It has been fun watching Emily finish up preschool and head to kindergarten summer school. We took her to her first Open House and I think I was as nervous as she was. I couldn't wait to see her after her first day! It was also nice to watch her graduate from Walnut Street Day School. She is growing so much, but I'm not sure I am ready to share a school with her!
I started 7 days of summer school at EEE. The first week was a class on kites and origami. I had a blast making and flying the kites, and learned origami on my own. I had a perspectives in art class for 2 days the next week and learned so much! We also had a field trip to a museum and went swimming twice. Then I started the Fine Arts Explorers program. Like last year, I didn't want to leave EEE and was nervous, but have had a blast since I started!
I have been keeping busy with my friends. Lila slept over once, and I had a playdate at her house after school another day. We walked around her neighborhood and ate ice cream. I had a sleepover at Madelyn's, and I went to Ella's for a play date. We attempted multiple play dates with Keri, but her family was busy. I got super disappointed each time it happened, but she is at the Fine Arts program, so I am able to hang out with her now. I also went to Sofia's birthday party at Sky Zone. It was so good to see her!
Our family did several fun things together this month. We celebrated Dad's birthday at Nana Arden's house, and went to Lisa's for BBQ on Memorial Day, and celebrated Camille's birthday. We went to Art in the Park and Emily and I got a caricature drawn of us which was a lot of fun. It also renewed my interest in elephants! We volunteered at the Food Bank and packaged pasta. I really enjoyed it and want to do it again! We went to Bonkers as well and I had a lot of fun playing with Emily. I went to the first and last of Emily's swimming lessons, but stayed home reading for the rest of them. I am now into the Twilight books. Team Edward all the way!
We had lots of rain and flooding this month, and even had to go downstairs during a tornado warning after we went to bed! Emily, Mom and I played outside with water toys at the end of the school year when it was hot.
I went to the orthodontist because my retainer wasn't fitting anymore. He said I probably don't need it anymore and that my mouth is keeping the right shape. I only have one more tooth to lose and will probably be ready for my second set of braces in the next 6 months or so! I also got about 2 inches cut off my hair because it was damaged from having mom french braid it all the time.
I have kept myself busy with volleyball and piano lessons as well. I am in my second book in piano and Mrs. Renwick said I am really doing well. I have had several open gyms for volleyball with both Club CoMo and Missouri Juniors. I will try out for both teams in July. I am really nervous, but my last open gym went great!
