Most nights we fight with John at dinner. We fight over how many veggies to eat or how we need to eat and not just drink milk. I have discovered that when we have him eat a veggie he will chew it for easily two minutes straight. It has nothing to do with the size… Continue reading Veggies
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
Dear John, Tomorrow you start Kindergarten. I am both happy and sad to see this day arrive. I cannot believe my little boy is ready to embark on his first steps of his education. I know you are ready for this new challenge. I truly hope you have everlasting memories of the friends you will… Continue reading Letter to John
I put Gillian to bed tonight. I tucked her in, gave her Kermit to snuggle and turned on her doggie that plays music. I gave her a few kisses. She turns to me and says “Hug?” I leaned over and gave her a hug. “Kiss?” I give her another kiss. I say goodnight and go… Continue reading Kiss Kiss
School was closed on Friday. I asked Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Betty to watch the kids for the day. Since Grandma and Grandpa go to the beach everyday they decided to take the kids with them in the morning. Aunt Betty didn’t have school on Friday so she joined them. Also, Aunt Trish had the week… Continue reading Beach Day
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
We have discovered that Gillian loves to sing. The first song she sang was “The Wheels on the Bus.” The best part of the wheels on the bus is all the motions that go along with the lyrics. She has now added quite a few songs to her repertoire. The other night in the bathtub… Continue reading Singing Girl
On our way home tonight, we saw a telephone pole on the side of 520. John asked what it was and I told him it was a telephone pole. He said “I thought it was a cannon!” “I got no timeouts and was on the green all day!” John proudly told me about his day.… Continue reading Sweet nothings
John is my big helper. He is big enough now that we have him do little errands. He is really good at getting sodas or juice boxes for him and Gillian. I also have him be a secret agent spy. This job requires him to be super quiet and sneaky. He will tiptoe upstairs and… Continue reading Secret Agent Spy
We took the kids to Thompson Park this morning for a bike ride. We put Gillian’s seat on my bike and the girls went cruising. Daddy stayed with John. We met up at the playground. The boys made it to the playground before us. John immediately said “We beat you here. We are faster than… Continue reading Bike ride
