The girls are finally at the same school this year which is really exciting. They started the year off with a bang and haven't slowed down since! Avery is in 2d grade with most of the same children as last year. There are a few new kids which is always fun but her class still remains very small in comparison to what Matthew and I had growing up. Sloane has begun pre-K which is an all day program. Not one tear shed or one complaint made about going to school. I swear she's been waiting for this since she was 2! Her class is outrageously small coming it at a whopping 9 children. Despite such few numbers though, the cultural diversity is insane. 9 kids = 5 different languages! The school is an international one but follows an American curriculum which will be a good thing if we plan on sticking it out here for a few more years.
The girls are up super early and off at 7:30 in order to get on the bus (no more school run for Kerrie!! YAY!!) and they make it home at about 4pm, depending on London traffic. Needless to say it makes for a long day when at 4:05pm we need to be in the car on our way to gymnastics in order to make it there on time.
Speaking of gymnastics, Avery has stepped up her training to four days a week now and is at 16 hours a week with the Squad 1 primary girls. It's the highest squad at one of the most prestigious gyms in the country...we're pretty proud of her! She's really enjoying it and learning quite a bit! Some days are harder than others (especially big conditioning days) but she's a tough cookie and is learning some valuable lifelong lessons. Sloane is enjoying her elementary gymnastics class too but I think her heart lies with drama school. To most, that's certainly no surprise. Just this morning she was in the bathroom singing "SOS" by Jordin Sparks with her toothbrush acting as the microphone!

Looking out for the bus!
Bones is looking a little sad that his girls are leaving him for the day!
Such little rock stars...
