see them hussle and put into effect the things they've learned at practice.  She's had 5 games so far and half way through the season.  She has quickly gained the love of defense.  She doesn't run after the ball so much anymore to shoot but is quick to defend.  It's really fun to see the girls learn and see what positions they are enjoying.
