Dance

Rhoslyn just finished her second dance season.  Their theme this year was Circus and their song was Clover the Clown.

She loves dancing and I think it's something she will stick with for awhile.  We are taking a break for the summer so she can play soccer like Alex. 

Just one more year of her being in a Combo class and then she will get to pick and choose what she wants to be in.  

Practicing during Rehearsal.

Recital Day!

Moving on up

Our little girl is moving on up to Kindergarten!  I just don't know where the time has gone.  Mostly, I can't believe that we will officially have two children in school full-time!

Rhoslyn also had her last program at daycare.  It was bittersweet.  When she goes to daycare now, she will be a school-ager!  No more rest time either.  

I just can't believe it...

As bittersweet as it is, I am so glad she is heading to Kindergarten.  She needs it, to say the least.  She is a very smart girl and 4k just isn't enough for her.  She has mastered all upper and lower case letters, knows patters, writes her name beautifully (now we just need to work on her last name), she knows her letter sounds, counts to 100, can read some words, etc.  She is definitely ready!  This summer we are going to work on Sight Words and reading more.

This young lady is going to achieve great things!

Tiger to Wolf

Alex graduated from a Tiger Cub to a Wolf Cub a couple of weeks ago.  We are so proud of him.  Cub scouts has really helped him grow this year.  He has opened up more and he is being more outgoing.  He raises his hand to answer questions and really enjoys doing the activities for cub scouts.  One of my favorite parts of cub scouts is that he is learning what it takes to help people in the community.  This year he has helped with raking peoples yards, sang carols at nursing homes, helped distribute food donation bags and pick up and rang bells for the Salvation Army.  We love that he is getting these opportunities and it's awesome to talk with him about it to see how he felt about helping out in the community.  We couldn't be prouder of him.

Bill had surgery the day before Alex's graduation, so he wasn't able to attend.  It was hard not having him there and very emotional.  Luckily we were able to do a live video chat so dad could see Alex get his new book and badge.  Alex was also able to spend his Scout Bucks.  He chose some pretty cool items!  He loves scouts and dad loves doing scouts with him.
