Howdy! That's Channing's new word. He heard Justin use it and now he likes to say, "howdy!" Channing's first day of Pre-K was August 29th. It's about a 1/2 mile away and so we like to walk when we can. Channing rides his bike or scooter. So far every time I've picked him he tells me how much fun he had. I'm so glad that he's liking his class and teacher. He did AMAZING the first time I dropped him off. He just walked right in the door and said, "bye mom!" On September 2nd, labor day weekend, the Crawford's invited us boating. We loved going on the tube. Channing tried out the EZ wake trainer and did awesome! He even fell off at the end and was not phased at all! We didn't expect him to try standing up but he surprised us all and stood up with no problem! I got to try the wake board and that was fun. Sure do love having family with a boat! :) Happy as can be after falling off the EZ wake trainer.
