So Big, So Fast

So today Graham had his first ever school pictures. Crazy to think about! He was just this little tiny baby in my arms that surprised us 4 weeks early. Now he is about to be 5 and is so smart. I get compliments from his teacher and other parents about how he is such a good kid and I know I am so blessed. He has the kindest heart and loves to help others. I really need to find some volunteer work we can do together because I think he would really enjoy it. Of course he is your typical preschooler who tantrums or cries when he doesn't always get his way. But I feel like those are few and far between. I also think his actions and maturity are rubbing off on Anthony, his Irish twin. They both have become such little men.

Anthony and Graham both started soccer last night. They are on an indoor league since winter will be here in a week or so. I couldn't stay for practice because I had to work, but Rocky told me they did great. They had to put Anthony on the U6 team with Graham because he didn't want to be without him. Rocky said Anthony was way ahead of where Graham was when he started this past spring. Graham also has improved a lot since the spring according to Rocky. I hope he enjoys it because it looks like soccer and T-ball are the only sports he can do for the next 2 years. 

Tomorrow both of the boys have parent/teacher conferences and I can't wait to hear about how they are doing. I feel like they are both getting smarter by the day. Anthony has grown leaps and bounds with his learning. We are working on his speech and just got evaluated through the school district. We are waiting to hear back on what he qualifies for. They were impressed with his communication and understanding skills, pronunciation is our problem. It doesn't help that Graham translates for him a lot so he hasn't been forced to improve much in the last year. Hopefully it will come soon, so people can really see and hear how smart he is.
