Poof. First grade is finished. The girl reads remarkably well and is interested in it. She's outstanding on spelling and digs math. Her bestie at school was Leah. I've heard nothing but good things about who she is - she's sweet, well behaved, smart, all the things. I couldn't be more proud.
I'm a Mom. After years of desire and uncertainty if the day would ever come here I am. Follow along on the adventure..

Splish-splash
Next week the girl will step away from Jujitsu/Muay Thai during the week to give swim a try. She wanted to do the Kraken swim team, so here we are. This of course means I need to hurry and get some supplies (flippers, backup goggles/cap) but also a racing suit. She's not going to be happy about that last one as they aren't as modest as she prefers. I'm hoping if she gets to pick which ones she wants she'll be more filling to wear it.

A day off

All the things
Here I am, very behind again. Avery is doing quite well at school - to a fault honestly. When she had a B on something she brought home she was rather displeased. It's hard lesson when things come pretty easy most of the time and one she doesn't like to hear - but some things require practice and you won't be good at everything.
Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai continue to go well. She has her days where she doesn't want to go, especially if it is gi on, but for the most part she seems to enjoy it. At this point she is a 3 stripe white belt.
She is in the midst of another round of swimming lessons at the high school - I think this will be her last set. She successfully swam the full length of the pool with a few head pop ups to breath. I think she is on track if she wanted to try out for Kraken's swim team, not that we have enough hours in the day for all the things.
Catechism wrapped up the week before Easter, giving us the chance to sleep in on Sundays. ... and let's be honest, first grade is almost complete.
Her summer is starting to shape up. Again she will go to our church's summer fun week, and likely the presby church's vacation bible school (depending on when they're having it -- yet to be announced). We have two weeks of vacation planned again as well. In between those things we will squeeze in 2-3 weeks of Camp Splash. Polish it off w/ a couple of weeks sleeping in and chilling... and her summer is completely spoken for.
