These pics were taken the day all the kids got their t-shirts from this summer's basketball camp. The Boy had such a great time. We will definitely be doing the camp again next year.
Be sure to check out what the other Ninjas made for the topic. I LOVE to see everyone's individual takes on the themes because we all think so differently and have different subjects to scrap about.
Tomorrow is The Boy's first day of school (first grade). I'm excited but nervous for him. He said he recognized a few kids in his new class at the open house from the playground but didn't really know any of them. Last year he had a hard time making friends at the beginning of the year because he's so shy. I'm hoping he's worked through that and he'll have a great initial experience. It's all about how he perceives his first day that will color how he proceeds. He's very "black and white". Once he makes up his mind it's hard to convince him to try another path. Keep your fingers crossed he has a super POSITIVE first day!!!! Thanks!!!!

Oh, p.s. - "Diego" commented on one of my early preschool album posts asking how I've been practicing handwriting with The Boy. I was unable to reply directly to her because her blogger profile wasn't available so if she's reading this now...I just bought some of the lined handwriting paper (you know, with the dashed line between the two solid lines?) and also just recently got an erasable white board with the same handwriting lines and I have him practice periodically (although not as often as I'd like). I also try to encourage him to write down as much as possible. As I said, I haven't done this as often as I'd wanted this summer so he still has a long way to go. I'm hoping his new teacher will have them write a lot.
i really like this lo!! the bright colors agains the white.. and the turkey net!!! that's soo rad!

I love the "netting" on the page! What a great idea. I can't believe how early the kids go back to school here. Ick. But I guess it's probably worth it to have longer breaks when the weather is better.
