This week has been filled with happy news andsome sad news. I have decided to enroll Brooklyn into preschool. The teacher said that they aren't accepting anymore applications until September so we will just have to wait until then.
I thought that I could teach brook at home but she seems to lose interest very easily. The other day she asked me if she could practice her name. I gave her the paper and pencil and let her go to town. Three minutes later she came up to me to show me her progress. She had the letters Broo written down. I asked her why she didn't finish her name and Brook said "because its too longest." I'm getting a little nervous that I can't keep her interested long enough for her to do anything all the way through. She knows how to write her name. She is very smart. I just can't get her to apply herself. I'm hoping a classroom setting with other kids will motivate her to learn more.
I had to post a picture of Brook dancing to her Dora DVD. She is so hilarious sometimes. She certainly has her own cute little personality. I love walking into a room to find the kids playing so well together. It just makes my day.
Last week Jer and I bought the kids a beta fish that we named Gary. They were so excited! Mason called it a wishy. After about a week the bowl started to get all dirty so I decided to clean it out. Jeremiah told me to make sure and only pour out 2/3 of the water out. Me, being the miss know it all that I am decided to clean out the whole thing. After all, wouldn't the fish like a completely clean bowl? That night I noticed Gary wasn't swimming anymore. Man!!!
Jer said that I should have headed my husband's council. :(
Poor Brooky. I sat her down when she noticed that Gary was gone. I told her that he died and his spirit went up to heaven. She said "no it didn't! He went down the toilet." I couldn't help laughing. Thank goodness for resilient kids huh.

Sorry to hear about Gary that is very sad. Next question what in the heck is brooklyn wearing a pink shirt with orange pants?
Hailee has loved preschool this year. I've been amazed at how much she has learned. At the beginning of the year they test the kids using a "Dial-3" test. Hailee scored a 34 then. They tested them again a few weeks ago and she scored 58, they recommend them for kindergarten when they score 60. She still has another year before kindergarten so she will be more than ready.
