After taking April off, I'm behind in updates on the children, so I thought I'd do a post on Pearl today, and one about Carrie, tomorrow.
- Pearl was accepted into our first choice kindergarten, and we are excited about that. Admission included two tests and a lottery. She is excited because the jungle gyms on the playground look like dinosaur fossils. Win-win, yes?
- Pearl is obsessed with pets. She writes letters to Santa every week enumerating the many pets she wants for Christmas. Last month she got a pair of African dwarf frogs and named them Tad and Fred. They swim in an aquarium like fish and are--I must admit--pretty cute.
- She has fallen in love with Scooby Doo cartoons, even though the monsters and ghosts are scary.
- She can do tricks on her bike and climb the monkey bars all the way across.
- She wrote a script for "Puppies to the Rescue 2" this past weekend. Spoiler: as in the original, Puppies to the Rescue 1, the puppies do not rescue anyone.
- Pearl is nearly 4 feet tall.
Congrats on the kindergarten acceptance! And the monkey bars! :-)

Just registered for kindergarten, too. Definitely feels like the beginning of a new and exciting chapter. Congratulations!

Hi there :)
We are doing another 'kids drawings' challenge soon at Pixeljoint and in looking for art remembered Pearl so I thought I'd pay a visit.
She is so big looking, and as cute as I remember. Her art is amazing and I'm so glad to see she's still at it. Don't let her lose that muse or me and my pixel gang will hunt you down.
Have a great Summer to the whole family,
jalonso from Pixeljoint
