Declan's First Football Game

It was a great day in the Woolsey house today. Page played his second football game and won 40 to 12 (first game pictures are already posted), and Declan played his first game! Declan even scored a touchdown!! He had so much fun. It was a good time watching because the teams include kindergarten and first grade students. Some of the kids can really move. Declan maybe smaller, but he can "juke 'em" as he tells us.

Page had a good week at school learning multiplication and all about longitude, latitude. the equator, prime meridan and more. Of course, he constantly complains about having to read. I hope there is a magic moment when he reads a book that transforms his thinking about chapter books. Right now he looks at them and simply thinks, "this is too long and will keep me from playing outside!"

Jett is a pistol! Without a doubt, he is on the fringes of being two-years-old (seven days and counting). In the same breath, he is the happiest, smiling-est, sweetest little boy ever. He loves talking and enjoys the fact he can actually name things now. He points at most everything and calls its name.

He is also in love with his sitter, "Miss Tisty", as he refers to her (name is actually, Christy). He adores her and we are lucky. I think it's pretty mutual. We are doing better on the days we go to school now that we come home at 12 Noon instead of 2:30 p.m., but mom can hardly wait to lengthen the time a bit.
