Back to Digital Learning....

We had one final birthday celebration for Jacob on Monday with treats for his preschool class and a homemade cake for dessert after dinner. I still cannot believe he is FIVE. 


Tuttle and Maggie's school returned to digital learning after an increase in cases in the area. Luckily Jacob's preschool remained open which is a HUGE help while I am trying to help the other two navigate online lessons.

I will say that Arnold Mill Elementary is doing a wonderful job with instructions, live teaching, and communication. Tuttle is 100% independent all day. Maggie needs a little more guidance, but she is getting it done.

The big kids also started back piano this week with a new teacher in the neighborhood. I observed the first lesson at her house, but the kids will ride their bikes going forward. Both Tuttle and Maggie loved Ms. Becky's energy, and they have been practicing on their own with no prompting from me. That is a big step for Maggie- she was anti-piano until she met her new teacher. :)

Maggie is officially in competition season now. She had her first meet last weekend at the Infinite Energy Center. It was not her best work, but she did take home 6th on the bars. The meet was a little intimidating with amazing teams from all over the southeast. I am so proud of all her hard work. Between joining a new team, recovering from an injury, adapting to all the COVID restrictions, and competing brand new routines, she still amazed me with every event. I know the rest of the season will allow her to really showcase her skills.

Sadly we just received word that the kids will remain in digital learning next week, as well. I am trying to look on the bright side that we can sleep about 45 minutes later than normal....
