I have been amazed at how much Jaclyn has learned this year in Kindergarten. It's like she hit a certain point of development, and her reading and writing has just taken off. It's really neat to witness her learning. She's reading all sorts of books and enjoys writing, just for the fun of it. Her teacher has done a great job of getting them to just sound out the words and write them as they hear the sounds (not necessarily correctly at this point), so Jaclyn has really taken to writing. One day last week Jaclyn had a little fever and woke up not feeling the best, so she wrote her Daddy this little note:
Jaclyn also had her first piano recital last Sunday. She played Rejoice in the Lord Always, God Is So Good, and the B-I-B-L-E. She was the first one to perform and when it was her turn, she walked right up there and started playing (no drama, yay! You never know what you're going to get with a 5 yr old). She played very well, and when it was done and people applauded, she flashed a huge smile and then curtsied. It was very cute. (Of course, Kendall decided to have a major blowout about 1 minute before it started, so Mom got to hold a stinky baby until Jaclyn performed. Yes, it got on me. Yuck!)
