Starting a New Chapter

Tomorrow morning our little girl starts Kindergarten. She is a little nervous and really excited. I'm full of mixed emotions. Excited, nervous, and a little sad to know she is growing up so quickly. But mostly I can't wait to hear about her first day.

Summer School

Today the boys' teacher Ms. Sandi wrote the following on their daily report card:

"Bradley is really into the art projects these days and he is the best eater in the class, he loves his food :-) "

"Dylan is doing so well in his class he has the best sense of humor he makes me smile all day :-)"

The boys still aren't talking too much but we've noticed a huge improvement in their sounds over the past few weeks and they are getting a small repertoire of words. We'll keep working at it with therapy sessions every Wednesday morning.

Samantha has been loving the summer program at her school. She's been to the Frederick News Post, Fractured Prune, Hanover Pretzel Factory, Giant Eagle, Chuck E. Cheese, Firehouse, splash park, animal control, animal hospital, rose hill manor, cabin john park, fountain rock nature park, the pool every week, the movies every week, and of course several parks. They have splash days, a petting zoo, gem truck and more at school too. She's been in a class with older kids and is certainly learning things we aren't even ready for (she's scared to use the bathroom at a school because the older kids have been telling scary stories and today she started telling us how there were zombies in the woods at the park and something about Michael Jackson's thriller video.)

This week was pretty exciting since Samantha got to go to her Elementary school for her Kindergarten assessment. Just a few more weeks and she'll be in Kindergarten. I'm amazed.


I've also dared something new this summer. I took a class in organizational theory (yes, as boring as it sounds). I'm not sure if I'll be able to take more classes but it sure kept me busy.
