Soccer Star

I signed Kaitlin up for soccer in our little town and I thought it would be a great way for Kaitlin to meet some kids her age! She is missing her friends so much and is trying so hard to find new ones! Kaitlin used to be so shy and would cry every time we went somewhere new! It paid off because now she is so friendly and is very eager to make new friends. She tries to befriend the older kids on our street and even tried to befriend the plumbers at our house! Sweet girl.

So here she is before her first day of soccer

This is where the smiles end! She cried about 30 minutes out of the hour lesson! Kory kept taking her off the field and ask her what was wrong? Her response " I am crying!!

Here are the action shots of Kaitlin when she was actually on the field.

We are hoping that each week gets better and better!

Big Girl Bed

Kaitlin has been sleeping in her big girl bed for a week now and I am amazed that she has done so great with the transition. She is so proud of herself and thinks she is so big!

The fake yawn ! The upside to the big girl bed was she could sleep with all her stuffed animals and they all had plenty of room.

She does great at night but naptime has been hit or miss! It usually takes her an hour to fall asleep. We are still  working on a good nap routine. Kaitlin does get out of her bed at nap and cleans her room everyday! I may put her in a different room and she can help me tidy up!

Kaitlin figured out the video monitor pretty quickly and she talks to me during nap time.

Sweet success of a sleeping child!
