Full Steam Ahead!

This year has been charging forward quickly.  The second round of developmental swimming classes is well underway.  We continue to go to jiu jitsu and muay thai.  At jiu jitsu she recently got her first red stripe on her white belt and then tested for a new belt.  Much to my surprise she was presented a gray with white stripe belt last night.  She also was invited to join in the advanced striking (muay thai) class and went to the first of that last night.

We're getting ready for her first confession at the end of the month in preparation for her first communion.

To my shock last night she asked if I knew what a "first period" was.  Oh no.  My heart sank.  Turns out a girl in the other second grade class got hers.  I feel so bad for her, that's so young, ugh.  I did my best to explain to girl and answer her current questions.  We watched a couple of videos too.  Hopefully it's a few years off for my gal.
