Grace insisted on getting her hair cut Monday night. We were taking the boys to SuperCuts and Grace kept asking me over and over “Can I get my hair cut too??” She was SO excited about it. Well, I’m not about to actually CUT her hair, because I just love how long it is (this is from St. Patrick’s Day—thanks for the picture Lyndsey!):
But her bangs were in need of trimming up, so I asked the girl at SuperCuts to at least do that. Grace was JUST thrilled. At least until she saw the scissors coming at her face. She didn’t freak out or anything (not like the boys when they were younger--boy, talk about DRAMA!!), but you could tell she was maybe rethinking the whole thing.
But she did fine and was just so excited about the fact that she'd gotten a real haircut. When she was freed from the chair, she immediately ran to Mike and said "Look at ME Daddy! I got my hair cut too!!" It's the little things that make us girls happy, you know?
Jonathan has been busy learning Spanish and how to play the recorder in school. Now that he's in 3rd grade, there are so many more options available to him. He is also in the 3rd/4th grade chorus, and they did a wonderful Christmas concert last December. Of course I got video, but from 2/3 of the way back in the auditorium, it was hard to see much. So I was really happy when I happened onto pictures from the concert on the school's website, and found this treasure:
Angelic, no? He was in a couple other shots with the group of kids around him as well. I guess the photographer liked their section.
Jon will be starting baseball again at the end of April. This will be year #4 on Yankees, and year #2 with Coach Jacobs, who was really great last year. In fact, most of the team will be the same as last year, because a lot of the kids really liked Coach Jacobs. And thus our Mondays and Wednesdays will be booked for 2 solid months.
As for Matthew, school is going well for him too. They just finished up their spring reading program, and Matthew is doing really well. He and Mike are currently big fans of the Captain Underpants series (to read together), but he's also getting really good at reading on his own. This spring and summer, Matt will be playing soccer with the local soccer club. He's very excited about this. He enjoyed playing T-ball last year, but he liked the recreational soccer program he did even more, and since the seasons run concurrently, we had to make him choose. He tells us he's going to do baseball again next year though! I don't have any current pictures of him doing soccer, but here's one of my faves from the rec program last summer:
I just really like his form there. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does in a real program where they play actual games.
That's all for now!
