Lily has been working a ton with the kids lately. Not only working on music practice with the three oldest, but working on reading and other academics with the two youngest. Here is Ammon practicing his reading:
I worked very hard to get my work into a good spot in time to take Mary, Ammon and Lydia to their dance recital. Clarissa didn’t go because we lost her dress. Also, Mary was so sad because her dance number was later than we thought so it made her super late for a birthday party she wanted to go to. I asked her teacher about skipping and the teacher said, “I can’t force you to stay, but it would ruin the dance if she’s not there.” I’m so proud of Mary for being a team player and sticking it through. She was still able to make a showing at the birthday party for 30 minutes and her attitude really turned around even before she went to the party after her initial frustration.
