Last weekend we also headed into Frankenmuth for Grandma Dara’s 60th birthday! It was nice getting everyone together and the kids picked out a plant for her birthday.
This past week we picked up school enrollment forms for Noomi! We have a conference planned with her teacher next week so that we can discuss whether she should go into Young 5’s or Kindergarten. I could see it going either way. Academically, I think she would be fine in Kindergarten, but she has a late birthday and she’d be a lot younger than the other kids and emotionally she’s quite young. Young 5’s still ride the bus to/from school, have gym and art. They follow the kindergarten curriculum, it’s just a bit slower pace with more focus on social interactions, etc.
Ajax attended the PTSA meeting with me and behaved very well. He was quite excited since that meant he didn’t get home and in bed till almost 9 pm.
On Saturday, the kids had swim lessons. They both did great! Ajax put his face in the water and was practicing using his arms. Noomi claimed she knew how to swim and didn’t need the teacher to help her. Noomi was also annoyed that her regular teacher was absent – he’s a young college student, lol.
I had to go into the office for a few hours after swimming and ordered all our groceries online so that Dave just had to swing by and pick them up. On Saturday night we did pizza and a movie – Spiderman – and the kids loved it.
Today was quiet. We cleaned and put laundry away. Ajax finished his book report on James Cook. He did a great job of it and typed it up himself. He was excited to pick out the font.
Oh we also had a dentist appointment and it was hands-down Noomi’s best visit yet. After watching Ajax (who is a pro) she jumped right into the chair and followed all the dentist’s instructions!
