The toy in her hand is the mallet to her xylaphone. She likes the xylaphone as much as any other toy, but she loves this mallet. If we could buy extra mallets, I would keep them hanging around like burp cloths.
OH I know -- all those sweet rolls!! Also, it is sooo funny how they latch on to something. Brennan loved the old tupperware yellow plastic spoon. She carried that thing all around.
We were so happy to have Maw Maw come visit! The kids had a chance to show off gymnastics moves, reading capabilities, singing songs, talking about superheroes and favorite YouTube videos and generally immersed her in their world. I know it was loud from both upsets and joyful laughter as well as all around chaotic! These two cuties love to be together! Olivia wasn't so sure about anybody new, so I didn't get a picture of her with Maw Maw. She had the chance to go to kindergarten awards and SG's last gymnastics class. The Graves in Sarah Graves' name is after her (and my Maw Maw Graves) and I feel so blessed they have a chance to know each other.
The reading series that kindergarten and first grade use is called Superkids! There are characters associated with different phonics sounds and they work through them all over the course of the year and to mark having met all of the superkids they have a special day to dress up like their favorite one! Sarah Graves chose Etta Betta, which thank goodness is a girl who wears a green shirt, blue bow, glasses, and a khaki skirt! Something we could handle.
The day after school let out we were headed to the beach! Loaded up and ready to go! Can you say, "ROAD TRIP!" First off we headed to the pool! Then, we were ready to get down in the sand!
