We Trotted Today!

Colin couldn't wait to tell me he trotted today! The Big Sister Younger Brother Dynamic continues: "He gets on my nerves, Aunite Tanya." It seems Colin was moved up to Ring 2, which Ayla just could not understand because he was supposed to be in intro. She went silent when I suggested that maybe it was because he was the best in his group, and that was why he was chosen to move up to Ring 2. Like, THAT could never happen!
Ayla is, in a word, exhausted. And starving. Upon arrival at home she had a peanut butter sandwich and then her dinner, which was a Mexican casserole that she loved and wants to make again the last week she is here so she knows how to make it for when she goes home. By the time we got to her into bed last night it was 10, so I am fully anticipating that she will sleep in the car the whole way to Long Point. She has taken pictures of her horse, Winston, and her two new best friends, so we'll be scrap booking that for sure. Next Friday is the show, where the kids get to show off their new horsemanship skills. Ralph and I are looking forward to it and we are already working out transportation logistics. We promise to take video so you can all see her on horseback!
Oh, and we have been listening to the BNL kid's CD - Snack Food. It is very funny. My new favorite song is Seven Ate Nine.
