A few weeks ago the boy started kindergarten. Now to some extent this is old hat for the Talbots. Some of you might remember that he went to preschool last year. And rode a bus for crying out loud! But something about kindergarten is exciting. The thought that he might hang out with some of these kids for the rest of his life is amazing. I moved a lot as a kid so to some extent I missed out on that. Book fairs, picture day, packed lunch & field trips. Here we go!

And he also started Soccer! Another exciting first. He did great interacting with his coach, dribbling the ball and staying relatively focused. It’s an indoor soccer field so to say it was hot is an understatement. It was a furnace. We were hot just sitting on the bleachers. All the kids looked like their heads were going to pop. But we emerged from the fire victorious. Sweaty, dirty but victorious. This week should be cooler.
