The weekend after Thanksgiving Natalie and I went to see the Nutcracker at the Smith Opera House in Geneva. This was Natalie's third time seeing the Nutcracker, it was also the third year that my niece Kyiah has performed in the ballet.
Cozy Days Preschool had a nativity play on December 10th, Natalie was an angel in the play and enjoyed singing the Christmas songs that she had learned in school.
This year Natalie and Ryland really acquired a taste for hot chocolate, now they ask for it every day!
December has been a great month for Ryland, he has made unbelievable progress in swimming! He is totally in love with his teacher Ms. Heidi and asks about her every day! We decided to sign him up for another session in January because he loves to swim so much. Ryland has been recommended to move up another level, from the Pike class to the Eels. However, mommy thought that it was in his best interest to keep him with the Pikes (and Ms. Heidi) for one more session because of his age. Ryland has learned to do sitting dives, swim on his back, swim under water and jump off of the diving block. We are very proud of our boy!
