It was our 3rd swim meet. Isabel was so excited and she has improved so much. She did awesome in Freestyle, she came in 1st. Breaststroke and Backstroke she did great but didn't win. That was OK because she swam her butt off and gave them good competition. Best part was she did not get upset she knew it was OK not to win as long as she had fun and tried her best!! Does she not look ready for some fierce competition???? Her first year wanting to dive off the block not the wall!!!
This year instead of just sitting on Tulip Ave. watching we got to walk in the parade the Daisy Troop. Isabel was looking forward to this for a while now and we had such beautiful weather days the last few days, then 5am THUNDER. All of a sudden the rain came and 2 hours later came tears from a little girl worried about the parade. Turned out to be HOT, no rain and a much longer walk then I expected but we did it and it was fun!!
Today was the Hance Family Foundation walk. This was the 2nd year, last year we missed the walk so Isabel was so excited to do it this year. We went as a group with dance, the girls looked adorable! Girls had a great time there was a great turn out and it was so nice to see all of the people in Floral Park come together.
Day in the city (early early day) for the Revlon walk. Took Joseph this year it was fun. Little cold so we walked ahead but turned out great so we had enough time to head to the zoo. Back at the house the kids got to go on the garage roof, I was a little impressed with Isabel she is usually a whimp with these things but she loved going up there.
Amanda came to babysit and was left in charge of coloring eggs. Isabel thinks this is great but goes through them so fast and since we don't eat them, really, how many can we make? She had fun as usual. Thanks Amanda.
Isabel was talking and talking as usual, we were trying to get ready for swimming and she just kept talking. I said "Isabel please just stop talking for 2 minutes and get your bathing suit on" her answer "you know mom I was just trying to communicatewith you" well she showed me... haha Love it when she likes to use new words!
First kindergarten school trip to Queens college. Can you tell she is excited! They saw a puppet show "Caps for Sale" and "Three Billy Goats Gruff" they were books that they have been reading in school, very cute stories. I was allowed to go as chaperon for the first trip I was a little excited my self. I think she was more excited to be on the bus then the actual trip. The kids were all really good I was glad I got a chance to go.
