Austin

Austin just finished kindergarten, he had an action packed year. He did really well for being the youngest kid in the school! This summer we are working on our writing nicely and spacing. He is keeping a journal of the things he does this summer, so far he does not like it, I hope it gets better.
Austin is still doing BMX. He has gotten better, only 1 more win before he his moved up in class. We took him to his first State and Red line cup. He struggled in the beginning, but when it was the finales he came out in 2nd place both days. His little calf muscles are so big.
About a month ago he finished Tball. He is going to take a break from it in the fall and try tackle football. Please keep him in your thoughts and if you pray in your prayers, that he doesn't get crushed. He made the minimum weight requirement by 2lbs. But this is something he has been asking to do all year.
Swimming like a champ as usual. The pool opened March 30th and he enjoys every minute of it.
He completed his first true run with me. It was an amazing feeling to keep encouraging him, to help him cross that line. He has no idea how much I cherish that 1 mile run. We trained for 2 weeks and I was supper proud.
He is a little social butterfly loves to play with someone at all times. His interest other than sports have been Ninjago, Ben 10 Wii Supper Mario Brothers, Nintendo 3DS and sleep overs with daddy.
We implemented a check system to help motivate him in the morning and it has help a great deal.
He takes recycle out each night (maybe every other night) and gets $5 at the end of the week. He is great at saving his money to buy something. He has bought about 4 wii games and 1 Nintendo 3DS game.
He is getting so big so fast and I hope he enjoys these days as much as I do.
