Kid Going-Ons


A lot is happening with Kenna. She got her report card today and no surprise to us she is doing amazing. She actually scored the highest possible marks in art, music and PE (which is rare) so we are super excited that she is so well rounded! We have parent teacher night monday and cannot wait to see what Mrs. Dunne has to say! 

She started gymnastics a few weeks ago and loves it! We decided that we would work with a few of her friends and put together private lessons instead of the big group session. Its the same amount of money if they share, and it ends up being much more hands on and she is learning so much more! THe picture below is her with an ice pack because she accidentally got kicked in the face...oops!

We are really working on empathy and sassiness. Sure some of it is just the age, but trying to work on how her actions make others feel...a difficult concept for many kids. 

She is doing SO WELL in karate. She had tip testing a few weeks ago and was the ONLY little dragon to score a 10...that's out of about 60 kids, just amazing! She really is excelling in it!


 Zachary is 3 going on 13...he desperately wants to go to school and do all the big kid things that Kenna does. It is hard to explain to him that he has to be older, but we will probably put him in soccer, kindermusik and maybe swimming lessons next year. Hopefully he will get excited! And he starts preschool next fall, so plenty to do!

He is Mr. independent play these days, loves singing and making up imaginary tales, just so creative and fun. He likes doing things on his own, and can quickly move between happy and irate if he doesn't get his way. Below he wouldn't let me take a picture of Kenna without taking one of him, yes he is eating a banana minutes before bed...he is constantly starving.


Mr. Grayson - oh what to say here. He is in quite a funk these days. He wakes up happy, but gets so mad if something doesn't go his way. He is really into tantrums, screaming "NO!" and just overall mad. I am hoping this is a phase because the littlest things set him off like putting his coat on. We are trying to wait it out and hope that he learns better communication skills :) He understands a lot, just doesn't like to talk much yet...in time!
