Baseball, Gymnastics, and a music class.

Spring baseball.  Where it's cold, and rainy, and sunny, and hot, and windy.  It's always windy.  It's our third year playing with Grandpa Lafeen out in Herriman, and he did the old bait and switch on us.  You were lucky enough to be the Red Sox for the first 2 years, and this year... you're the Rockies!  We've had talks about how you can still like the Red Sox, even though you're a little Rockie, and I think you get it!

Your attention span has definitely improved, and your batting is pretty good too.  It's coach pitch this year, and you do pretty good at hitting the pitches.  Once in a while we have to pull the T out, but not often.  Catching the ball is a different story, but you'll get there!

I know I mentioned gymnastics before, but I have more photo's.  I'm not sure how to report your progress here.  You're pretty dang flexible and can jump and hang on anything and everything.  Now, it's just a little more professional and we're putting names to all of the stuff you've already done.  I'd like to continue it, and we've started the second session for you and Kate, but we'll have to see if it will work for us once school starts again.  



We also went to a music class today that a neighbor is starting in the fall.  I LOVED it!  I've been thinking about piano lessons this year, and figured that you wouldn't be quite ready this year, and hopefully I could find you a teacher in first grade.  This program (let's play music) is a three year curriculum, and you don't even start the piano until the 2nd year, but you learn tone, counting/beats, harmony, chord progression, and solfeggio hand signs, all while being super active and 'playing'.  I'm hoping to start you in it this fall too.
