Huck has decided that he wants to eat with a fork now. We have a tiny little Peter Rabbit fork that he uses with varying degrees of success. But don't try to help him! He can do it himself! He is also getting two new teeth. That makes 6 on the top and 4 on the bottom. When he is cutting a new tooth he is generally has a day or two that is rough- nasty diaper rash, irritable, not sleeping well and prone to melt-downs. I consider us lucky that it is not worse. He is learning to ride his "bike" outside and does okay with it. I love to watch his little run- his legs swing out to the side and his bum wiggles back and forth.
There was a Popsicle party for in-coming kindergartners this week. Our elementary school has a Wanna-Bees group for preschoolers that has activities about once a month through-out the year for kids and parents to get to know each other, teachers and the school. I felt like a little match-maker on the playground- "Duchess, this is Star and she is going to be in Kindergarten also." Duch did have a pretty big fall off the monkey bars and bumped her head pretty hard. She has a little bruise to remember it by- because she forgets that it hurts until she sees the bruise and suddenly it hurts "sooo bad!" But she recovered and went back to playing. We met two other girls who are having their tonsils out- one a few days before Duch and the other sometime this Fall. We are anxious to learn who her teacher will be- sadly Bubba's awesome Kindergarten teacher is not teaching in the classroom this year.
The kids had their last dance class. It was pretty anti-climatic, just a regular old class. They watched some of So You Think You Can Dance (NOT the sex-on-the-dance-floor one with the girl wearing lingerie) but the ballet ones. They decided to create their own routines incorporating lifts and jumps. They practiced a bunch. Duch's breathing before hand is so that she doesn't laugh :-) I sent to their teacher, Ms Amanda, who loved it!
Ican't figure out how to put a video in here, so it is on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/christine.knefley#!/christine.knefley/photos
