So, Rachel is one busy kid. We have signed her up for swimming, tennis, gymnastics, religious school, Daisy Scouts, and we hope to get her into Odyssey of the Mind, too. She asked for everything, and we said yes before we quite realized how things were piling up.
For extended-day activities, we're hoping to get her in to a STEAM class (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics), which apparently uses scientific principles to explain great works of art such as Shakespeare and Michelangelo. Or something like that. Also hoping she gets in to a class called "Creative Movement" and some kind of sports class where they learn different games every week, like Capture the Flag and such.
She was dragging her feet last night before gymnastics, which meant she and Drew were five minutes late, and he chewed her out for delaying. He noted to me that if she's going to do all these activities, then she has to get better at time management. And I agree.
She's also interested in embroidery. Gotta find her an embroidery kit somewhere. Hey, Mom, remember those dinner napkins I embroidered for you when I was a kid with that embroidery kit you got me? I told Rachel all about it. Do you still have them?
