Finally Summer!!!

Oh man we have waited and waited! Still some days are too cold to swim we started swim lessons the first week of school. It was cooooooooold! It's gotten better since. 

Sully got a new pool. He likes it but he likes it more when his siblings are home to play with him. 

He is still so tiny. 12 month swim trunks are falling off. Still have to buy small swim diapers. Sigh. 

Poor Sick Sully

It's been a horrible spring for this guy. High fevers, constant runny nose and cough, etc.

Including pretty rashes. 

It all started with a virus at Christmas.

And I just can't keep him well.

This last time he bought himself a diagnosis of asthma (which they now call reactive airway disease) and a twice daily inhaler.

I was worried this week that he was getting something again but looks like maybe he is ok. He needs a few months with no fever!!!'

Our first new belt!

G started tae Kwon do in jan and tested recently for his first new belt. I had to miss testing because it was the middle of the day on a Saturday, but I got to see the belt presentation.

He complains a lot about going to Tkd, but I think mainly because he is tired after school and would rather stay home. It is helping his confidence a ton but he still has a long way to go!

For his next test on this Friday he has to count in Korean which he has been doing for weeks. Every time they ask him to do it he won't do it in class. He says because he can't do it very good. Sigh. This kid needs SO Much positive reinforcement. Mira already has plenty of self confidence of course. I'm not familiar with a kid who struggles with this. It's a struggle for me. I'm hoping Tkd will really help over time. I can already see changes in him little by little. 

Here comes 1st grade!

Man it's hard to believe it!!!

Moving on up!

I may never get over him being in kindergarten. I think he likes it but when I ask him his answer is always that he wants to stay home. I think he just wants to make it clear that he would rather go nowhere! He already has 4 friends he can name. 

He had the very best pre k teacher in the whole world. Good enough to make me consider pulling sully to that school when he is old enough!! We will miss her! 

He also misses Charlie like crazy. I ask him who he plays with on the playground and he tells me he didn't know what to play because Charlie wasn't there!!! Goodness! 

There they go!!!

First WOF of the season

A few weeks ago we had a nice Sunday and we went to worlds of fun for the first time this year. 

Griffy is FINALLY tall enough to ride all the rides in camp snoopy, although barely, and only with his tennis shoes on! 

Griff is getting much more adventurous this year! 

We had a lot of fun!!! Sundays are still a good weekend day for us even though I work "weekends." Awesome to work weekend nights. 

Celebrating a nice day

This year on take your kid to school day, Mira went to school anyway because I had to go in to work for awhile and b can't bring young kids. I got done early and went ahead and picked them up around 1:30. We decided to enjoy one of the only nice days to date. 

We took their bikes to penguin park and they rode while I ran. G did great on his first longer bike ride(1.8 miles)! He has this issue with dragging his feet instead of using his breaks, which I don't notice when we are at home. Hmmmm....
