The school year ended well for all of us. We're homeschooling Natali next year, and she informed me as we were sitting at one of her preschool's end-of-year picnic, "It's summer! So we can start homeschooling this afternoon!" Needless to say, since we do not want to finish kindergarten by Christmas, we aren't actually starting yet. Instead we're just doing a lot of fun activities that are nearby that open up her world. We've seen a Japanese kimono dancing group and a Hmong storytelling group. She's also in a soccer/t-ball parks & rec group, which she seems to enjoy so far.
Kjirsten is so close to being potty-trained. The Dora underwear we got her last week seem to be a good incentive. She should have been potty-trained a while ago, but she's been so stubborn she would stay dry for a few days, then not care for the next few days. She is becoming much more verbal as well, which is exciting to see and hear. Now if only she would become less picky when it came to food!
I've been watching our nephew the past few weeks. It's been great for our girls to get a chance to play with their cousin, and he's really seemed to have fun here! I also get to watch my god-daughter in the afternoons, which is fun for me, and fun for Kjirsten to get to play sort of the "big sister" role (the girls go to my god-daughter's mother's place in the mornings a few days a week, so they know each other well).
