Georgi and Reagan have settled into the childcare routine. We never thought we'd be the ones to have kids in daycare, but we do, and they love it. They come home singing songs and speaking Spanish. I listened as Reagan very seriously instructed Katie that rojo, verde and azul were colors of cars, too as Georgi belted out the ABC song and the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
I miss having my kids with me all the time and being able to pull them up on my lap whenever I want, but it's nice to see Tanner just a little less maxed out. He was able to attend a meeting about research opportunities, made some great connections with some professor and might be able to participate in the program over the summer.
So, we are adapting as we always do. Full-time work for me makes dinners a frightening adventure. Sometimes I come home to potatoes and broccoli. It's hard not to laugh when there isn't any type of main course like chicken or steak or hamburger or fish or pork or something. Then the slow, realization that something is missing, and he smiles and says, "Oh, and sausage!" Frozen sausage? And we all know the interesting concoctions he makes, so sometimes it's chicken marinara with raspberries and carrots. My stomach is having to adapt, too.
Kate is doing so well in school. Her beginning of the year testing showed that she read 60 words per minute with 100% comprehension and math was ready for 1st grade. Her end of year testing showed that she reads 126 words per minute with 100% comprehension and her math skills are on level with end of year second grade. It's good to see her improving and growing.
That's it for tidbits. 'Til next time!
