Great News About Lala

Lala passed First Year Communion Class.

School is officially over on the 26th of June.

She passed her 3rd grade City Exam and will be in the 4th grade in September.

On the 24th of June she leaves to Delaware till the 3rd of July, comes back to Brooklyn till the 6th & on the 7th, my baby is off to the Dominican Republic until the 12th of September.

This trip is well deserved as she was in school for 7 days for the whole year. Monday-Friday was regular school, then extended day & then off to after school. Saturdays was her tutoring program {8:40-12:30}& Sundays was Communion class {9:00-12:00}. Can you say tired & of course she complained & even cried @ times that she wanted to stay home so that she can sleep but I still made her go.
She's my little trooper & I will miss her dearly till I join her in September.

Everyone in DR is excited that she will be back this summer, as you might recalled she didn't go last year due to Mommy being here for her Knee Replacement Surgery. I signed her up for the GO Project and even though she had lots of fun, made lots of friends & learned a lot she really didn't want to be in NY. Being here is not the same as being in DR, the freedom that one has when they're over there cannot never be compared to here. Mommy lives just 2 minutes from the River, so you know that was her favorite spot. Then there are the fashion shows that everyone signs her up for & the dance off competitions that she goes to w/her cousins. Just being able to run around the whole town w/her friends & family, tending to her dogs & cat, chasing chickens & goats, and spending lots of quality time her w/Abuelita.
