2 Days Down

So this week looks like its gonna be a busy one. On the schedule we have the big kids starting daycare (which is just different from the normal), Seth still going to grandparents, dentist appointment for the big kids, Daniel starting 4 day a week football practice, and just throw in Bj being out of town for training, which he has never done before.

The good news is we are already 2 days through and tomorrow is our break day, kinda.

Day 1 of football was so so for Daniel. New things are hard for him so couple that with getting kicked in the shin accidentally with another kids cleated foot, lets just say it wasn't a great first impression on him. He is pretty hard on himself, so he was disappointed to not be a superstar on day 1.

I just kept encouraging him and telling him day 2 would be better and it was. When I picked him up today he had a smile on his face and said, "I think I'm gonna like playing football." I'm really hoping he'll learn teamwork and to work hard for something and achieve it, finding satisfaction in that. I want all my kids to be self-motivated,  but if you never push yourself to do something hard and see it happen, you don't ever learn that.

So far at daycare, the kids have been to the park, roller skating and tomorrow is laser tag for Katelynn and skating for the other two. Friday they go to Cowboys Stadium. I really love that they are able to do fun things in the summer with summer camps at daycare. They really enjoy it so I'm glad we can let them go to daycare for a few weeks each summer.

Bj is at interrogation training for work. He is learning how to ask questions without being leading and to interpret answers to find people in their lies and get to the truth. In case you didn't know he is an asset protection manager and basically is in charge of investigating suspect behavior from his employees and then helping with interviews so that theft/misappropriation can be documented and dealt with from the legal side. It's very interesting stuff and he's really enjoying it.

After this training/certification he can conduct the interviews instead of assisting the interviews. Yeah he is totally happy to be the assistant, but it'll be good for him to be pushed out of his comfort zone. God has a way of pushing us farther than we ever thought we could/would go and using that not only to advance us in our physical lives (like in his job) but also to translate that for His purposes.
