Concert

Haidyn had to put on her pretty "princess" dress tonight and told me to sit down for a concert. This was my show. I may be biased..... but I LOVED it! :)

Yes, yes, I know... I've been slacking quite a bit with this blog. Haidyn is doing fantastic. She seems very excited about being a big sister. She's even ok with having a brother now. Although I did just find out that she's telling Jen that she's going to have a sister after her brother comes. Hmmmm.

She'll start preschool in the fall at St. Johns. We're all excited about that. I think it will be good for her to be around other kids and be exposed to some different things. And Haidyn loves her teacher and the fact they have a play kitchen in the room. :)

She still amazes us every day. She's so smart. There's no pulling a fast one on her, she figures it out. She's far smarter than me and her father. Which is scary, but I love the way she thinks. She's very logical and comes up with answers and/or questions that a three year old shouldn't.

We're taking a break from classes for the month. Gymnastics is on hold for awhile, not sure when we'll go back to that. Her next swim class starts July 19th. I think we'll put her in dance in the fall. She just loves to dance! We've asked her several times if she wants to take gymnastics again or a dance class and she always answers dance. I think we'll try it while I'm on maternity leave. Maybe we can squeeze a class in during the day so we're not jam packed with night classes. There's a dance academy in downtown Elgin that looks promising. They have a "creative movement's" class for her age group. It sounds perfect!

Our Haidybel is still very strong willed, but I think both Mike and I have done pretty good at adjusting to it. We've figured out that there are a lot of things we just have to drop and let go, but some things are important and we have to stand our ground. No matter how ugly it gets. I think Haidyn has realized that too. She still has her meltdowns occasionaly, but she's realized we're not going to give in. I thought girls weren't suppose to be difficult until they were teenagers?? I think God just needed to teach me patience. Thank you. I've learned my lesson. Now can it be easy??

I guess it's time to get a new picture on here seeing as how it's summer time now. :) Here's our little girl roller skating for the first time. She did really well! No falls or anything!
