We have
finished another school year. Milo had a
great year in 2nd Grade. He
really bonded with his teach Ms. Carvalho and has such a good group of friends. He started baseball this year and loves it
almost as much as he loves hockey.
Liesel smashed Kindergarten. We
love Ms. Boyer and were excited to have another year with her. Liesel also made some wonderful friends. She has a lot of strong girls in her class. They all keep each other on their toes. Maddox had a little bit of a rough start in
preschool, but ended strong. He would
never cry when we dropped him off, but he would often tear up in the middle of
school and say “He missed his mom”. That
was not the case at the end of the year.
He grew to love his teachers, his speech therapist and of course the
other kids. He has one more year of
preschool and I know that he will thrive.
We have moved into the summer with gusto. The kids have had full schedule so far; pool, library, movies, swim lessons, dance, baseball, tutoring, and parks. Baseball, Dance, and Swim have wrapped up for the summer leaving our July open for vacation. We leave for Hawaii in a few weeks and until then I am sure Miss Jan and the kids will have no trouble finding stuff to keep them busy. Liesel enjoyed dance and loved the dance recital. Verdict is still out on what her "thing" will be. At this point she does all activities strictly for the social aspect of it. Can't say I blame her. Milo LOVED baseball and has rated it up there with hockey. They had a great season and so much fun. He is working with a tutor, Miss May, for reading and he is really enjoying it and has grown so much. The biggest thing I have noticed is that he is starting to like to read, which in my book is the number one goal. If he likes it he will naturally get better. Maddox has become quite a swimmer. He has learned to dive for toys at the bottom of the pool. He also got a medal at the end of swim lesson which was VERY important to hime. The other priority of the summer for him was to get his own library card. Pretty much if his brother and sister have it or can do it, it is a must for him.
