Shea update

Shea at 6 1/2 is delightful. He's getting so big, he can be reasoned with and talked to like a big kid. It's so fun to have "real" conversations with him. And as much as I hate that my kids just keep getting bigger and bigger - it's nice too, in lots of ways, Shea is such a great helper! He's my trash taker outer (which he loves. yay!) our weed puller (which he does not love. :-) And he's the best baby helper ever!

He's getting to be a really good reader and it makes him feel so accomplished. He's taking piano lessons and loves that he can play a few easy recognizable songs. And his biggest news - he's in French Immersion 1st grade. So he's learning French too. I'm so proud of him and how kind, sweet and loving he is.

For his last birthday he got this snap circuit, electricity set (thanks Heidi for the recommendation. It is awesome!) He and Chris love to sit down together and figure out how to make these awesome little electrical things. A fan, a flashlight, an alarm clock!

Shea and Ms. Peral:
Shea's class danced the Charleston at the end of school Dance Festival. They drew moustaches on the boys and put them in suspenders. Can you tell how excited Shea was about that? (Although he's since decided that he wants a pair of suspenders. Turns out they were fun to play with.)
