Happy girl at the beach at night
This entry is written two months late so I will keep it short. June was a busy month with work travels for me. We didn’t take that many photos of the kids this month (oops!) but here’s a quick summary.
Food status: I don’t believe Yaya tried anything new in June.
Reading status: Yaya is doing really well! Starting to read some cursive text. Handwriting improving. Two thumbs up for her glasses.
New thing: Yaya started piano lessons in June! Wheee! Adik too but we’ll get to that in his own entry. Yaya is doing pretty well for a beginner. Go Yaya!
Let’s see the photos taken in June! We were in the greater Fort Lauderdale, Florida area for work and in the pond outside my office lived a gator, turtles, fish, birds and numerous critters. On my last day there, I showed the kids the pond and its inhabitants.

Of course, Yaya lost her first tooth. Here is another photo of Yaya:

Yaya makes a calendar for her activities:
