Last post I mentioned girl got her first red stripe... since that post she tested and was promoted to her gray and white striped belt AAAAND she got her first stripe on it. She's locked in on some aspects and I've seen a leap forward in her skills there. I'm very proud of her progress and persistence.
Developmental swimming has ended. The 3rd marking period is over and we had straight As again. First confession is in the books and her first communion is coming up soon.
Summer weather is creeping in, so the evenings are drawing us outside to play or to walk/ride bikes.
The expander sits in place still at this time, but we're getting ready for the braces to go on at the end of the month. It has given enough space that the top two teeth are finally coming (they've been missing since August/September). She's definitely had another growth spurt. All... the... things!
