 So,  Wednesday is the day that Amanda has her gymnastics class,  her ballet/ tap class used to be after the gymnastics class,  but got cancelled.  &
nbsp;  Today in gymnastics,  Coach Klaus put the 4 girls in Amanda& 8217; s class to work. nbsp;
 They had to move a mat so that it was under the ladder,  and when they were finished they moved it back. nbsp;  It was such an adorable thing to see. nbsp;  I was very proud of Amanda,
 and wished so badly that the battery in my camera wasn& 8217; t dead. nbsp;  She was also very nice and tried to get Cami to join the class when she was having a tantrum and didn& 8217;
t want to go. nbsp;  It& 8217; s tough being this age. nbsp;
 Amanda has also made another new friend in her class named Lilly that Amanda has been talking a lot about recently.  & nbsp;  Even though the ballet/ tap class was cancelled,  Amanda is still practicing her ballet regularly,
 she loves to do and say & 8220; Tendu& 8221;  and & 8220;
Passe& 8221;  & nbsp; and & 8220;
Arabesque& 8221; nbsp;  which took me a lot of research to learn what she was even saying. nbsp;  J &
nbsp;  Ethan is still climbing like a little monkey onto the couch so he can bang the blinds against the window and try to eat them,  he is also still enjoying turning off the answering machine on a regular basis. nbsp;  He still doesn& 8217;
t say mama,  but tries very very hard. nbsp;  He says & 8220; d.
d. d. d. Da! 8221;  &
nbsp;  He still only has 2 teeth,  but is really enjoying eating dinner with the family,  and I have to say,  it was quite a shock when I realized I now had to make 4 dinners.  J &
nbsp;  He eats better than Amanda sometimes,  I think. nbsp;  He is devouring what he can of his dinner,  usually what&
8217; s left after he picks the plate up and puts it up to his face to suck the food off of it. nbsp;  J & nbsp;  And the biggest news of the day is that the kids now have a new cousin!
 Hooray!  But Amanda doesn& 8217; t want to go to England she said& 8230; and I assured her we wouldn&
8217; t be able to go back for a good few years. nbsp;  Unfortunately.  & nbsp;
 Why can& 8217; t money grow on trees?  & nbsp;  &
nbsp;  & nbsp;
