Tomorrow we begin the second semester. There are no classes on campus this week and we will find out this week whether or not Julia will get into the next set of classes. She has decided not to continue hip hop, PE or computers for the rest of the school year. Instead, we signed up for music appreciation, Spanish, and drawing (she will still be in her Kindergarten class too). I'm not sure if they will let her into drawing or not since it is a 1st - 3rd grade class, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. If they don't let her then we can always pick up the art curriculum that we began at the beginning of the school year (We got away from it because she wouldn't do as the lesson said to do; instead she would draw or make her own thing.)
Big news in our house: Julia and I will begin piano lessons soon. And that also means that we now have a new piano in our house! All four of us are really having a good time with it (and so far the kids have been very respectful of it and following the new "piano rules"). Julia will begin a children's group piano lesson in a couple of weeks. My lessons will probably begin in March. Karley just began a new session of Kindermusik. She is enjoying that immensely.
One "funny" note before I go: Last Friday Julia was having a tough time focusing and getting work done at home. I gave her several time outs because she wouldn't do anything and also because she began to get mouthy with me. I told her that she would stay in her room as long as it took until she was ready to be both respectful to me and to do her work. She replied with "its too hard to do both!"
