Week 113

Happy Father's Day!  Another busy weekend for us.  A big thank you to Phil for all he does for our family.  We love you!

Phil and Ryan with this year's soccer team.  As much as Phil complained about getting roped into coaching, he is doing it again next year!

Tomorrow is Ryan's last day of Kindergarten.  Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will attend his last day and end the year with perfect attendance!  I don't think they give awards or recognize students for that accomplishment anymore, and that is unfortunate.  It is a big accomplishment and especially for Ryan who typically doesn't receive any awards during the year, we are making a big deal about it at home.

Ryan's kindergarten class did a trial run in the cafeteria.  We could choose to send him with money to buy lunch or send him in with a bagged lunch.  We sent him in with lunch, and when he came home that afternoon we asked him all about it, curious as to whether most kids purchased lunch or brought their own.  I didn't want him to be the only one who has to bring his lunch everyday to keep him on his diet.  Here's how part of our conversation went when we asked him who he sat with in the cafeteria:

Me: Ryan, who did you sit with in the cafeteria?
Ryan: My girlfriend, Ava.
Phil: Did you sit with anyone else at the table?
Ryan: No, it was just the two of us.

We got such a good chuckle out of the entire conversation.  For those of you who may have missed it, here is the picture of the artwork we found in his backpack about a couple of weeks ago, given to him and made by above mentioned Ava.

By the way, Ryan has been doing a great job getting up in the morning and making his bed.  He does it everyday without us asking!
