Lincoln is a swimmer!

The boys just finished their first swimming class!  Lincoln is a confident swimmer.  He even jumped off Chau & Vinh's diving board into 11 ft. and swam all the way to the other side of the pool!  We are so proud of him!

Lincoln lost his 1st bottom tooth!

He went downstairs this morning and felt his tooth and out it came!  It didn't hurt and barely bled.  Good thing he didn't swallow it during breakfast at school. :). 

Tooth number 3 is still so exciting!!!

Mother's Day

I was excited to receive Lincoln's school made Mother's Day present and he was excited to give it to me. :). He drew a picture of me and wrote a letter to me on the back.  He also answered some questions about me on a "purse".  He likes to go swimming with me, appreciates that I take him to the park and pack lunch for him.  He likes my hugs and kisses.  Love it!!

Milestone: Lincoln is riding a bike!!!

It's a good Friday!

Friday morning reader

I signed up to read and Lincoln picked out Guess How Much I Love You.  We checked out the DVD several weeks ago so o guess it's fresh on his mind.  He told the class that he chose the book because, "I love my mommy."  I shared with the class that the book is tattered because we've had it since Lincoln was inside my belly and we enjoy reading it to both kids.

Lincoln's first time wearing his new Morrocan nights Poe Auction t shirt (wearable on Fridays).

100th day of school!

We had a class play date after school at chick-fil-a.  We also invited Our carpool friends:  the Doneker and Meridia families.

Lincoln has been eyeing chocolate cookie "cakes".  He's always liked green but blue is starting to be his preferred color.

Rory always gives the nicest hugs.  Lincoln cutting his "cake".

Thank you friends for coming!

Viet Ngu promotion

Last weekend was our first time back at Viet Ngu since the Christmas break and we haven't been as diligent with completing the homework/practicing at home.  Co Trang said gave a review sheet for his test- to determine next year's placement.  We completed about a 4-5 words/day and I realized that he wasn't spelling words as fluently as he did last year, talk about out of practice.  (Plus, his birthday dinner was last night and we stayed up playing poker until 2!)  So I didn't know how he was going to do, but at pick up, Caitlyn told me that he missed only 1!  Amazing.  Good job Lincoln!  He earned a marble  :)



The other day Carter said, b-i-sach-bi'.  It was so cute.  He was listening when Lincoln practiced and can now repeat it on his own.
