The Karate Kid

Mouse had his first Karate lesson today. He did really well and advanced to the second level. He received his first stripe! Or as he would call it he graduated! Don't you love the serious look on his face!

NEWS

So after much discussing and researching, J and I have decided to homeschool Mouse for at LEAST the next year. We are giving it a one year trial run. I spent all of this morning at the schools unenrolling him and signing affidavits that I would be homeschooling him. He is really excited. We are going to sign him up for a homeschooling group that meets during the week to play with other kids, he will be learning Spanish and doing at least one extra activity, (karate, or swimming) Wish us luck over the next year, we are very excited to be doing this, we feel that Mouse will learn so much more from us than in a public school environment, and will have the added benefit of not being around all the kids that could possibly teach him things we DON'T want him to learn!!

JuJu's 1st day of ballet

JuJu started ballet/tap yesterday. She loved it! Unfortunately the parents sit behind a glass wall so I was not able to get pictures of her while she was learning. But took this picture right before she headed in. She was SO excited!!!!!
