A fire truck visited the kids school today. When I picked them up both of them were so excited to show me their new firefighter hats. And Gillian was so proud of her “necklace.” It was a firefighter badge hung on a piece of yarn. She told me “I made it myself!” John told me… Continue reading Fire Truck
I picked the kids up from school and I asked the kids “How was your day?” John said “Good.” Gillian said “I hit Dora.” Let me give you a little backstory first. Dora is Gillian’s best friend at school. Her name is Dorlisa, but Gilly calls her Dora. We correct her and she says “Noo!… Continue reading How was your day?
I picked up the kids today and I asked John about his day. He couldn’t remember much so I had to keep asking him questions, like “did you play outside today?”, “what was your job today?” and “what did you have for snack?” As I was questioning him, I could hear Gillian say “I talk.”… Continue reading I talk
This morning I asked John to get me his lunch bag. He brought his book bag into the kitchen and started pulling stuff out of it. He got distracted and started looking at his paperwork. I asked him again for his lunch bag and he says “I can’t find it!” We finally figured out that… Continue reading The lunch bag
Tonight was Back to School night for the kids. Daddy and I were really lucky. John’s teacher started at 6 so we were able to go to both Gillian and John’s programs. We walked into John’s class and found John’s “paper me.” A “paper me” is basically a paper version of John. They have been… Continue reading Back to School Night
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
I picked the kids up from school today. I asked John what he wanted for dinner. He didn’t hesitate and said “Pancakes!” He had an awesome first week of Kindergarten. I couldn’t say no. We picked up Daddy and headed to Perkins. John wanted to order the chocolate chip pancakes but we have done that… Continue reading Pancakes for dinner
John woke up this morning and came running into our room. I asked him if he knew what today was. He said with a big grin on his face “Today I go to kindergarten!” There was no fighting or arguing this morning. He got dressed all by himself and was ready to go to school.… Continue reading First day of Kindergarten
Today was the last day of school for the summer. It was John’s last day in the Dinosaur class. And Gillian’s last day in the Tigger class. It was a sad day for Mommy. I’m not ready for my little man to go to Kindergarten. I know that the transition will be easy for him… Continue reading Last Day
Lately Gillian has been putting her babies in timeout. She puts them on the stairs, whispers something to them and walks away. After a few minutes she will go back to the babies and take one out. I like to ask her why the babies are in timeout. She replies “Pushing.” Sometimes she says “Baby… Continue reading Timeout
