We have completed a month of school and are rolling on into the fall! The kids are doing awesome and are loving their extracurricular activities but not loving all of the homework they have this year...lol Of course Pito has the biggest work load of homework and is doing his best with the multiple pages of Algebra several nights per week. Reyna has struggled with her transition to 3rd grade but is finally finding her groove. Initially it was hard for her to adjust to a teacher with such a different teaching style than what she was use to with her 2nd grade teacher. We had a small bully issue as well in the first couple of weeks but we have gotten that resolved as well and she is feeling better about 3rd grade now. Of course her grades are good as always and her teacher has given us nothing but rave reviews concerning Reyna's classroom performance! Nico likes his new 2nd grade teacher and can be quoted as saying "I love her golden hair!". He cracks us up with his description of blonde hair! He is doing really well so far this year. His teacher says that she doesn't see many of the challenges that his teacher saw with him in class last year. This is wonderful news and tells us that all of the hard work and effort that we have put into changing his diet and routine has made a difference!
The boys are moving right along in Tae Kwon Do and will be testing for their yellow belt next month! Pito has excelled and shows such great enthusiasm in class every week. It has helped Nico with his self-discipline and confidence. Martial Arts was definitely a great choice for the boys.
Reyna is still in 5 dance classes each week and is doing a great job with balancing school and dance. She has impressed us with her level of comittment to make good grades and attend dance. She is very determinded to make the Dance Company Team this summer! She turns 9 tomorrow and all she wants is a shopping trip to Heather's Dance Boutique! I also planned a great surprise for her and bought tickets to Suzanne Farrell's 10th Anniversary Diamonds Ballet at The Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. We got 4th row seats and will attend the show next weekend! She chose Cheeseburger In Paradise for her birthday dinner and we will go to Cox Farm on Sunday for a hayride, pumpkin patch and hay maze! Fun filled weekend for the birthday girl!
I hope you enjoy the recent pics of the kids and catching up on their past month! Stay tuned for a great birthday tribute post for Reyna tomorrow:)
