Botanical Gardens

Japanese Garden today. We had a long day and explored new areas in the garden.

Yellow Belt

For those unaware we have signed A up for TaeKwonDo.  She loves it and gets to see one of her better friends from Kindergarten.  He's a blast to have around the house too.  Last Saturday we had our first testing for A.  She managed to hammer chop/hit the board and break it.  She also did pass her test and get a yellow belt.  She's the one in the video that is the last to break the board for her row.  

 

Bike Ride!

Recently A has learnt to ride a bike. She is quite good and she and I have taken a couple of rides together now. Today though everyone left me at home and went to the park. With the twins at least moving they will be fun at parks as they can start to play as well.

A has taken to first grade with extreme finesse. As normal, she adores her teacher and her teacher can do no wrong. She isn't fond of her spelling tests and constantly tries to not study.  She is doing rather well overall though.

G is getting back to not having A around all day. He is still not able to start Pre-K and I'm not sure we will enroll him next year either. He is remarkably smart and I'm not sure I was the school district to change that yet.

Both twins are highly mobile. A commented, "M moved" today because she thought he was supposed to stay in one place. M army crawls like he's going through basic training. E scoots a bit more, and he's determined to stand.
