Tay just graduated from Kindergarten on June 7 and starts 1st Grade in August! She is so super smart, and a very, very good reader! Not to brag, but her teacher told us that Taylor is reading at a 4th Grade level, and not only can she read the words, but she has great comprehension as well. Taylor's teacher, Mrs. Jones, and aide, Mrs. Davis, were wonderful! Before Kindergarten graduation, I took Mrs. Jones a stack of construction paper and asked her to draw each child's handprints and return them to me. Taylor and I spent a couple hours that evening making both the teacher and the aide vases of flowers - lilies made from the handprints of the kids in the class! They turned out super cute, and will make nice center pieces for their tables all summer long!
Taylor played t-ball again this year, and it was a great season! Coaches Brandi, Matt, and Chrissy did a great job with the kids! Tay had fun, but she is giong to have to learn not to hug her friends when they get on base or she gets them out! Next year, Trace will play t-ball and Taylor will move up to C-ball (they use a pitching machine)!
Taylor also started back to riding lessons! She is taking lessons at Ivy Stone Arabians, and Paula is wonderful with her. Taylor is doing lots of direction changes and starting and stopping, as well as starting to learn how to post and two-point! If she continues to do well, we are going to take her horse, Oreo, over to the barn so she can take her lessons on him!
