Lost Pines: Animals

Our room opened up feet from this... it was absolutely amazing! We even had an eight month old version of our own Tiger next door that we adopted for the weekend.

Delaney Potty Training - 27 Months Old

The second week in her new class - 6.14.15, Delaney went two days at school staying dry and using the potty. So we got to take her and she picked out her very first set of big girl panties!

6.23.15 - She has been consistently staying dry and going in the potty all day at school and at home without much trouble. She stays dry at night if she doesn't sleep past 7AM but we really aren't focused on night-time training. The biggest issue the last week since she has been exclusively wearing under ware is that she won't go #2 in the potty. So there will be full 24 hour days that she doesn't go. On Sunday afternoon, she told me her "body hurts" and Addie sat with her in the bathroom for 40 minutes. We put her under ware back on her and 5 minutes later while she was playing she went #2. I am sure it will take one time and she will be over it.

Summer Camp - Intense Swim Stroke Camp

When we picked up Carter and Addie on Friday afternoon, to head to Lost Pines, we were shocked when they BOTH pulled out FIRST PLACE trophies. Addie won her's in free style, breat stroke and backstroke relay. Carter's was 6 laps with back stoke and free style. They couldn't stop talking about Josh Davis being there leading swim instruction, giving lots of detailed tips and getting to hold all his gold and silver medals! Carter's favorite tip from Josh was to pop his elbow back during freestyle and Addie learned how to do the best streamline ever.

First day of school - Delaney 2 years & 3 months. Transitioning to room 3A with lead teacher, Ms. Alyssa. 6/8/2015.

Carter's 2nd Grade Project - Martin Luther King Jr.

5.13.15
Carter worked hard preparing for this project for over a month. We watched real videos of MLK Jr, read online articles, read books researched his family and the way he spoke. We read through his quotes and talked about what they meant. We studied civil rights and other famous people of MLK's time like Rosa Parks and JFK.  Carter practiced nearly everyday and he blew the presentation out of water!
