Ben the gymnast

Today was "show day" for Ben's gym class

They each got to perform their routines for the families

Up until this week, Ben has been in the Tuesday morning class which is a good mix of boys and girls. We had to switch him to the Monday afternoon class since he starts summer school tomorrow. We were surprised when we showed up today and it was a class full of girls. Ben didn't seem to notice that he was the only boy. In a couple of months he can go back to his regular class.

Bye bye crib

After almost 4.5 straight years of use, the crib has been taken down. Jack is now sleeping in his bed and doing quite well with it. 

Swim lessons

Last week Ben had his first swim lesson. 

Despite him being scared for weeks before the actual lesson, once he got there, he did great. 

Waiting for his teacher to take him into the pool

Practicing his kicking

Riding on the "magic carpet"

Ben will keep going to swim lesson twice a week for the summer and in 2 weeks, Jack starts his swim lessons,

He made it through the year

Ben's one year down and has a whole lot more to go in school

Last Wednesday, he had his last day of pre-school (for the school year)

He made it a whole year in the Chipmunk class

He had great teachers, a lot of friends, learned all kind of new things

and not once did he shed a tear at school, so unlike his mom and dad
