school report card

All is as expected, dandy. According to their testing, she's reading at an advanced fourth grade level. We know it's really much higher than that. In math, she's doing times four. Her teacher says she has good friends but is kind and open to everyone. I like that.

swim class report card

She's moving up a level! Rose's swim progress has been slow, starting with getting over her fear of trying. That's just fine with me. She's been at the same level all year, and she needed that time to improve her breathing and get stronger and more confident, but the teacher says she's ready now. In her current class they swim widths of the pool. In her new class, they swim lengths. That's the class Miriam's been in all this time, but I know when Rose starts, she's going to be exhausted.

tooth fairy report

Rose lost a tooth. She would be happy to tell you the whole story. It involved lots of wiggling and a shiny Sacagawea.

the fighting with her brother report

Things are going better on this front. It helps that they are both healthy right now. The day after Passover I came downstairs to find them both curled up on the couch doing the mosaics they had gotten as afikomen gifts. Rose announced to me that they had not been fighting. Like he was such a usual occurrence in the mornings that I should note otherwise. She's also been hugging David a lot the last few days, singing to him, and lifting him up.
