Gillian had her first field trip today. Her class got to visit Huber Woods. Since the trip was to a park, they allowed a lot of chaperones. I was able to sign up (along with 12 other moms and dads). Gillian and I got to her school this morning and we waited for all of… Continue reading The field trip
Tonight in the car, Gillian told John and I, “I have a girlfriend.” John said “You mean, you are someone’s girlfriend.” She said “Yea, I a girlfriend.” John asked her, “Who’s your boyfriend?” She proudly announced “Nicholas!” She has been talking about Nicholas for awhile now. A few weeks ago, she told me that she… Continue reading The boyfriend
At dinner tonight, Daddy and I were talking but Gillian was trying to get Daddy’s attention. “Excuse me. Daddy, excuse me. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Excuse me.” Finally Daddy stopped to ask Gillian what she needed. She said “I have more broccoli?” You can’t say no to that request. Daddy gave her more broccoli and she… Continue reading Excuse me
Today we met Mimi, Poppy, Uncle T and Aunt Missy for breakfast and then went pumpkin picking. If you remember, last year (check out last year’s post: pumpkin picking) John had very specific criteria for the perfect pumpkin. The pumpkin had to be round, not too dirty and a stem. This year, he wasn’t that specific. He… Continue reading a big pumpkin
While I was taking a shower this morning, there was a knock on the door. I knew it was John. We are teaching the kids to knock on closed doors before they enter them. John is doing really well with this process, Gillian is not. Anyway, there was a knock on my door. I told… Continue reading the picnic
I picked up Gillian from school today. When we were both in the car, I asked her how school was today. She didn’t respond right away. And finally she said “My friends got sick. My friend Leo and Sophina.” I said “What happened to Sophia?” “No Mommy! Sooopphhinnnaa!” I’ve never heard of this friend before,… Continue reading Ponies and dragons
Tonight at dinner, we asked the kids about their days. Gillian said “I play with Nicholas and Sophia. I sit in timeout chair.” I asked her why she had to go to timeout. She said “I didn’t stay on my mat at naptime.” At least she is honest. We asked John the same question. He… Continue reading How was your day?
Every night, I go and check on the kids after bedtime. Gillian still takes a nap at school, so most nights when I check on her (around 9) she is still awake. Last night, she was awake and she invited me into her bed to snuggle with her. I snuggled up with her and asked… Continue reading Let’s talk
Gillian likes to sleep in on the weekends. This morning, she found me in the kitchen. After I got my morning kisses and squeezies, she asked me “What you doing?” I told her that I was making waffles. She said “OK I help!” If you have ever had the assistance of a 3 year old,… Continue reading Waffles
Gillian and I were singing “The wheels on the bus” last night. She sang a few few verses and when we got to “the people on the bus go up and down.” She sang that verse and said “They wouldn’t go up and down if they have a seatbelt!” Good observation Gillian. This morning, Daddy… Continue reading Seatbelt and coffee
