Katelyn caught up with a few of her old classmates.  She had a play date with Zuri. They were both happy to see each other and it was like no time had passed between them.

Shyam had his 5th birthday party at Acrosports.

He was nice enough to invite Bella to his party.  The girls LOVED playing on this bucket swing.  The coach would push them pretty high up.  Daddy called it the "mini revolution" like the ride at Great America.

The sisters have been playing quite often with their neighbor, Jamie.  She is really good with kids and would make a great babysitter one day.  Jamie is pretty strong and can hold both girls.  Her gymnastic skills of strength have been paying off.

Bella is pretty set in her ways.  When she doesn't want to do something she will plop herself on the floor, pout and not get up as shown in this example outside of Target.  She was upset Mommy tried to put on her jacket.

Mommy describes her as bipolar.  She can be super sweet and so happy and well behaved at times.  She can also be silly.  She got a stamp from a party and decided to put it on her nose.

She loves going to preschool and has a great time with her class.  They practiced drumming with a drumming group that did a demonstration at her school.  The students got to follow the beats on their own drum.

Po Po and Gung Gung are the best grandparents!  They watched the girls while Mommy and Daddy went to New York City.  They drove the girls to school and picked them up.   Bella and Katelyn really missed Mommy and Daddy at night and would cry.  Po Po ended up having to sleep with Katelyn.  Po Po would tell Mommy to stop texting and just enjoy and have fun.

Daddy and Mommy walked the Brooklyn bridge in 90 degree weather!

The girls were so happy when Mommy and Daddy came back and went to the  San Francisco zoo the next day.  If you look closely, there is a polar bear in the background.

Katelyn wanted Bella to sit on her lap before going on the merry-go ride.

Katelyn earned her level 3 ribbon last week.  She worked really hard on her dives and passed her surface dives.  She also passed treading water for 1 minute, under water swim for 16 feet, pencil jumps, side kicks with kick board, boiling water back kicks with kick board over her knees and up faces for 38 feet.
