brief update

Saben:

Has his first loose tooth, bottom front left. We noticed it about 3 weeks after his sixth birthday.

SIXTH!!!!

Is reading like crazy. He can easily read those level two readers these days. It was slow at first, but once it clicked in his brain, he just took off.

Is turning into a pest like his daddy. He is always poking, hitting, & trying to play little jokes on me. I always say "why don't you try doing the dishes for attention instead?" just like I used to tell Kyle.

Wants to play the drums

Is still obsessed with a capital "O" with star wars and legos.

Loves collecting bugs outside

Is quite nervous about his choir concert tomorrow night. It is so cute.

Annika

Just graduated from her first year in preschool.

Has her first dance recital in three weeks. She LOVES dance class. We will have to wait and see whether she actually manages to dance in the recital.....

Loves to help me cook dinner. I need to do better at finding her jobs.

Has already ridden saben's big race bike. She got a flat on her little 12" beginner bike, so Kyle took her out on the big one. She prefers the handbrakes and got pretty good at it, but it scares mommy to death when she gets going fast, so she got the 12" bike fixed.

Still adores her buddy Riley, but has managed to make a couple other good friends this year too.

Still throws fits a lot for no apparent reason. : )

Loves to sing to herself and make songs up.
