I have been just so busy that I haven't had time to update.
We are definitely enjoying this warmer weather. Boys love going to the park and riding their bikes. I'm curious when the right time to take training wheels off is. Last summer, I told Kevin, I thought we might want to try this year. So we will see.....
Soccer just started and Austin is rocking it! He just ran out there at practice and really gave it his all. We are so proud of him! We have had 2 games and won both! Go Sharks. So the other day, we were at the library and the boys wanted to pick out a CD to listen to. When we got in the car, we listened to both, but when we got home, we didn't have a cd player. I told the boys we'd have to grab a lap top to listen. Well, grandma had a cd player with headphones, so the boys took turns to listen to their cds. We went to Savers and Good Will and found each of them a cd player for a great deal, I think we spent $8 total. The boys are happily listening to their music in their rooms. We do have to teach them to leave them in the rooms and to quit opening and closing the top, but I'm happy to say, they are happy. It was very cute, listening to John David sing his songs and use his hands to wave during a song.
We are moving along on the reading. I have seen so much improvement with Austin on reading, but we do have a long way to go. Practice, practice, practice, they say. It's so awesome hearing your child read to you. I just love it. We started reading a chapter book over the weekend. Mainly, I read it to them, and ask questions throughout, and yesterday we left at a good part, so I can't wait to get back to it tonight. I hope this helps the boys enjoy reading more! We also have been practicing our site words, I must say it definitely helps when we play games with the site words.John David rocked it as his spring sing. He was singing all the words and doing the hand gestures. He brought daddy up when it was time to bring up a parent. It was so cute seeing my guys up there. Melted my heart!
The boys have been very helpful lately with "chores." They both help me fold the clothes, which I HATE doing. But socks, towels and their clothes are their job and they do a pretty good job. I won't complain at all, if it's not folded, how I would, I don't care as long as they do it! Nice work boys. They have helped me empty the dishwasher, cleaned up their rooms and even helped wash walls. They rock.That's it for now. I'm sure I'll be posting more in the next couple of months because we have a lot coming up! Boys are turning 5 and 6 :-( :-) :-( :-) I'm both happy and sad because they are growing WAY TOO FAST! John David is getting ready for kindergarten, I still can't believe it! And the warm summer months! Can't wait.
