We saw our first 'alive in nature' alligator yesterday. Elizabeth spotted it in a lake near our house while we were on our nature walk. It was maybe 18 inches long, but not very large around; a baby probably. It was near the edge of the lake, but when it saw us, it swam away. We were pretty excited!
Elizabeth and Jonathan now ride their bikes a lot farther. They ride several blocks to the park and then down a long sidewalk to the lake. I think it takes Elizabeth a while to actually decide she can do something; but Jonathan sees that sissy can do it, so he knows he can, he tries, and he indeed can do it.
I am looking into several areas of interest to get Elizabeth involved with more people. I think she's an extrovert unlike her father and I, and so she needs to be around more people. We are checking out tumbling class for one month this semester and then hopefully next semester the YMCA near us will have ballet class for her to do for a month. I'm also checking out 4-H and archeaology or history clubs. If those don't pan out, I will keep trying to find some kind of get-together with others, preferably where someone else is in charge so she has another authority to learn from/work with.
