I remember taking Julia to the playground the week before kindergarten started and she could only do one or two rungs on the monkey bars, and even then only after some help getting started. Here we are in the last month of kindergarten, and she can easily pull her way across and back five or six times. Her arm muscles are noticeably bigger as well. It feels like a metaphor for kindergarten as a whole, with all of the learning and growth that happens in one short school year. She is definitely my hero and my queen of the monkeys.
