Happy 10th birthday, Kylie!
Here we are again, that time of year where my little girl turns another year older. You have had another busy year… You began and completed fourth grade, and in between we got a new home, you had a couple of school events, we danced, and, you joined me at work. As you continue to grow into a lovely young woman, know that we are all very proud of you and that we love you very much. I can’t wait to see how you continue to grow over the next year.
Another school year has come to an end, and Kylie is now finished with 4th grade! She made great progress this year and we are exceedingly proud of her and her accomplishments. She continued to maintain all of her academic progress and it seems like our problems with math in particular have been fully resolved, though we do continue to keep her in tutoring a few times a month to reinforce her confidence. The rest of her subjects all remained strong and steady, which we are also extremely happy with. As we look forward to watching this progress continue next year in 5th grade, Kylie looks forward to a fun-filled summer vacation!
Tonight was Kylie’s annual Ballet Recital (I believe this is her 6th recital!) and per my preferred viewing method, I came into this recital knowing nothing about her routine. Also true to historical events, I was once again blown away by her routine and the advancements that she has made in terms of her technique and overall skill. Watching the younger kids perform their routines helps to see how far she has come since the beginning and watching the older kids allows us to have an idea of where she can go from here. After the show concluded we continue our tradition of going out to Stroh’s for some ice cream, which, I think, is secretly Kylie’s favorite part. Already looking forward to what next year’s recital will demonstrate.
