Almost May

Apparently life got busy the last few weeks.  Or at least I did!  Keep falling asleep with the girls because I'm so tired.  Has been an awesome time with the girls at the end of April.

Julia is growing by leaps and bounds in her talking.  She has much to say a lot of the time.  At dinner tonight, she said "I want to talk!" when she had enough of Jeremy talking and was ready to be heard by all of us.  She thinks she is very funny (which she is) and laughs at herself a lot after she says something funny.  Always has a lot of spunk and a gleam in her eye.

Julia is now in Miss Christian's class at school.  Has been quite the adjustment.  Both her and Ariana are working on not pinching, biting or hitting each other.  Her teacher said that she is a very strong and very tough little girl.  That she has put up with a lot and doesn't back down.  Stands up for herself.  I definitely like that!  She has had some nightmares in the past week where she will whimper in her sleep and I'll rub her back and calm her only to have her say "Riley pinching me!  I don't want Riley to pinch me."  Dreaming about what she is experiencing at school with Riley being the challenging girl instead of the girl in class.

She is working through all of it and things are on their way to getting better which is good.

Riley is excelling at school.  She is on a level 14/16 in reading.  At the beginning of first grade, teachers are thrilled if they are on a level 6 in reading.  So she is highly advanced.  Her math is also going excellent.

Riley had her first ride on a school bus yesterday when they went to the zoo.  She didn't say much about the field trip except to say it was fun and she is tired.  Her birthday party is a week from Saturday and she couldn't be more excited about it!!
