Well, this will be a quick little catch up. Honestly the thing that slowed me down, aside from the lack of time, was the disorder of my iPhoto. The task of organizing that was more daunting than my desire to update the "baby book." But proctoring a long test will get one caught up on things so here we are.
January:
I organized my biggest dance concert to date, celebrating the 20th Anniversary of our dance concert and welcoming back alumni, recreating old pieces... it was fun but a huge undertaking. So I'm not sure what my kids were up to most of that time. Here's what I've got.
Trying out the hoop that Santa brought
Taking care of class "pet" George the Bunny for the weekend
Not taking such good care of class "pet" George the Bunny... (a certain big brother put George up the chimney to examine where Santa comes down)
He wasn't in that much trouble... just a field trip to Alcatraz. Bay Area kid right of passage!
Cousin fun
Free Samples of Caesar Salad at Trader Joe's (a new obsession)
Just feeding the deer
Is it only raining on her?
February:
Not sure if it's good or bad when my kids spend time with my students. Especially when they teach Lucy how to take a selfie
1st Semester Awards Assembly - Honor Roll
2nd grade has been very exciting for Tommy academically and personally. He's having a great time with his class, got a lead role in the musical (playing one of Cruella's henchmen in 101 Dalmatians), and loves playing sports on the playground at every possible outdoors moment. His school had to tinker with their math program mid-year and adjust the accelerated schedule that all the students were working at. It's a long story, but the result is that Tommy and his good buddy Shen are now taking math with the 3rd graders! We continue to be astounded by Tommy's thirst for knowledge. He absolutely loves math and is excited to be learning how to type. He has also recently been complimented on his beautiful cursive writing. Loves math and has neat handwriting? We're really not sure where he gets it!
Both kids are very excited that Lucy will be moving to Pre-K at Tommy's school next year. They are looking forward to being at the same school and riding to school together in the morning.
Lucy's been hard at work preparing for the new school. Grandma even gave her a little "homeschooling" on a sick day. Lucy is very clearly revealing that she's a lot like her brother in many ways. uh oh!
But really, what more is February to a baseball fan than the last long wait until March?
