Quick update on everyone:
Logan took a couple tests in May and as a result is skipping two years of math. I am proud of him and terrified for us both. He likes to work out and is supposed to be training for a 100 mile Appalachian Trail hike he is going on this summer.
Madi will be playing the oboe next year in band. She loves to take pictures and she is getting pretty good at editing them. She is beginning to play the piano in her spare time, without me nagging her. She is my artistic, creative child.
Grant is officially starting piano this summer. I have been teaching him lessons off and on, but he's ready for some consistency. He and Madi both have a talent for music. (Logan takes piano as well, and is doing well, but it is a little harder for him, which is ok--he needs to know what it's like to have to work for something because everything else comes so easily to him.)
Ammon and I are working hard on reading this summer. The first little bit is almost as frustrating as potty-training. He guesses more at the words than my other kids did. He's going to get it, though. He is probably our most athletic child--another thing I can't really help them with.
Auggie is still content to crawl, although he has started to do the crab walk and will walk on his knees. He has become a fantastic sleeper, and I'm greatful. I'm pretty sure he says, "yes," "this," "that," "mom," and "da." He can shake his head. I have no idea how intentional any of it is. He loves vegetables (especially beans, peas, broccoli, tomatoes, and corn) and all fruits. He usually likes meats and cheeses. He does not like to eat pasta or breads. I suppose that is healthy. He loves to play balls and roll cars. He can point to his belly-button and nose and spits when you ask him where his tongue is. He has 8 teeth....and I'm pretty sure right now he is getting 8 more all at the same time!
