6 Years + 6 months! (September 2019)

Ryder’s first day of first grade was right after Labor Day.  He generally likes school, so he wasn’t unhappy to go back, but he was definitely nervous.  The first day of school I could barely get a smile for his picture and he was very nervous standing in his class line, waiting to go in.  He had a great first day though, and I got a smiling school photo the second day.  He got right back into his routine of getting ready for school, his weekly school lunches and the things he does at school- like his recess and arrival games with his friends!

When the colder weather arrived in the mornings towards the end of the month, I got Ryder’s fleece foot pajamas out of hiding and he was thrilled.  Ryder would have worn fleece foot pajamas all summer long- I had to hide them because in the past he would wear them to bed even on super hot days!  He has not, however, come around to the idea of wearing pants to school.  I have tried to convince him a couple of times, but no dice.  He has steadfastly refused, claiming that the tall socks that he pulls up to his knees keep him plenty warm!

Ryder has a been a little bit less interested in World of Tanks this month and more interested in his tablet video games.  He has been playing an archery game called Bowmasters for a while, but this month he found a new game called Lords Mobile.  From what I have seen, it appears to be a bit of a world-building game.  In order to download it, we had to delete some things off of our tablet, so he helped me figure that out and he’s been playing it ever since!


The last weekend of September, we got out the Halloween decorations.  This year Ryder was a little bit less interested than he has been in the past.  He let us take everything out while he did something else, and then came over to check stuff out.  He still loves to check the lights to see if they still work and he helped put things out and chose what to hang on the mantel.
