Kindergarten Camp

Shay was accepted by lottery into a public choice school here in Rochester that has a year long schedule (45 days on 15 off, and a 6 week summer break) with full day kindergarten.  Her first "official" day is the last Friday in July.  Wow.  We are pumped she got into the school, but not as excited as Shay was to go to KinderCamp today.  She gets to spend 4 hours there, including eating lunch. The hope is to assess the kiddos and group them accordingly into different classes.  She picked out her favorite dress to wear and couldn't wait to see the "inside toys" (Brett brought her to the "outside toys", aka playground last week to check it out). 
She was even glad to go to the doctor and get her shots (okay, not too happy about the shots), but knew it was part of getting ready to go to school.  At her appointment we discovered she is a pretty average kiddo- 49% for height and 50% for weight.  Go Shay- she may be the tall one in the family!

We are very proud of her today!

Fun at Ms. Caryline's

Both girls have enjoyed the spring weather that is finally here.  Days have been filled with riding bikes and scooters, going on walks, playing at the park and picking flowers.  We have dropped off scooters, bikes and helmets at Ms. Caryline's so they can ride even  more.  Shay has biking down now and we like she is training wheel free.  Lyssa is taking off on her scooter (the old one, not the new, bigger one we got her for her 3rd birthday).  The pictures below are a few taken by Ms. Caryline over the last week.

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

The baby of the family turned 3!  She is full of spunk, has a huge vocabulary, is quite the cuddler and loves to laugh.  Each night her new phrase right before bed is- "I love you, I love you so much"- a great way to end the day. We have enjoyed watching her grow and her personality is shining through more each day.  .  Happy 3rd Birthday Alyssa!
