The week in review

After many months of Caleb arguing with me about taking his nap and insisting that he wasn't tired, I told him that when he turned 4  I wouldn't make him take any more.  So almost every day around 4pm this week we have found him sleeping somewhere, mostly on the couch but the other day we found him on the floor in his room.
This picture was from an early morning photo op with the boys and Matt.  They get up early with Matt and entertain him while I sleep for a bit.
Jack had his first game this week! His team -the Thunder Bolts- won, 8 to 3. Every quarter everyone switches positions.  Here is Jack when it was his turn to be goalie.  
And here he is on defense.

And week number 1 of school is complete! It was a fun, busy week.  Only 31 more weeks to go. We've been starting off every day with devotions and prayer together then we split up.  Jack goes and does his busy work and Caleb and I spend an hour together reading and doing worksheets and such.  Caleb is really enjoying it.  He can't wait till devotions are over to tell Jack to go in the other room so we can be alone.  Of course he doesn't want to leave Jack and I alone.  On Wednesday I had him go in his room for a bit so Jack and I could work on some things so he stormed down the hall and slammed the door.   For about the first 1/2 hour Caleb talked to me from behind his closed door.  At one point he told me he was going to become the incredible hulk and punch the door down.  Other than that it went well.  Jack has a lot more work to do this year but I think it will be a good challenge for him, he can definitely handle it.

That picture of Caleb sleeping is incredible. In a defiant phase, huh? I'm sure it is entertaining when your child threatens you with his superstrength and powers. :)
