Both J and W competed in their first dance competition this weekend. Boy, were they excited! They both loved it and can't wait to do it again.
They did really well; getting "High Gold". J even brought home her team's trophy as she was captain of her team. I think they will get little trophies from the studio this week.
Hopefully, I'll be able to post some pictures later.

getting ready for baby with cloth diapers
I'm so excited that I finally bought some cloth diaper. So far I have got
Prefolds (18 infant and 4 premie size)
various diaper covers (1 Bumis Super Whisper wrap, 3 Thirsties in XS)
1 snappis (need few more)
2 white Thirsties AIO (for outings)
1 tiny Heiny pocket diaper (for outings and night-time)
I think I still need to get a wet bag(check), and pail liner (check). Later, I'll probably get 18 more prefolds (check) , 3 more Thirsties in S (got 2) as well as 1 or 2 Duo Wrap in size 1 (check) , and 3 Duo Wraps in size 2 (got 1 for now) and 1 Bumgenius 3.0 (check). And maybe some additional inserts for night time (check- got 2 Flip covers and 6 organic inserts). That should take me from birth to potty training for about $300- $350 (spent $308). Depending on how it goes, I might get some more AIOs and pocket diapers and diaper liners for convenience.
I'm also planning to use mainly cloth wipes (thirsties Fab baby wipes-18-check) at home and make my own detergent (Castile baby soap- check) . This is all very new to me but luckily I have a good friend who's guiding me through this.

sweet reminders about homeschooling
Homeschooling as anyone who does it can attest has its' challenges at times, but during those times, I want to be always reminded by what W said 2 days ago (even after a rough morning when I just seem to got up in a bad, maybe hormonal mood and did some yelling at the kids),
"Homeschooling is the best! "
Tonight, J told me her friends at dance studio had said,
"I wish I can be homeschooled"
and
"You're lucky."
when she told them she is homeschooled.
Her friends and teacher are also curious about our green lemonade and "Color the Classic". So next week, we are bringing in the CD and maybe even some samples of green lemonade.
