Keeping busy

You're keeping us pretty busy as we head into summer.  Your last day of school is next week (although you're going to do 6 weeks of summer school too, so you'll hardly realize the difference).  Baseball ends next week too (no more commuting to Herriman twice a week during rush hour).  And, as always, you want to know where we're going today, and tomorrow, and the next day.  You don't like to stick too close to the house all day long.

I've tried to keep track of a few things you've said over the last little while...

-A character on a tv show you were watching said he had the greatest sister in the world.  You said, "No, I have the greatest sister in the world?"

-While you and Kate were playing outside, "Kate come on.  We're going to save the word and things."

-"Girls just like flowers and boys like dinosaurs."

- While you were showing me your dance moves I asked where you learned them from.  You said, "No where.  Well, Jesus taught them to me, I guess."

-You want me to count to random numbers all of the time and get me to do addition problems for you all of the time (Mom, what's 5 + 10 +10 + 7 + 100 + 1 +10?)  I'll have you know, thanks to my 6th grade teacher who used to play those games with our class whenever we were waiting for something I can honestly say I'm pretty spot on with your little quizzes.

You're obsessed with good guys and bad guys.  You found Power Rangers on Netflix, and you've officially moved past Thomas the Train and Super Why to Superhero's and Ninja fighting (your words, not mine).

You had your spring program for preschool and you did awesome!  You guys sang a whole bunch of songs and you were one of 5 or 6 kids with a special speaking part.  You ended up getting to say it twice because they got out of order a little bit.  I'm very sad to say I didn't get any video of it.  I took a few 30 second clips, but I lost it all when I was trying to upload it to the computer (this was the second time it's happened, I'm wondering if the card I'm using has something wrong with it).  The good news was dad got to see almost all of it because I was using facetime on my phone with him, but no last videos!  Sorry -there's always next year.

You've done really great this year in tball.  So much that I'm pretty sure we're going to hold off a year before we start Kate playing.  Your attention span had more than doubled and you enjoy being there (instead of it being a fight last year) and you've actually gotten a little bit better at it too.  You've struggled with throwing the ball overhand (you opted for kind of a side pitch sort of throw) and somehow from last week and this week, you've seemed to figure it out.
