Eric Stephen Smith
6 Years Old
Eric is a Lego MANIAC! If you think I am getting carried away, then you really don't
know Eric. For Christmas, all he wants is Lego's, Lego's and more Lego's. This boy
has a ton of Lego's! He wakes up and plays with Lego's before school. He comes home
from school and play's with Lego's. He takes his Lego magazine to school and reads
it on the bus. It is amazing how much Lego one person needs.
Every Wednesday, Eric also is taking skating lessons. Shawn is determined to get
Eric playing hockey. I am not looking forward to having to buy all that hockey gear.
So we will see how this one will unfold. Eric really wants to do soccer, but we
have a rule...One sport at a time. It takes time to learn how to skate. So we have
promised him that he will be able to do a summer soccer camp. So he is happy with
that for now.
As far as school...he is adjusting very well. We knew he was a smart cookie, but
he is finally applying himself and we are very proud of him. He can even read simple
sentences now! I am amazed by the amount of homework a first grader is required
to do. Once again we will survive and life will move on.
