A Big Day for Javin

Such excitement at our house today!! Today was Javin's first day of 1st grade. He was so excited he couldn't get to sleeplast night, so he woke up a bit sleepy this morning. But he was off to the bus without a hitch. Kailyn pouted the whole way back to the house. She was so sad her brother went to school. She can't wait until she is big enough to go. Only 2 more years, now that is a scary thought for mom! She got lots of one-on-one time with me today so she was happy. Javin came home with a good report. He enjoyed his day and even earned a special reward sticker for raising his hand in class.


After all of that, he had to get ready for his Tae Kwon Do testing. This was his first time testing to get his next level belt (yellow). We weren't sure what to expect. So everyone did the lower level kicks together. Then white belts (beginners) were asked a few questions. Then he could sit out and watch the other levels complete their testing. He did well I thought, but we will find out next week if he passed it or not.

We headed to Java Jo's for coffee to celebrate and the lady behind the ice cream counter gave him a free scoop of ice cream. So I think he had a pretty good day. We will leave out the melt down at bedtime and chalk that one up to the extra stimulating day.
