A month of firsts

August was a fun month of firsts for the kids. I had a personal goal that K would learn to ride a two wheeler this summer, but by the beginning of August when we hadn't even attempted I started to lose that goal. But it should surprise me that when K decided that he wanted to do it, it just took a lap or two around the "island" with Dad holding on before he took off and never looked back.



Then of course never to be outdone by her brother C decided she wanted to try too. The bike we had for her was too big so it didn't really work out, but a couple of weeks later we borrowed a little bike from some friends and she took off!!


Also this month C started ballet lessons.
 She and her friend M tried the summer session at the best ballet school in the city. She was immediately in her element, and loves her teacher so we are signing her up for the school year session.



After a poor attempt at soccer last summer, K has continued to say that he wanted to to karate. There wasn't a karate school around that we are interested in so he started Tae Kwon Do, and he is loving it. One of the very first things that the teacher told him was to never use your moves at home... I see him practice on his sister all the time.

L had a first this month too. He got his first tooth! No pictures of the tooth yet, just this cute one of the boy. :-)
