Kaylen's Summer

Kaylen is two weeks into summer break and is enjoying it. When we're at home, she can be found here...

or here... Kaylen LOVES to read, and is reading at about 2nd grade level! We've been to the library each week - checking out 6 books each week. I think we're going to have to increase that number next week or get longer books. She's finished already, only 3 days after our visit, and is re-reading them now. Since Wednesday, she's read 2 Amelia Bedelia books, a Fluffy book, a Pinky & Rex book, and two nonfiction books - one about Pumpkins and one about whales - along with a few books from home and probably several at daycare. And I do make her tell me about them, so I make sure she comprehends them - and she usually knows them word-for-word! I so proud of her reading!


She's playing T-ball again this summer, so that's been fun to watch. She is a good hitter, but not so good at throwing. If she pays attention she does OK at fielding and running the bases - if she remembers that she's supposed to step on each base. They actually started in early May, and it was very cold and windy the first week and not much warmer the next. Then they were off for Memorial Day Weekend, and then we missed game 3also. Last week's got postponed because of rain - they tacked an extra week onto the end of the season. Maybe it'll be warm and dry tomorrow for us...

Kaylen's practicing riding her bike without trainingwheels. It's tough and she gets frustrated easily, but she's progressing a little bit.









We went to the zoo with visiting friends a couple weekends ago. It was perfect weather - warm, but not too hot.
