So overdue

Barely find time to post these days!!

Had a great March Break this year. I packed the week full of fun things to do, including swimming, skating, a Magic Show, indoor play centre. The girls didn't want to go back to school on Monday, no wonder!

Brennyn has an occupational therapist coming to her school this week (we've been on a waiting list for 18 months). She is there to access B's writing ability, etc. I personally feel that Brennyn's writing skills are on par with the rest of her class, but it's always good to have things checked out!!
We do have to work on her reading skills a bit, but she's still come a long way since last year!
It's hard for her sometimes, especially when she has a sister who reads at a grade 3 level at the start of grade 1 (and who also has a tendency to brag to her little sister about how great she can read, ah siblings).

Speaking of Avery, she has also come a long way with her socialization. She has a couple of little friends this year (considering she never said a word to any of the kids last year, this is amazing). These kids already call on the phone to speak to her (and they are only in grade 1). However, Avery still prefers to play with the boys. They play Minecraft apparently, or soccer at recess (her two favourite things).

March Break

I swear, every year the time passes so much faster. It's already March Break!
Anyway, my parents are arriving this morning to watch the girls for the weekend, while Blair and I hang out in the big city (Toronto). It's a win win for everyone. The girls love being spoiled by grandparents and I am planning on sleeping for two days (throw in a little touring, a lot of food,a lot of reading and even a little shopping). Blair is attending a Science Fiction convention, so he's very excited.
