It's A Wonderful Life!: Soccer!!

Spring is just around the corner...and we can't wait!! Things are going really great for the Tharpe family. Emma is doing fantastic and thriving in Kindergarten! Her teacher even selected her for the Primary Talent Pool in reading--aka gifted studies! Emma truly is a gift to her family! She is such a sweet, smart and caring little girl! She is becoming independent too--she sets her Hello Kitty alarm clock every night, and wakes up on her own and dresses herself for school. The only thing mommy helps her with is her hair! :) She amazes us every single day!

Gabriel is doing fantastic in preschool, and we registered him for the 3 day, 4-year-old preschool program next year. He will have Mrs. Diana, the same teacher Emma had for 4-year-old preschool. He is fully potty-trained! Yay! No more pullups at night! He loves to play with his trains and cars. He is really loving Disney Cars right now, especially Lightening McQueen. He is a happy little boy who loves to play! Actually, he would rather stay home with mommy and play all day instead of going to preschool. Every single morning last week, he told me that he did not want to go to school. He told me, "Ms. Michelle's class is closed!" But by the time it was ready to leave the house, he was ready to go to school. He never cries when I drop him off though--I am very thankful for that! He LOVES being the line leader, and it is always easy to get him out of the house on those days!

So today, Emma had her first soccer practice. She decided that she wanted to try Spring Soccer, and she had a lot of fun at practice. But tonight she was telling us that her legs were hurting. She did run a lot at practice. She told us that she wanted to play soccer forever! LOL. Hopefully she stills feel that way on Saturday after her first 2 games of the season. Enjoy the pictures!
