Kindermusic

Today was Chloe's first Kindermusic class.  Every Tuesday from 3:30-4:30pm, the local international school sponsors a music class specifically for kids ages 3-5.  Chloe loved it.  At first she was a little shy and hesitant to participate but by the end of class she was hopping and bouncing and beating wooden sticks to the beat of carnival music along with all the other kids.

During your quiet times, I would ask that you remember a couple of items in relation to her class:
1. Although Chloe has made GIANT progress in her development skills she is still lagging a little behind her peers.  Things like hopping on one foot, throwing a ball and marching in place are quite difficult for her to do.  She is also making good progress on speech and language but once again she is still a bit behind in pronunciation as well as pronoun usage.  Just ask that the right tools would be placed in our path to enable her to continue to progress as she enters pre-k this fall.

2. Most of the other children in Chloe's class are Taiwanese which means that this is a great opportunity for me to meet other local moms.  Please ask that doors would be opened and I will be able to build relationships with other locals who may or may not have heard the good news.

How wonderful that Chloe is enjoying a class like that! I predict that she will very quickly catch up, both in speech & coordination skills. My grandson, Ryan (Melanie's son) was far behind in speech when he turned 3. We were able to place him in a special 3 & 4 year old pre-k, and within just a month or so, he was miles ahead of where he was. I will pray for Chloe that she will also have such growth.
I so enjoy reading all your blogs! You & Jeff have so much more faith and courage than I ever dreamed of having. I hate to plan a shopping trip, let alone travel around the world -- with babies!
Much love to you both,
Aunt D
