8U Mathlete

Christmas was one of a kind this year, as a real quantity of snow hit the Triangle, forcing cousin Lilia and fam to extend their visit. The kids loved sledding down the golf fairway and diving into the bunker on hole #14. There was also some top notch touch football action that took place once the sleds were stored. The new year of 2017 kicked off with a couple of trips for mr.carson, first traveling to Disney-Orlando where he rode Thunder Mountain, and got soaked from head to toe on a raft ride at Universal. Next, carsy was off to Myrtle for a winter beach excursion including loads of mini golf with nanny+grandpa. Around mid-February, he finished up his 8U roller hockey season with a slick wrap around lifter over the goalie, only to begin a new 8U soccer season as a member of the Green Beans. So far in two games he has 7 goals, and his new coaches love him. Lil buddy is engrossed in the Pokemon series (both cards and the show), and trades his cards at school with Geo and even with his buddies Evan/Alex. C is excelling in math in second grade, including 3-digit addition and subtraction. Approaching his eighth birthday, my boy has lost 5 teeth altogether. As you are growing up so fast buddy, I wanted to share a few words of advice that I came up with a while ago. Maybe some of them will help you one day.
