Reading

For reading week Hayes's school had different dress up days. Today was formal wear so Hayes wore his church clothes. As he put on his backpack I couldn't help but notice he looks so much like Bracken, especially since Bracken has been dressing up for his externship this semester and usually has his backpack on as he leaves.

Also for reading week the teachers are calling the kids at specific time we signed up for to see if they can catch them reading. He signed up for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:30-7pm. I totally forgot last night and we were visiting teaching when they called so I didn't answer the call. So tonight I made sure Hayes was reading from 6:30-7 but they didn't call. He was soo disappointed so I confessed my mom fail; that we had missed the call the day before. I'm hoping they'll call tomorrow even though they called Tuesday otherwise I might be a little sneaky and have a friend call him but I think he'd catch on to that. Hayes is catching on to reading and it's so fun to see him gain confidence and start reading a little quicker.

I went on another bike ride this morning, I really enjoyed it. Sometime down the road I'll have to get my own road bike instead of stealing Brackens.
I'm not worried about the bike portion of the triathlon now. Need to start running but I really don't know if I'll make it to running three straight miles but I hope to be at least able to run one. My body does not like running!

My favorite lines today were Kamri telling Lyla in a high little "mom voice" "it's ok Lyla, the koala isn't real, it's ok, don't worry" Lyla was afraid of the noises Kamri's stuffed koala was making. (and then Kamri would proceed to stuff the koala in Lyla's face) Lyla was funny about it though, she'd reach out like she wanted to pet it and Kamri would push a button to make it make a noise, then Lyla would kick it away with a startled look on her face.
