All of Sara's activities are keeping us so busy but we've been having fun. Sara's music class went really well this week.  It was the first class where I think she did everything perfectly, listening to the teacher, playing the exercises, etc.  She earned two vanilla wafers for that.  Dan took her to the teacher's music recital at her music academy this weekend and she got to hear all the teachers perform.  She particularly liked flute and the Cello.  Dan and I were discussing that the Cello might be a good instrument for her to pick up later, she will have big hands and we both enjoy the sound.

Her swimming lessons are going wonderfully.  She will be so sad when they end.  The teacher is amazed how fast she is progressing.  This week she let go of the side of the pool with no life jacket on and kind of sank but tried to swim.  It was a little scary for me to watch but the teacher grabbed her after a few seconds.  It did not scare Sara at all, she came up laughing.  Also she put her face totally under water and retrieved objects from the bottom of the pool, first with goggles and then with no goggles.  The teacher was telling me that it's most helpful that Sara thinks it's so fun and she's not afraid at all. Also, she got to ride a pool float like a horse and she named it Thomas. There is a pool cleaner on a long hose that runs along the bottom and they call it the shark.  Sara really likes the pool shark as itt runs along and does its thing while they are swimming.

Sara is also doing well at pre-school.  She likes the teacher and the class and she is always telling me all the things she has learned when she comes home.  I can always tell what the teacher has talked to them about because she roll plays it later with her puppets and stuffed animals.  She was telling her little bear this week that he needs to learn self control.  She has learned to write about 10 letters and she spends a lot of time at our table at home cutting and gluing things together like she does at school.

Because of all her activities, Sara is a lot more tired than she was before, she almost always needs an afternoon nap and she is also a lot more hungry, especially after her swim lesson.

Sara talks all the time about things that she is looking forward to.  She always is asking us if it's Easter yet.  She is really looking forward to dyeing and hiding eggs at Granny KP's with Benny.  Also she is looking forward to going to the beach with Nanna in May.
