1st (2nd and 3rd!)

I have been meaning to blog, but I keep forgetting the camera upstairs so I decided to just do the post and promise you pics to follow :) We have had several exciting things happening lately. Here is a sample of what we have been up to:
Sitota was in her first school performance. It was a musical called "Got Talent?" that her 2nd grade class wrote themselves. It was so cute watching her dance, sing and show off her jump roping. She also participated in several events at the campground and kept coming up a winner: 3rd place in grape spitting, 2nd place in bug races and the 50s costume contest, and 1st place in jump roping. She is excited and sad that school is ending tomorrow. She loves going to school so much and loves learning. I keep reminding her that she will get to go to summer school in a few weeks(I think she is the only kid excited about summer school!).She is also Very interested in taking dance lessons, so I think that she will be trying it out this summer (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa T's birthday gift!)
Delson is really coming along with his English and also has been working on learning his colors. We are trying to teach him how to answer basic questions people ask, such as: What is your name? How old are you? How are you?. He also took part in the events at the campground and took 1st place in the bug races with the Big black ant he caught. He was so proud of the bug catching kit he won...I know I am excited about that prize too (insert sarcasm)!
Micah has been working on potty training and is doing SOOOO good. I can not believe how determined he is. He went a week with no accidents in his pull-ups, so he was able to go and pick out his own big boy underpants. He was SO proud to wear underpants just like Delson and has been doing very well. He does have a Big problem keeping his shorts up now that he has no diaper, but that is a small price to pay for no more diapers! He also rode his big boy bike (with training wheels) for the first time last week. He needs help getting started, but after that look out! He is a man on a mission.
We have been having a fun time as a family and we are looking forward to a fun summer! Melissa
