Coralville Performing Arts Borlaug Elementary School Jan 2014

Sophia and I read some of her book "Goofballs" this morning. She is a pretty good reader for her age. Had dinner last night at Exotic India and she ate all her food.

Here's a video of Sophia first performance at Coralville Arts Performance Center. First grade.

Sandos-Caracol

We just returned from our spring-break vacation at Riviera Maya. Sophia spent a lot of time improving her swimming skills. She can now swim from one side of the pool to the other side! She also likes to dive into the deep water. She is starting to read short books and memorize bible verses.

Sophia is Five Years old!

Sophia celebrated her birthday with a wonderful ice-cream cake and lots of friends! She received many gifts, but the one she liked the most was stuff to make a Fairy Garden!
Sophia is doing great in gymnastics and also has passed her PS-III swimming course.  She is so good that she will be skipping Level-1.

Borlaug Elementary School

Today, we visited Sophia's new school, Borlaug Elementary. She is excited to start kindergarten in August. She is a very smart girl.  She is taking swimming lesson and she is in Level PS-II. She is going to swim like a fish!

Lego Truck

Karen got a Lego truck for Sophia.  I only showed her the instructions, and she was finding the pieces and putting them together.  She finished it and we took a nice picture. This girl is amazing.  I should get a small Lego toy for Assen and help him put it together the same way I did with Sophia.

A new year!

Sophia is now four years young.  She is doing gymnastics at Synergy Gymnastics in North Liberty. She loves doing exercise. She is very independent and wants to learn as much as she can. She loves playing with dad's iPod. She likes to sing along and do Spanish in the iPod.

Happy Birthday mom!

Sophia celebrated her mom's birthday! Sophia weighs now 28 pounds. She is getting some weight, but we don't know where she is putting it. Sophia's best frien at daycare is Jacob. He is a sweet little boy.
