Here’s the week at a glance:
Did I say that I volunteer in Leo’s class on Wednesdays doing “Kids Into Thinking,” which is Wake County’s answer to a gifted and talented program for K-2? I do, and he likes it! Six kids plus me for forty five minutes doing something a little bit “more”—we’ve created money systems with rocks, written letters to humans as if we were endangered species, compared and contrasted fiction and non-fiction, etc. I have a new appreciation for Leo’s teacher! First graders sometimes have a difficult time staying on task!
Did I say that my kids sometimes ride their bikes to school? They do! And so do their friends! Leo just started in the past couple of weeks, but Olivia has been doing it regularly about once a week for months. I love where we live!
Jason’s preschool is wrapping up, which is sad, but he has grown SO much! I am proud of this kid! Looking at the clouds here!
We had all the kids in our backyard the other day... I love it when the sky is blue and the sun is shining!
The boys were getting along nicely while Olivia and Nicholas were away!
My garden keeps on growing!
On Mother’s Day, Olivia was hung over from lack of sleep at camp, and the day was dreary, but that made for a perfectly lazy day! The kids played sweetly while I did yoga:
And then I got the chance to see Leo play at his basketball game! It was so heartening to see all the lessons he is learning—good sportsmanship, taking constructive criticism well, sharing with and encouraging his teammates, listening. I was impressed! He is number 18.
Nicholas and Olivia made it to spring outing and had a blast! I will try to post the videos Nicholas took soon!!
I love looking at pictures of your kiddos. They are growing up so much. It's such a testament of their ages to see your big girl reading while the others play.
