I think gymnastics is going to be her "thing" at least for now. Dance didn't work into our schedule this year but she's been LOVING her new gymnastics program. She started a few weeks after school started and has already been moved up to Level 2! She just turned 5 and was the youngest by far in her Level 1 class. 5 year olds can start in the younger program or in the Level 1 program. I thought for sure her attention span would keep her in Level 1 longer, but her teacher came and talked to me on Monday and said she's ready to move up! I can't tell you enough how much she loves it. I'm glad she's found something that she can enjoy outside of school.
These are pictures from her in the Level 1 class.
Riley has found two things to participate in outside of school as well. He does Bricks4Kidz with some of his buddies. It's an hour long program run by Bricks3Kidz that takes place at the school. This is a LEGO maniacs dream! They build all types of structures from LEGOS. They are following an Environment/Weather related theme for the fall. They learn about their topic and what they build has to do with that topic. He loves it.
Riley has also rejoined Cub Scouts. We thought we had take early retirement when we had to quit due to therapy while in Utah, but he's been talked into doing it again. His buddy (his 4th grade teacher's son) is in his den and his dad is also a den leader assistant. So far it has been pretty laid back (They wear tee shirts and flip flops to meetings!) which has been nice. He has LEGOS and Scouts on the same night and homework in 4th grade is off the hook! But right now he's happy and we've all discussed that homework comes first and Scouts is last on the list. Andy's not thrilled about scouts because he's busy enough as it is, but sometimes being a Dad means doing stuff with your kid because it's meaningful to your son. If anyone wants to buy some Boy Scout popcorn, let us know! We are your connection! ;)
Here is Riley and his good buddy at our favorite Friday night hang out.
