Cal at 5 1/2

Just a couple of things I want to make sure I document before I forget Cal at this sweet, perfect, innocent age. . . .
 Every night he prays: "Please bless me to have good dreams and not bad dreams and really good dreams and not really bad dreams, Bless me to have really good dreams and bless me to have really good dreams and not really bad dreams ....." (says this probably 6 or 7 times in every prayer).

He also says, "Bless me not to fight or scream or kick or pinch to have temperaments."

Cal is such a sweet boy with a kind and sensitive heart.

I love how every time Cal is going to tell me something he always starts with, "Can I tell you something . . . " And if he has a lot of things to tell me, he'll continue to ask - "Can I tell you one more thing?"

And when telling me about something that happened: "And can I tell you what?"

Cal is thriving in kindergarten. I love that I get to work in his class every Monday and see how well he gets along with everybody, how obedient he is, and what neat handwriting he has compared to all the other kids in his class. He teacher pulled me aside the other day at drop off to tell me how impressed she is with Calvin's homework. He really is a top notch student and I look forward to seeing these good study habits continue with Cal over the years.
 And how lucky that he gets to have Bailey in his kindergarten class. I hope these 2 always share a sweet friendship. They really are such good little buddies.

Cal's first soccer team!

Calvin had such a awesome first soccer experience! He got to be on the same team with 2 of his favorite buddies - Drew and Jackson. The other boys were great and the boys all got along perfectly! 
I volunteered to be the team mom so I got to know everyone really well. It was sad when the season came to an end. 
We had practice every Thursday evening and games on Saturday morning. 
Last game of the season we did cupcakes and trophies and a perfect little celebration! And a big shout out to Spencer and Madi for making the team banner for me! They did such a fabulous job! 
Cal is truly an All Star and already looking forward to soccer next year!
