The Embers in their flip flops before they leave the slumber party. The next time we see them will be in Chicago for our last dance competition. This has been a great group of girls and we hope that Lilly can dance with them again next year!

After breakfast on school days, Lilly takes Z and Daisy into Zac's room and plays with them while I finish up dishes, iron clothes, and pack lunches. She does this all on her own and I think she even looks forward to it. While I am working on my morning chores, I always hear laughter coming from his room. I just love to see and hear this bonding between brother and sister.

Every Monday and Wednesday Lilly has math homework. As soon as she gets home from school, we sit down and try to get through it. Math is not a subject that comes easy to her so it can take awhile to complete the assignment. When her brain is clicking and she understands what she is doing, she really lights up and can't wait to do problem after problem. But when she has trouble grasping the concepts and how it all relates, she struggles to even answer the most basic questions. I've tried many different approaches and sometimes we hit upon the right tactic and other times we just have to muscle through the page. I am hoping as she gets older, math will get easier for her.

A recent dental visit has Lilly flossing every night. She doesn't have any cavities and her teeth are coming in nicely. The dentist said she needed to floss more. How do they know she didn't floss everyday? She loves going to the dentist and she even likes flossing so I am hoping it will make it into the nightly routine without too much nagging!
