The kids are doing great! Both Maddie and Nathan learned to ride a bike this summer without training wheels. Maddie was ready and we taught her in the backyard, Nathan saw what was going on and he proclaimed that he could do that as well. So, Tucker gave him a push and he hasn't stopped since! Both of them picked this task up fairly quickly. Nathan also learned how to swim without floaties this summer and Maddie perfected her swimming and learned to dive and do lots of tricks off the diving board! I am very proud to have both kids swimming and loving the water, as well as bike riding! We are back into playing soccer this fall and the kids really have improved since the spring. Nathan has done a complete 180 and developing some good footwork. Maddie is still the leading scorer on our team and she loves it!
Maddie is doing well in school. She had her first report card a few weeks ago, all A's and S's! We are very proud of her with her spelling, reading, and reading comprehension. She is a pretty quick learner. Nathan is learning a few sight words at school - he knew 11 out of 20 one day when his teacher quizzed him. We were very excited about that! However, if we could just get him to recognize his letters!! We practice off and on and Maddie has been working with him as well (I don't think she is going to be a teacher when she grows up - no patience!). Nathan may be the only child that knows how to read without knowing his letters!There are several events over the past few months that I am excited to post about. Hopefully, I will be able to work on that tomorrow after Nathan and I go grocery shopping. All is well here, just busy!
