Conditioning: Attends football conditioning 2-3 times a week (depending on how often they have it) and 1-2 times a week for lacrosse. He’s only missed when he’s been sick…..and that makes him an anomaly among freshman since not many kids are going to these sessions at all. I understand kids who are doing wrestling or basketball not going, but, as I’ve told Cpher, you are doing two sports, so, you are doing two sports.
There have been a few days where he’s been really tired, but, my impression for the most part is that it’s not that strenuous. Not sure I’m seeing any change in his upper-body development from the weightlifting but that might take some time.
Tasty Videos: Shared, everywhere, on facebook, they are a favorite of Christopher’s. He has attempted to make two or three of the recipes:
The Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake was not very successful; I ended up eating most of it over the course of a week. Too liquid-y….not sure where he went wrong here.
This Pull-Apart Pizza Muffin recipe isn’t the exact one on facebook but I think it is close enough. This recipe is the hit of the last couple months….it is very tasty and he’s made it several times. Did learn an important lesson about yeast after the first attempt (freeze the leftovers, don’t just leave them out in the fridge).
Madi: Not a girlfriend (Reasonably confident about this!) but without a doubt Cpher’s bestest of best friends and there isn’t even a close second. They spend hours on the phone (face-timing).
…….making Christmas cookies……
….taking the relatively easy Oreo Challenge….
Christopher is Madi’s ‘date’ for the winter formal / Sadie Hawkins dance….but I’d again caution that it is more best friends than ‘date’. I think.
School: Could have gone better in the first semester at high school, could have been worse I guess. If there is one lesson to be learned here it is that Cpher can not skip or turn in assignments late….he’s not a good enough test taker to overcome that kind of handicap.
