Fun facts and skills:

• Ava has mastered writing the entire alphabet as well as many, many words and names
• She is very eager to learn to read and has the hang of quite a few words
• Ava can now swim 10-15 meters independently and is getting very good at the strokes
• Ava is smitted about dance. She loves it as much as we expected her to and has learned both her ballet and tap dances perfectly. She is the 'star' student in the first row. We are so excited for her recital in a couple weeks

It's so fun to watch Ava become compassionate about things like dance and reading. She's so driven and focused. She is also so compassionate and has this endearing natural mothering instinct that often kicks in with her brother. We are so proud of her and are so enjoying watching her learn and grow!
