1/2 Day Today

It hasn't even started snowing here but they've already announced that they're sending Owen and his classmates home at noon. All of our sports are cancelled too, so Whit is racking her brain for afternoon activities.

Foosball Injury

Apparently clumsiness runs in the family. Owen came home from school with a mouse under his eye yesterday. He was playing foosball during Lunchbunch and went for a "power shot". His hand slipped off the controller and he smacked himself in the eye.

Man Down!

We were walking home from dinner on Wednesday and of course Owen wanted to have a race. Apparently he tripped and wanted me to stop running so I wouldn't get to far ahead. Whit shouted out, "Man down!" and he latched right onto that. He spent the rest of the race diving to the ground and shouting "Man down, man down!'

First Report Card

We were very excited to see Owen's first-ever report card last week. The summary is that he's doing great. It does identify a few areas for improvement including patience and fine motor skills. We talked it through with Owen and he was glad to hear all the positive reinforcement but also very interested in knowing what he needs to improve.

Hockey Day

He's not wearing his skates in this photo, but we did some hockey playing and skating on the pond yesterday. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and Owen had a blast. Some of his campus friends came along too, which made it extra fun.

Basketball

On Saturday we went to the Boys Varsity game and saw a great match-up. Owen got a little fidgety, but sat through most of the game. He was particularly excited to play on the court at halftime and after the game. I did let him know that this is technically a "carry" and he would lose possession.

Group Hug

Owen and I were the lucky recipients of the group hug at school
meeting this morning. Owen was a little nervous about it at first, but
he brought TT along and they decided it was safe.

Follow the leader

Whit spent the morning in Owen's class yesterday and had a chance to see him in action. While she had a small group sitting with her playing games (including Owen), three separate times other kids came over to ask him questions:

Owen, we're done building the castle. What should we do now? (Build the towers.)

Owen, Sam won't share the blocks. What should I do? (You need to tell the teacher, she'll help.)

Owen, when you're done can you help with the block project? (Yes, when I'm done playing with my Mum.)

It was very cute. Whit said he wasn't being bossy, he was functioning like the little leader of the group.
