Occasionally I add a little salt and pepper to my dinner. Anytime Gillian sees me add something to my plate, she points at hers as if to say “me too.” I always trick her and cover the holes on the shaker or I don’t don’t open the shaker. The first time I did this John… Continue reading Spices
Around two o’clock today, I told John that I needed my secret agent spy to go check on Gillian. He said “Her is sleeping.” I told him, if she is sleeping leave her alone, but if she is awake then walk her downstairs. He runs upstairs and then comes back. “Her is awake, but she… Continue reading Secret Agent Spy (take two)
We took the kids and our bikes down to Manasquan Beach today. John did awesome. He pedaled down to Seawatch Beach and then down to Main Street and back. We did stop at Gee-Gee’s so John could play a few games. He needed the break then because we were pedaling into the wind. After we… Continue reading Beach bike ride
I gave John some clothes to get himself dressed this morning. While he was getting dressed I went into Gillian’s room to wake her up. She saw me as soon as I walked in. She jumped out of bed and came running over to me. She gave me a big hug and said “Johnny?” I… Continue reading Good Morning
I picked up the kids from school today and in John’s cubby was his letter C book. They get a new workbook for each letter in the alphabet. I said to John I guess you are all done with C now. He said “Yup! My book is in my cubby! Guess what letter we are… Continue reading New letter
Today we didn’t do anything exciting. We stayed home and cleaned the basement and watched cartoons. John went upstairs to build a big Lego airplane. I used that opportunity to watch Cinderella with Gillian. She has a Cinderella doll (that she calls Rella) and a Cinderella Barbie. But she has never seen the movie. She… Continue reading Lazy Sunday
Daddy and I had plans for Friday night, so we asked Aunt Missy to watch the kids overnight. Uncle T was away and I told John that he would have to be the man of the house. He said “I will do whatever the man does!” Then he turned to Gilly, “Gilly, we are going… Continue reading Aunt Missy’s House
John & Gilly say the funniest and sweetest things. Here are a few of my favorites from the past couple of days: Yesterday morning in the car on our way to school, Gillian took her shoes off and pulled out her ponytails. “Gilly! You can’t go to school with no shoes!” When you ask Gillian… Continue reading Funny things
John received his first homework assignment today. When we got home I said to him that we need to do your homework now. He said “I’ll do it after dinner. That’s when all the kindergarteners do their homework.” The assignment was a worksheet with his name written out. He had to trace his name twice… Continue reading Homework
We had the kids annual exams scheduled for this morning. I have been talking to both John and Gillian about going to the doctor and how we are going to be brave and do what the doctor asked. I have even been sing that Doc McStuffin check up song. For those of you that don’t… Continue reading Check-ups
