barrett: 73 months old


Barrett and Memaw put together a first-aid kit, and Barrett has taken that thing everywhere!  Even to his monthly pictures!  He tells me that if people get hurt, he can help, and it's just like this kid to be thinking of others.  And I love that he painted the top white and added the red cross, being as artsy as he is.


Barrett is loving his summer, even though Britton's activities have taken precedence over his down time.  He's happily joined her for swim meets, dance recital rehearsal, and goes with the flow, so long as he gets some time to draw pictures, play with his stuffed Pokemon characters, and dance to some You Tube Kidz Bop videos.  


Likes:  corn dogs, rainbow sherbet ice cream, Squirtle and Bulbasaur (Pokemon)

Dislikes:  most dinners I've made this week - this kid could live off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Goldfish crackers!

118 months old


School's out for summer!  And Britton is ready to start her summer vacation!  First up - swim team.  Britton has swim practice every morning for almost an hour, and just last Saturday had her first swim meet.  I must not have believed everyone who said I would be there for six hours, because guess what?  I was there for six hours. And Britton was in only two events, so it made for a looooonnnggg day.  Luckily, there's only 3 more meets left!


Britton also has her dance recital this Saturday!  She's doing three dance routines - ballet, tap, and jazz - and she modeled her costumes for us tonight.  They are stunning!


Likes:  sequins and feather dance costumes, Drumsticks ice cream cones

Dislikes:  getting into the pool when it's chilly in the morning
