Reading practice

Posted on March 16, 2020 by therafaelfamily

I told Jesse to make a video of him reading a book.

I think he did pretty well!

Jesse is just starting to work on his program, with his first competition in April. And thanks to a Saturday evening event there’s no religious school today. So we came to the Sunday freestyle session, where he ran through it three times with music.

Jesse had his first ice skating competition Saturday morning, and skated in the first event of the day (there were only two skaters in the Tot 4 Male event, so he was the second skater of the competition).

He came in first, with a 5.0, despite a fall during his program. He’s very proud!

Jesse’s 6th birthday party

We had a lovely party the day before jesse’s birthday in Fairfax at a rec center. The Great Zucchini again came (he was at the last party, too). Aunt Heather and Uncle Matthew came to town, and dozens of friends helped us celebrate. Photos by Nor Bouyakoub Photography!
