Josh entertained us last week with his preschool end of the year program..."Rockin' with Mother Goose." It's been a great year, and I can't believe he's headed to Kindergarten in the Fall. (It's really only 10 weeks away, but saying "the Fall" makes it seem like longer.) He can't wait to ride the bus, be at Madelyn's school, etc. I, on the other hand, am experiencing all of the emotions (good and sad) that go with letting go. I am excited for Josh to embark on the next phase of his learning, and he is more than ready...he started reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle outloud to me a few weeks ago like it was Hop on Pop...
That's my Josh!
Madelyn once again had a successful gymnastics exhibition showcasing all she has learned this year! She can almost do the Chinese splits, is frequently (meaning any time she finds an empty space) found doing cartwheels and practicing round-offs, and is improving her skills on the balance beam. Ms. Ning told her recently that she had better pay attention better in class or she would never go to second level! This caught her attention, and she has been trying harder ever since. Ms. Ning is a wonderful gymnastics instructor who is a former Chinese Olympic gymnast, and former Chinese Olympic gymnastics coach! And we only pay $30/month for 2 lessons/week! What a blessing for her to share her talents in our little town!
We got new bunkbeds for the boys this week...our old ones have served us well, but we were starting to wonder when Josh would land on Dallin in the night. Yup, they were the ones from the dumpster in good ole' Northwood Family Housing!
We recently moved Madelyn into the former playroom which meant moving many things around...redistributing toys between the bedrooms, recycling toys at the planned yard sale, and relishing in newfound space created by redistribution and recycling!
