Milestones

Well, this year starts anew and things are changing entirely too fast for me. CJ is now in CTR 6 and Avary started Sunbeams. She was so excited to go to primary with CJ. CJ didn't do real well at first, but then warmed up. She wanted to sit with Avary in Sharing Time. Our little Sunbeam:

After church she said the cutest thing to my mom. My mom has been her nursery leader for six months now and when we were walking out to the car Avary said, "Geewah!!! There you are! I thought you were hiding!" She did real well in her class and at the end of the day, CJ did too. CJ got the coolest thing. I guess they are starting it this year, but she got a CTR ring AND a CTR wrist band. I like that idea a lot. The rings turn your finger green.

Another milestone that has happened this year, so far, is that CJ can now tie her own shoes. It took two lessons and she had it down:

She does this weird thing with her tongue when she ties her shoes:

He teacher was so happy that she learned over the break, she calls her "Shoe Tie-ger". She really loves to tie her own shoes now:

For Christmas the girls got some new books. They are simple enough that CJ can learn how to read them. The first day back at school she came home with a book to practice. To make a long story short, CJ is reading now and is doing really well.

She really enjoys reading. She does really well, and we are so proud of her.

Avary and CJ, mostly Avary, have been saying the funniest things lately and I am going to start keeping a little "Kids say the Darndest things" tab on our blog. I will probably update it everyday, Avary is on a roll, but remember to stop by and see what kind of crazy things my girls come up with.
