Getting Ready For Big School and Skater Boy

Sophie has been going to a Getting Ready For School program all this week.  She has had fun meeting lots of new little friends and learning about what going to big school is like.  Our therapy centre did a great job with the kids, who all have special needs of some kind.  Sophie was the only child with a wheelchair there but we took her pony walker and the therapists made sure she was getting turns on the slide during outside playtime.

 I wish I could take each of these therapy assistants with her to big school.

Sophie was exhausted each day and she was only there for two and a half hours!  What is a full day going to be like.


This is what Sophie was doing even at 9:30 each morning.  She was not wanting to wake up and face the sun!


Lucas has been having his own kind of fun this week at Skateboard camp.  He was really not wanting to go at first because he didn't know how to skateboard.  But we were mean parents and signed him up without telling him. 

Of course he has loved it.


He is already doing Ollie's*.  They have gone for lots of adventures, to the skate park, to the aquatic centre and more.  It has been really fun for him.  Today they painted there own deck.

Lucas is also still dominating on the soccer field.  Tonight he scored four goals.  Yup, four.  :)

  2. Awesome! I love how you're using the skateboarding lingo ;) I can't wait to hear how Sophie does at school! I'm getting nervous about my girls both going full day for the first time also. It's going to wipe them out!
