Nico was brave and happy at his first swim lesson. The teacher helped him lie on his back in the water, blow bubbles and put his face under water, and paddle around the pool. We are looking forward to the next lesson.
End of school
First Grade Fun:
The last week of school was full of fun, including field day, a field trip to the bowling alley and an end of year party with a pinata and water gun fight.

Roommates
I knew this day was coming. The trundle bed hasn't been used in Maya's room. The other night after we put the kids to bed, though, Nico sneaked in and went to sleep in Maya's bed. So the next night we pulled out the trundle for this...
Nico turns 4!
Nico has been running around with lots of toys, pretending they are guns. A stuffed puppy works. Or a hammer... Or a Barbie doll. So it wasn't hard to figure out what would be a good birthday present.
He also loves superheros, like most little boys, the Incredible Hulk being his favorite. The Hulk does not wear a shirt, so neither does Nico most of the time.

Butterfly Field Trip
I got to go with Maya's first grade class to the Museum of Natural Science on December 13th. We saw an IMAX about the migration of Monarch butterflies. It was funny when the movie began and 90% of the kids stood up to grab the butterflies! After the movie we went to see the bugs in cases and then on to the big room where the butterflies can come land on you.
I learned the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis. There were many really pretty moths as well as butterflies! Maya has made some good friends this year.

Thanksgiving Trip to Arizona
The Saturday before Thanksgiving, the kids and I flew to Phoenix. My brother, Nathan, flew into town that week too. It had been a long time since we were together. We had a nice time together celebrating Thanksgiving, having an early mini-Christmas and enjoying sunshine!
Maya got several Lego Friends sets and we spent hours putting them together. The kids made dirt roads and played with trucks and cows in the yard. I got to see my friend, Rhiannon, for an afternoon. It had been years since we were together.
