Today, the 4th graders at Woodward Academy did their yearly presentation of the Parade of States. There are 134 4th graders, and they began working on this project in February. Each child is given either a state or a person, and they have to dress similar to him/her and write a short speech/summary about him/her. Julia was Georgia O'Keefe. Here is a clip from her speech.

Swimming lessons!
April 14-May 14, I did a "Water Babies" class with Alex. Today, he started taking swimming lessons all by himself (I have to sit back and watch). He cried some, but by the end of the lesson (and a few pieces of candy later), he had settled down. He was kicking in the water, blowing bubbles, and eventually put his eyes in the water--big step for him! Did I mention he HATES going under the water? It's going to be a long summer full of lessons!!! :-)

No more brace face!!
After much pain and agony, Julia finally got her braces off today!!! We are all happy! She chewed gum all the way to school.
Alex got his first medal!
Alex has been taking soccer lessons at his school. The program, Soccer Shots, ended for the school year. They gave out medals and certificates. Alex was so proud of his!!
