Karate Kid and Preschool 2

After asking Mommy for weeks, I finally convinced Mommy that I really wanted to take karate. Mommy's pretty sure that my Shifu was probably coming by the school every day reminding us how much we wanted to do karate (clearly), but whatever it was, it worked! I take classes once a week at school and then we try and go by the studio at least once during the week as well. Everyone's already really impressed by everything they've seen, from my memorization, dicipline, and ability to take direction.

Not sure if it's normal to get air while kicking, but I did!

Prepared to take a blow. It looks scary, but I love it and crack up every time

In other school updates, after some drama (not worth mentioning here), I moved up to the Preschool 2 class at the end of June. It's a full-year curriculum, so it's the same class I'll be with for the next year until I start Pre-K.

Ready for my first day

July 4th presentation at school

Lots more pics in our June album!

Welcome, Summer!

With June here, we're definitely spending lots of time outdoors enjoying the awesome weather. From watching a movie at the Frisco ballpark, doing water fun at our neighborhood get togethers, or just swimming at the pool, we always have a grand time!

Water fun at the Shops

Waterslide! I called it the "river"

Wings at the pool. Easy to wash!

Throw your hands in the air like you just don't care!

You know with it only being June there will be lots more water pictures coming up, but for now you can see more June fun in our monthly album.

Lil Sluggers and Cuties Splash Fun

I started Lil Sluggers baseball with some of my friends from my playgroup. I really like my coach, "Josh Coach", and I'm having a ton of fun.

My playgroup also headed to The Fields to do some splashing in the sun.

First Dance Recital

After months of practice, dress rehearsals, and pictures, it was finally time for my dance recital! I did AWESOME. I danced, I twirled, I pretended to fall down. All in all, I had a wonderful time and love dance.
