Daffodils, Artists in Motion, Mothers Day, C4, Grandview, Swimming, Books, and Baseball for Easton
We have been quite busy over the past two weeks. There was the Daffodil party at Brian's uncle Paul's house. The flowers were in perfect bloom. They were everywhere and it was a great time! We even had four flowers bloom at our place that we planted last fall.
This past week I was fortunate enough to be able to volunteer in Easton's class for the Artists in Motion Day. They made these cute bears which I later received as a gift for Mothers Day. Hadley also had the Artists in Motion team come to hear class and I received a cupcake that she made. Lovely!!!
Mothers Day weekend included a trip to the beach as the weather was nice. I was made a beautiful breakfast, there were flowers, and the gifts previously mentioned.
C4 had a clothing swap on Wednesday. I love this as I usually end up with a lot of lovely items for free and I get to donate things (to get them out of my house) and whatever is left, the Church donates to women's shelters.
Easton just finished his last class at Grandview in this block of time. He has been working really hard at being able to use the S sound. The latest techniques are to put his hand on his shoulder to make the S sound and then finish the word by taping his hand. Also, to say tttttttttttt ssssss. This is used for words that have S at the end. Both very helpful. I am proud of how hard he has been working on this!
He has made such incredible progress that I am sad his sessions are ending. However I feel he is very aware of what he is working so that is fantastic!
Swimming lessons are about half done. The kids seems to be doing really well. While both kids like to swim, I think they also like the library time before their lessons. Hadley has been taking out 5 of the fairy chapter books each week and finishing all that she takes out. This is seriously impressive!
Easton started baseball tonight. He is on the Jr T ball team. 4 and 5 year olds.
He had such a fantastic time playing tonight. He received his #9 Jersey and couldn't wait to do whatever coach Ian asked.
They did some warm ups, practiced hitting and then each team took the field (basically lined in front of where the pitcher should be) to catch the hit balls from the T. Then it went back and forth so that each player hit twice.
Since rules were merely a suggestion, it was just a lot of fun to watch.
Easton tried so hard, and ran wherever the ball was hit. On occasion while fielding he ran the bases with the players from the other team. He was very polite if someone got to the ball first and in one instance, someone lost their shoe on the way to first and he returned it to them.
I was very proud at how well he played.
He was all smiles all night. He truly enjoyed himself.
