Summer - Week 3

D'oh! Has it been over a week again? Bad me. We were out of town Monday though, so that day shouldn't count.

We've kept up with the spelling, math, and Harry Potter every day. The spelling definitions are PURE torture. It took Cameron two hours to write three definitions, two days in a row! Ugh. Of course, if he hadn't been using fancy crazy writing then it wouldn't have taken so long. Whatever. It's his choice to take forever if he wants to. Seriously, six definitions in two days isn't too much to expect. (Do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself? Is it working?) But I think it's paying off.

Not really much else to report! Cassia started her new ballet class Tuesday morning. It's much more disciplined but she still loves it. It's the Pre-Threshold class, for 6-yr olds with prior experience. New 6-yr olds would go into the class she just left. Next year will be Threshold and the next she would start the numbered levels that promote by skill rather than age. She's really grown up....

She's so cute!

I am debating two ballet schools right now for my Fairy. Oh well, I'll figure it out. She says she wants a "real" ballet school instead of the lessons she has had over the last year, and after the recital in May, I don't blame her - it was really disorganized.

Gillian hates writing definitions too. It was part of her language arts work last year, and she would draaaaaag it out for hours at a time until we were both miserable. It didn't occur to me until just now that I probably could have had her type them with much less drama. Oops.

That's a sweet little ballerina you've got there!
