Is it Spring Yet?

 Claire

Her class had a fun week celebrating Dr. Suess with a different theme each day to go along with different books. She had crazy socks, a hat day, crazy hair, wearing green, and wearing blue. There was also a 'Pop' party where guests were invited to pop in for some popcorn which made Shay very excited! They mostly colored the whole time and Claire introduced us to some of her friends, but we left all together so it was nice not having to wait for her to come out of the school. We've been keeping up with her homework at home and she knows all but 2 of her sight words and works on the computer a lot. She is gaining confidence in reading and now I pay attention to the way she talks because she still has some sounds that seem like baby talk. Her sentences form well, but her pronunciation is what her teacher says needs more work, but I don't know how to help. I started a new princess puzzle to distract myself for fast Sunday and Claire brought her princess puzzle out to do underneath but got distracted playing and I ended up finishing before her. Even when she asked for daddy's help I was too close to beat!

Shay

I feel like I just talked about this, but Shay had a birthday! She got an extra present in the mail that was a Frozen purse she can color and wash to recolor. Despite getting a bunch of new toys, she still asks to go to the toy store when we are driving home from the gym or after dropping Claire off at school. She can barely fit all her Frozen toys in the bag she has for them and I wish I had a better place for them to store their toys out of sight. The shelves I tried in their closet didn't work like I expected them to because they climbed on them and bent them. Maybe I will wait for our next housing arrangement to figure out the perfect situation for them to keep their toys in place. She is a little shy sometimes apparently because her primary teacher was trying to say hi to her today and she hid! I'm sure I'm just used to Claire's overly crazy reaction to attention and friendly nature though and Shay is the normal one.
