Over a month
I can't believe that it has been over a month since I've blogged. I'm so far behind. I'll have some time the next couple of weeks since Todd is out of town, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up. I have so much to catch up on. Along with the every day fun things, I have James' birthday and our trip to Rome.
But before I catch up with all of that I'll post our pictures of what we did yesterday. This little girl just cracks me up. She is at such a fun age. Of course all her ages have been fun, but it's cute to see her grown up so fast. She is a happy and confident little girl and we are so proud of her for the sweet little girl that she is. We couldn't ask for a better girl for our family.
This was taken yesterday morning. We had a few minutes before we had to leave for the bus. She chose to read in her book. Over Spring Break she read and read and read for hours every day. She is at the last of her book in a series of four and she is just dying to find out what happens. The only sadness she had at going back to school was that her reading time was back to normal...back to just 1 1/2 hours a day!
These were taken after school yesterday at her soccer class. Do you see her? I'll give you a hint, she is the only one wearing pink! Which is because she is the only girl in the class. MIS was offering two soccer teams after school for her age. One was an all-girls team for 1st-4th graders. The second was co-ed for 1st-2nd graders. We signed her up for both since you don't always get your first choice. We found out that she could do both. We decided to let her go to each class and then decided which one she wanted to do. She decided that she wanted to do both. Both have been great for different reasons. The co-ed team has the better coaches by far, he is actually teaching them some great soccer skills.
The interesting thing to me is to watch the difference is boys and girls soccer. The girls are all having a great time, about half are interested in soccer and the other half are just there for the social aspect. The boys on the other hand take it to a whole new level. These little boys are so focused and intense. I'm happy Hailee gets a chance to play with them. For the most part they are pretty good with her and she isn't concerned at all about being the only girl out there. She has a Bayern kit that she could be wearing like half the boys out there, but she likes her "pink" outfit. I love it that she is comfortable being who she is.
