Halloween Box
Austin was a little off bc he felt bad opening the box when Ben and Nick were here.. He didn't want them to feel left out.

AJ Biking Around
So AJ's quite determined to learn to ride his bike. Since Dave's at work, he's practicing by himself. He turned to me and said, "I'm never gonna give up, Mom"... and I have to admit, that's one of the best things I ever heard.

Me: Who told you that?
Nate: I just know it.
Ummmm.... isn't the concept of infinity kind of.... out there.... for a 4 year old?

Lunch with AJ
I had lunch with Oz, too... but I had to leave early to get Nate and forgot to take a picture! :(

Status on Nate-o
Nate's making great progress with his reading. He's also still fully INTERESTED in letters and numbers, so it helps so much that he is motivated. He's loving school, but I really think he needs to already be in Kinder. Can't change that, so we'll just roll with it.
Nate started soccer a couple of weeks ago. Dave said he loved it the first week. When I asked Nathan how he liked it after the 2nd time, he said, "I loved it a little".
LegoLand Florida is opening up in a few days. We're going to take the boys one day during Thanksgiving break. Hopefully the weather's nice and it's not too busy. They're all VERY excited to go.

Status on AJ
AJ's doing awesomely in school this year. He actually told me he LIKES to go to school now. Not only that, when he's doing his homework, he really tries to make everything right! I can't believe it. This is the same kid I had to drag out of bed kicking and screaming every morning for 2 years. This is the same kid I had to fight every day to do his homework and he'd just resist and resist.. Let's all hope and pray this is going to be his attitude with school and work from now on.
I don't need to work on AJ's eating. AJ eats the best of everyone in this house!! What I need to work with AJ on is his frigging room. He's a total slob. Oh well.

Status on Austin
Austin has improved considerably in moodiness, anxiety and academics. He still refuses to sleep or shower in his own room, but his overall attitude is more at ease. Last week he did not have a vocabulary test, but he did score a 91% on his math test. I didn't even KNOW there was going to be a math test- so there was no special studying or anything at home! YAY!
On another note, I've decided that he needs to eat better. He gets breakfast at school and tells me he always chooses Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That's mediocre, at best. He packs his lunch and makes the usual kid lunch- sandwich, chips, Capri Sun or something. Does he EAT it? I don't know. Dinner is almost always a challenge to get him to eat... and if he does eat, it's not very much.
So now I wake up earlier and try to make a REAL breakfast. Eggs and bacon, pancakes and sausage, waffles, oatmeal... He's also not allowed to have milk until after he finishes his food. I sit in front of him and make sure he's eating at breakfast and dinner. And try to either make something he likes somewhat, or at least have something he likes available (like I made a batch of meatballs and froze them in single portions).
I'm not sure all this food stuff will make any difference in his anxiety, but I know he needs to learn to feed himself or he'll get sick. He's a growing boy, you know.
