Victoria had ballet/tap class this morning. She looks so adorable in her little leotard and tights. I can't wait to see her recital in December.
After dance class, the kids and I visited Yellowjacket park where I met my visiting teachers and the kids played. They love that park. It's great because it's enclosed and there are so many things to do for the span of ages between the 3 children. Vivian was fun and terrifying to watch as she dared to climb and play on the parts of the park that were clearly meant for older children. She would determine to climb up oversized ladders and jump over large gaps onto playthings. It was frightening and yet my heart swelled with pride to watch her make a decision and follow through. She is a force to reckon with.
For workbook time today, Clark learned how to regroup when subtracting double digits. I was amazed at how quickly he understood how to do it. And all in one lesson! There were some big numbers to work with and he did most of it in his head. That little boy continues to impress me with his ability to work out math in his head. A talent that I do not naturally possess. He has so much potential to do great things.
Today was the last soccer practice for the fall '15 season. This is Clark's second season of soccer and he's beginning to show some real improvement. I hope he will continue playing the game for a while. He has some potential to do well, especially on the defensive side and as goal keeper.
Vivian always has funny things to say but her newest vivianism is to add the word goodness to emphasize her sentence. For example:
Me: Vivian please put the brush away.
Vivian: (in a displeased voice) O-KAY! GOODNESS!
She is full of spice and keeps me on my toes. I love the way she adds so much spunk to our family.
Clark said the sweetest thing to me today. He said he was sorry that I had to work so hard (being pregnant) for Claire. He is incredibly aware of others, especially for a 6 year old boy. I'm so impressed that he came to the conclusion that it was a lot of work for me to be pregnant with Claire only to lose her in this life. He is one of the sweetest and kindest people on this earth. I do love him fiercely.
Victoria has really flourished into a little girl as of late. Gone are the days of her toddlerhood. She's lost most of her baby fat and her face has become longer and leaner. She's looking so old! And she's asking how she can help me, doing things (like chores or noticing a need to be filled) without my asking, and helping Vivian with things she can't do on her own. Victoria is extremely excited to meet Baby Sister in December. She will be such a big help when Baby Girl is born.
I have been blessed with such lovely children. I do hope they will always know how much I adore them.
