The two year old room at The Lincroft Center for Children is called the Piglet class. Her previous class was called the Tigger class. When Gillian first started in the two year old class, we would ask her what class she was in. She would smile and say “I a Tigger!” After a little bit… Continue reading Piglet
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
Tonight we had to run to Toys R Us to pick up diapers and a bike lock. Before we got to the store, Daddy told John that we were not buying any toys and we were just picking up two things. He understood even though he was disappointed. I got Gillian out of the car… Continue reading Chicken pumpkins
John & Gilly say the funniest and sweetest things.

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
Gillian has always been a good eater. But lately she is very distracted during dinner. Tonight, for example, she was standing on her chair singing. We had to keep telling her to eat. She would eat but then get up and sing again. All of us were finished with our dinner and I told John… Continue reading Dinner and a show
Today was Brielle Day. For those that don’t know, Brielle is a local town and they have a day every September with a 5K and 10K race, craft & food vendors sell their wares and the local fire engines give rides to the kids. Daddy and I have been going to Brielle Day since we were… Continue reading Brielle Day
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
