Taylor the Husky

We've had some great moments over the past few days....I don't know if parent's can possibly love their kids any more...Jacob had his last Tball game of the season and got his first trophy - he was so proud and excited.  Lauren had her first sleepover at a friend's house and did great, and she got a stellar report on her reading progress from her teacher today. And Taylor has big news - she was accepted into the EEU for next year, so she is officially a Husky for the next three years! We are SO excited - this is exactly what we wanted and the best place for Taylor to be. The teachers and staff love her and they are thrilled too. This relieves some (a lot of) stress and we're so thrilled to have another big moment behind us. School is a big decision for any kid, but even more important for those that are pretty fragile.

Tonight was a huge moment - David had the big kids at swim team practice and I was singing absentmindedly to Taylor while I was about to get her PJ's on. I was singing Itsy Bitsy Spider (which is her favorite song) and I stopped midway. She smiled hugely at me and then clearly signed "more". I said "Taylor, do you want more singing?" She grinned, nodded her head and signed "more" again. This is truly one of the first times that I really knew what she wanted - so I sang Itsy Bitsy Spider and a bunch of other songs. It's so great to know that she loves music and my singing (of all things). I love that I made her happy.
