I gotta give this girl credit. She’s always game for something new. This past weekend we added tap class(!) to her repertoire. And after soccer, she decided to slide down the climbing rope instead of the fire pole, because what else is there to do at the playground? We even had to have our stair railing reinforced to continue supporting her American Ninja Warrior training. I used to think we might wear her out, but are we conditioning her to never get tired?

The marble maze continues to amaze.

The Frozen obsession continues. All Elsa all the time to be specific. Meryl wears blue everything and is growing out her hair so that she can braid it like Elsa’s hair. Humorously, Grandpa proved to be the last person on the planet who hasn’t heard of Frozen…and when he asked Meryl to tell him what Anna and Elsa do in the movie, Holmes blurted out, “singing!” Yep, we can’t ‘Let It Go.’

I think everything fell on the floor and we could have made several batches otherwise. But! We made cookies. It’s a combat sport, obstacle course, and a stress test all wrapped into one bowl of chocolate chip happiness.

Though, somehow they became Mom and Dad horses while crawling into the kitchen. Talk about a growth spurt!

After a long period of contemplating the jump, she did it! Multiple times. And then she asked me to jump. I did. And then we got busted by the lifeguard we see every week (oops!), because we caused a scene and hadn’t properly learned how to jump off the block yet:) Sally’s on vacation right now and you better believe we have a lesson to learn when she gets back in the pool!

We have two more weeks of Family Swim until lessons resume…wish us luck with the diving block right there in plain sight:)

These kids keep climbing higher and higher right in front of our eyes. It’s amazing to see the confidence boost that happens merely weeks a part…growth boost too:)

Listening to Frozen with the speaker in her lap ended up not being the acoustic experience she really needed. Boom box style, yo!
