I was so proud of my Carter boy this week. On Tuesday he went to the library and read to Major, the therapy dog. He choose a book called Homer by Diane DeGroat. It is about a dog named Homer who goes and plays a game of baseball at night, and of course Homer hits the winning home run. He LOVES this story. Interestingly enough Homer was a golden retriever just like Major!
I was proud because I could tell he was nervous but determined to read this book to the dog. Ava and Dawson had fun too, they love playing with puppies.
Carter wrapped up his last week at preschool. On Wednesday he went to field day, and he recieved a diploma and book for completing preschool. It's just so hard to believe in three short months he will be in kindergarten.
Also this week, Ava went to her four year check up. She grew three inches and gained five pounds this year! She is growing perfectly and the doctor was impressed after quizzing her on numbers and letters that she knew them all and wasn't even in preschool. As the doctor was trying to talk to Ava during the exam, she was feeling a little shy. But no worries, Dawson answered every question for her perfectly! But she warmed up, and Dawson spent the rest of the time singing "The wheels on the bus." He loves this doctor's office because all the exam tables are either buses or fire trucks. Now I've got to start thinking about how I'm going to keep these little ones busy this summer!


I love the story of Carter reading at the library. Brought tears to my eyes. Please tell him that he can read the story again to Myla when he visits Aunt Fishie this summer. Riley will enjoy getting into the action too. She has become a wonderful reader and will thrill the kids with her abilities. You will have to take lots of pictures. I love hearing about all the Shadle adventures. Meme
