she said it

Yesterday, JB let me sleep longer after the kids got up from nap. When I got up to help with bedtime, Dax had been sitting in some poop for a long time so his junk was all red. JB was letting him run around with no diaper and when I came out, Dax came and sat on my nap. Ab came and sat across from us, lifted up the front of his unsnapped onesie and said all suprised and happy,

"Mom, he's got his penis on!"

The Drop Off

If I don't blog anything else this month, this post will be enough. Abby's first day of PRESCHOOL! It's a co-op one with 4 other girls, so I will host and teach on the 5th time. There's Abby, Sarah Smith, Elizabeth Hawks, Jenna Fullmer, and Sydney Richardson. It's once a week, Thursdays, from 9:30 to 11:30am. Abby has been asking to go to preschool for about a year now. Ever since she found out last year that AJ went. :) So her turn has come around. I felt a little like Marlin taking Nemo to school. "Are you sure you want to go this year? You can just wait until next year??" Not like I was dropping her off to someone I didn't know and then she got taken away to live in a fish tank...(yea it's late and I'm tired), but I was just feeling like- like where have these years gone? My baby girl. She packed her backpack, picked out what she wanted to wear and how her hair was done. Dora and piggy tails of course!

"Preschool! Preschool! Preschool!" jumping up and down

Dax, Hannah and Anna - the future Preschool class :)

I was leaving and Celeste had them all sitting in a circle starting the "microphone" going around to say their names. Abby just passed it to the next girl. As I was pulling out of the driveway Penny Andersen showed up with Nick. Celeste said that Abby played with him most of the time. :) The letter was F. They talked about Friends, singing a friend song in English and then Spanish. Ab was talking about amigos all day. And they got to craft a picture of themselves as a friend. Abby's had a lot of glue with not a lot stuck to it. :) She can't wait for next week. Yeah for PRESCHOOL!!!!

Wordless Wednesday - Maddie, Abby, Colt

dusk

I love that time of night. It just starts to get chilly, and the watching the sunset color the sky. Tonight we headed out around 7 playing in the front yard, and then moving to the back with orange dreamcicles. I grabbed a ball and me and Ab ran around the back yard. "Let's play soccer. I'll run the bases!!" she says as she kicks the ball. She's got her sports mixed up. Or maybe she's playing kick ball without knowing it! :) Then we all jumped on the trampoline until it was too dark. Bubble bath and stories. Time for bed.

hey there

I mowed the yard tonight, and JB hung out with the kids on the back porch and trampoline. Everytime I would mow toward the house I'd look at my little guy, and he'd raise his arm above his head and wave his little hand to me. I'd wave back and some times blow a kiss that would get blown back to me. He's growing up so fast, and is doing it so cutely. :)
