There has been some drama bordering on bullying but Ally is navigating through it and really happy to have this group of girls. There are some boys they hang out with too. The academic part of school seems to be going pretty well too. The teachers write a weekly progress report for each student. Ally gets it on Monday and has the chance to work on things, meet with her advisor etc on Tuesday and then Wednesday it’s available for parents.
Weekends have been busy with gymnastics, a birthday party at Boda Borg, dinner with friends and Guatemala Girls.
Sunday 9/12 before heading out to meet up with her old gymnastics teammates at Boda Borg for Autumn’s birthday.
Ally got pretty hot and tired and came home early.
But sat down and did her homework!
But sat down and did her homework!
School drop off.
Mail is always fun. Especially when it’s a card and some money for school clothes!
Morning snuggles with Daisy are always good.
Walking to meet up with friends at school.
Ally had no school on Thursday September 16 for Yom Kippur. She and I played Uno for a while.
And she gamed with Becky.
We also played Scattergories.
On Friday I took Daisy with me to pick up Ally at school. She stayed late after practice to have dinner on campus and hang out for a while.
Saturday morning clothes try on. Thanks Great Aunt Martha & Uncle Phil for the new shirt and pants. Ally loves them. She picked out a “shacket” too but it was too big so we sent that back and she used the money on Sunday shopping with Guatemala Girls.
Flare jeans that fit! And are the correct length for her! thank you Gap for your girls line.
Saturday Ally went to gymnastics it was the first time in a long time. Probably 6 weeks. She stayed for half of practice.
She made a big decision this week to NOT compete this year. Just to try and attend 2 practices a week to maintain some of her skills and focus on school and rest and her own health and well being. We are really proud of her.
She met with her volleyball coach and asked to leave practice early 1 day a week to attend gymnastics practice. (Yes it’s ok to do that.)
Saturday night we went to Erik’s house for dinner with our Newtowne friends. Ally and Erik watched a movie and when we got home there was a giant bug on Ally's side of the car so she climbed into the driver seat to get out. While she was there we adjusted the seat so she could see what it feels like. And make sure she can see. She can, she said it was embarrassing how far up she had to put the seat. In 14 months she can drive.
When we got home Ally opened the Fab Fit Fun box. It was filled with some really neat stuff.
And an adorable can of nonalcoholic beer.
Cloey loved the packaging for the throw blanket.
Sunday was Guatemala Girls. I asked Ally to pose in front of the morning glories. Every morning Ally comments on how pretty they are. But it was too sunny for Ally to see let alone smile.
It was a beautiful day to meet up with friends at an outdoor mall. The girls had a lot of fun.
When we got home Ally did her homework.
