Playing hooky

Last night was Finn's last day of Tuesday T-ball. Thank you so much to NeNe and Uncle Les for coming. It would have been very tough by myself. I have to say, I'm glad this activity is over. I just don't think Finn was quite old enough for this type of session (heavy focus on drills and fundamentals). However, if he is still interested in T-ball next summer, I think it will be perfect...keeping Korri from joining next summer will be interesting, though! I'm also glad because now we are a one-activity family again! I'm really looking forward to Finn's sports class tomorrow night, which has a "fun" focus...go figure.

Today, Finn had his Early Childhood Screening. People from the school district came to Finn's daycare to administer the test to all the preschoolers who hadn't been tested before (it is MN state law that all children need to be tested before starting kindergarten and they prefer them to be 3.5 to 4 years old). I'm sure you're shocked to hear he did great. Although, he refused to answer some very easy questions (where is your thumb? Repeat "the girl is big" etc), which always frustrates me. For his age, he should have scored a 14 and he scored 28, which means he passed, with flying colors. She recommended he be retested in 6 months to a year, only because of his early birth, she was curious to see how he would score if he was retested later. But he doesn't NEED to. They had concerns about his eyes and ears...two appointments that he just happens to have tomorrow!

After the screening, Finn, Korri and I played hooky and went to the park with our ECFE friends. The kicker: it started POURING rain just as we were leaving daycare! Oh, well. We went to the Interpretive Center near the park instead and had a lot of fun inside. Here Korri is wearing a Farmer's Market apron, which is beyond adorable (despite having the worst camera on my phone EVER).

It was Lilly's birthday yesterday, so I made butterfly cupcakes (pictures still on my camera) and we all sang to her after our picnic lunch. It was hard for Finn to leave, but he did a good job with the transition, especially since EVERYBODY else was staying longer (but I HAD to get them back before nap time). Traffic was TERRIBLE on the way back to daycare, so of course, Korri fell asleep. My fingers are crossed that she went back to sleep once at daycare. Then I headed into work. I really like half days and playing with our friends!

Tonight I'm getting my sushi on with Kelsie! Can't wait.
