We had a fabulous week full of changes in our house. First off the kids finished the school year. They both got wonderful report cards, although they both have issues with focus, but overall everything was positive. They are now officially 1st and 3rd graders! It's hard to believe, feels like only yesterday they were toddling around the house, now they are moving up so quickly in school, I am afraid to blink.
Tyler mastered riding his bike without training wheels this week. A few weeks ago he was starting to get the gist of it, but we've been busy and it's been rainy so he hasn't been practicing. The other day the sun came out and we headed outside. Within five minutes he was riding up and down the street on his own. Now he just has to work on stopping. Right now he just rides into the curb and bails, he does it well though, never gets a scratch. Juliana also started riding her big bike she got from Gigi and Lenny last summer. She was very happy to see that she's grown enough to touch her toes to the ground.
The other big news in our house is we got the kids a kitten for their end of school year gift. Our other animals were all here well before the kids, and although Miles the cat and Lucy the dog tolerate the kids, they aren't best friends with them. We also have Austin the cat who is terrified of them. So I went to the animal hospital my sister works at and adopted a six week old grey kitten and the kids named her Summer. Today is the first day of summer so it seemed appropriate. She is absolutely adorable and I can already see that she and the kids are going to be best buds, and after all, that's the best part of having a pet.
OMG that kitten is so cute.
