Prince's basketball and Princess time!

We've had a great Sunday so far!  We made it to church - a feat in and of intself.  After church we headed out to Cici's Pizza to celebrate good grades.  Prince got all As and Princess got 2 Bs and the rest As.  Knight got a really good report card too - they do not do letter grades for first grade.  It was nice to not have to worry about lunch or clean-up.  We have given up our normal going out once a week - our precious little Duke does not like to sit still so rather than fighting him at restaurants, we just eat in. 

After lunch Prince rushed upstairs to change into shorts for basketball practice.  Princess asked to come along so we all headed out.  We swung by Prince's BFF's house - they are on the same basketball team - and headed to practice.  While Prince and his BFF practiced, Princess and I walked the track.  This track is really nice.  It's one floor above the basketball court, and the court can be seen from the track.  It's nice - I get an hours' walk out of the deal.  Princess and I talked the whole time.  I love it!  I am so close to my mom and I really, really want the same for Princess and me.  We talked about her BFF going to a different middle school next year.  We talked about her most likely coming back to the same high school and what we could do to nurture their relationship while they are not attending the same school.  We talked about friends and what sports she would like to try (Softball).  I am so thankful for our time together.  I know my days of her thinking that I am smart, cool, exciting, etc. are limited.  I have heard that parents are not allowed to be seen at middle school by their tweenagers.  I love this little girl with my whole heart.  I want us to be close.  I am thankful for the hour we had one-on-one today.
