Ridge's firsts



This week has been a big one for Ridge. First day of school, first time riding the bus, first soccer game. Whew! I'm glad it is over. I think Ridge was braver than I was when he got on the bus. Luckily Eric didn't leave for work until after getting him on the bus because I started crying as the bus neared our stop. Of course I put on my best smile-with-tears face for Ridge as I waved goodbye. Cannon and Laine both cried watching the bus go away -- Laine because she was worried that the bus was taking Ridge away and Cannon because he wanted to go on the bus too. First day of all-day kindergarten included three recesses, how can you not want to go back after that?

And the first soccer game was very short. Just 30 minutes long. They have teams of 6 and play 3 0n 3 matches. I wasn't sure about this format but it works for kids this age since all 6 kids followed the ball througout the game. Ridge scored 2 goals but the other team won.
