Tonight was Cannon’s birthday at the redbirds game. They had an open box and invited a few of Cannon’s closest friends to come to the game. We had the whole stadium to ourselves! So cute and fun.

More police fun!

Today, we went on a police route with dad on his bike and Campbell on the scooter. They found lots of crime scenes to investigate and take pictures of. We tried to do some investigating at Julie’s house

Unsurprisingly, all Campbell wanted to do this morning was to recreate the concert from last night. He got his equiment, sang the songs. (The Final Countdown was a favorite). He even wanted to put his same clothes back on from the party last night.

Tonight was the welcome party at the law school for the 1Ls and 2Ls (since they didn’t get a party last year). We normally have an indoor, formal event, but this year we had an outdoor BBQ with a band behind the law school overlooking the river. Campbell and dad came up at the end of the night, and Campbell had so much fun playing with the band! David Pool is an alum and such a nice guy. Campbell got a Risky Whiskey Boys t-shirt and sticker. It was super fun and super cute. 🙂

Dad and Campbell went to get a popsicle at Crosstown Concourse today! And it turned into a fun splash activity out front.

Later, Campbell performed a very special play for mom and dad, entitled “The Trouble with Parents.” 🙂 He is so fun and creative.

Today was Campbell’s first day of 1st Grade at Grace-St. Luke’s! His teacher is Mrs. Benitone, and she seems great. It looks to be a bit of a more normal school year this year. There are still COVID precautions in place, thankfully, but we actually got to walk him into the classroom. The last time we walked in Campbell’s classroom was in the begining of March of 2020 pre-COVID. It was so nice to be able to walk Campbell in.

He’s going to have a big adjustment – homework will start after Labor Day, and only one recess. And academics pretty much all day. It’s a big change, but I know he’ll be great! He keeps saying they’re going to ask him to do fractions for homework. :). Haha. No idea where that came from, but it cracks us up.

We also have to wear uniforms for the first time this year. It will be nice to have them and not to have to worry about what to wear to school each day. But it was a big pain trying to get all the right stuff. (The pants they are supposed to wear from Land’s End, don’t fit well, so we had to find a different brand that worked better).

The biggest disappointment is that Alex, Campbell’s best friend at school for the last three years isn’t in his class this year. :(. He’s pretty sad about that. Finally, we were so exhausted tonight that Campbell wet the bed. He’s only done this about 3 times ever and it’s been a really long time. I think he was just wiped out after a busy first day of 1st Grade. Poor guy was so upset in the night. On the up side, the mattress pad we bought to cover Campbell’s new mattress worked perfectly!

Playing a new game with Campbell Rumikub. It took a minute for him to get the hang of it, and he definitely can’t count add high enough to know when to go out. But, he did see a way for me to break apart the runs and move them around and win at the end of the game so we could beat dad! I’d say that’s pretty good!

One of the sweetest things about Campbell is how much he loves our cats. :).

Yard work with dad while mom’s at work!
