Friday, 27 July 2007

On Tuesday, Sarah went to Super Summer at our church. I have been trying to use VBS and Super Summer to prepare her, in a small way, for school. She has never really been away from me (or someone she knows well) for more than an hour or so. We never sent her to preschool and she hasn't even used the nursery at church that much, because of her asthma. She seems to have enjoyed Super Summer so far. Tuesday, they had a clown come and she painted Sarah's face. Sarah said she was a star clown.

Today, the kids and I went to the Hoover Library and saw the Imagination Movers. We have been the past two years and were excited to go again. The kids, and I will admit I did too, really enjoyed them!

Joshua has been trying to ride his bike again, this time with training wheels, and he seems to be getting it. This is the second day we have really worked with him on it and he loved it. It was so fun to see him riding, rather fast for him, down the road and hearing him saying, "WHEEEEEEE, YEE-HA!!"

I loved watching him have fun and to finally be figuring it out. One of the little guys here in the apartments, (who is going in first grade) started making fun of Joshua for still using training wheels since he is going into the second grade etc..... Joshua just told him, "people learn to ride bikes at their own pace." I was proud of him for his nice response. Abby tried to ride it some too. Hopefully by the end of the summer, he, and maybe she, will have bike riding down!

Josh didn't have school today so after he got up this afternoon, he took the kids swimming and they LOVED it. It has been a hot day today!! Here is a picture of Josh and Joshua from the other day, Josh was writing a paper and Joshua and the girls were playing dress up. Here is Joshua's outfit- not sure what he was trying to be- maybe some type of army man?!!
