We went to Calicinto Ranch with our little preschool. It was such a fun day. I will miss that place--I've been there four years in a row now!
Here's the whole group. (Some are younger siblings.)
Riding the horse--wow doesn't he look excited. I've noticed sometimes he hides his excitement on purpose--he really was excited about it.
Julianna was in a school play with her mainstream 1st grade class. They did 3 plays, hers was "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." She was a sheep. She didn't have any lines, but she was supposed to read together with some other kids in the class. I'm so proud of her for walking up there by herself and being with the group. By the way, her teacher said she can read 45 words a minute now. She's made so much progress this year!
There she is again, a little nervous, but she did it!
Blake with his coach tonight at the awards ceremony/pizza party. We really liked his coach and hope to have him again next year. He has a real trophy now! The ball spins around--Blake actually wanted to sleep with it tonight, he liked it so much.
Blake at his last game while he was sitting out. When I told him to smile, he said, "SOCCER!"
With his team getting their snack at the last game. Blake ALMOST scored a goal in this game. Actually, he thought he did. He kicked the ball toward the net (miraculously) and watched as it slowly went toward the goalie. The goalie picked it up and then the ref blew the whistle. Blake looked at me and said, "I got a goal!" I smiled and said, "Almost!" He then gave a confused look. So I had to tell him that he needs to get the ball into the net, not just to the other goalie. It was really cute. But for being his first time, he did a great job--the coach had him play a lot and would pull him aside to talk to him about how to play and improve. It was a fun soccer season!Here's a little video of him playing, a few weeks ago.
The end!
