Where has the time went? No really? How is this possible? I still remember that cranky sweet baby that would never sleep and now we have a 1st grader.
What a good kid she is though. We are so lucky. She is very athletic, you could even call her a tomboy (that is actually what she prefers). But at home she likes to put on make up and play dress up. So she is a little bit of everything. She goofy and uncoordinated and can be a little shy sometimes too. But the next minute she can be loud and in your face. She continue with gymnastics and is now in the "big gym" as she calls it for class. She started level 1 progressive classes this summer and it is amazing to watch her improve and grow every week. This will be her 3rd year of soccer and up until now I don't think she ever took it to serious. She was the kid to busy talking to her friends or waving to us on the sidelines during the game. (we would call it social hour) She never really made an attempt to go to the ball but would follow the girls that were kicking the ball down the field (hey, she had to make it look like she was doing something, right?) No, but she was only in kindergarten and had fun so that is all that mattered. After really watching the Women's World Cup this summer she is really excited to play this fall and says she is going to take it serious so we shall see :)
Audrey is also starting another new adventure this fall and that is volleyball. We've gotta put those legs to use somehow! Over the summer she went to a volleyball camp at the high school and really enjoyed it. So she will start that next week as well. Needless to say, she will keep her mama very busy. But Audrey thrives on a schedule and busyness. While it was great to be a little lenient on schedules this summer it is nice to get back in the swing of things!
I hate to brag but she is also very smart and kind. She was lucky enough to get her same teacher from kindergarten for 1st grade and she is very good at pushing Audrey above grade level. It definitely is a collaborative effort with educating our children but it really does help when she has a teacher that is so good. I am excited to see how far she can go this school year. So that is about it. Audrey Grace our 1st grader. Oh, I forgot to mention what a fantastic big sister she is. I was very worried about the age gap when we had Eleanor because Audrey had always been the only child. I was super afraid she was going to have "only child syndrome" (is that a real thing because I feel like it should be). No, but I was worried how the transition would go. I have to say that we could not be happier. She is so good with Eleanor and constantly wants to be around her, have El lay by her, eat by her, smile at her, anything. She is very helpful and it is so nice that Audrey is so independent that I can concentrate on Eleanor without Audrey starving or dying of thirst. She's a good kid! And we are very excited to see what 1st grade brings!
