Pretty Balanced and Very Busy

The only reason I have time to write this entry this morning is because Super Girl (age 6) is home with a sore tummy.  This weekend we have our second open house and we are (I think) still enjoying the challenge of trying to sell our house that now, yen years on, seems so small.

 

The girls have been even busier than usual.  Here’s a quick run-down:

Super Girl (age 6):

  • Graduates from kindergarten next week.
  • Had her Grade One Orientation morning (went well).
  • Has started her sport for the summer: baseball!  She liked it so much she made a baseball diamond diorama as soon as she got home from last week’s practice.
  • Is on the verge of riding her bike with no training wheels (I’ll keep you posted).
  • Has her first loose tooth.
  • Is greatly enjoying our read-aloud of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
  • Danced last week in the provincial dance competition.  Her group clogged to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” as interpreted by Hannah Montana.

Action Girl (age 9):

  • Is winding down Grade Three.
  • Has started her SIXTH year of soccer.  She missed the second night (last night) because of a bad tummy but should have a great year.
  • Continues to enjoy a wonderful and complex social life with a number of close friends (including a best friend).
  • Has “wrapped” Super Mario Brothers on her Nintendo DSi.
  • Is currently reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on her own.
  • Is going to camp for six days in early July with her best friend.  Every camper gets to pick an area of speciality.  Hers?  “Rock Climbing” for the second year in a row.

More soon,

B.
