My Three

I am just exhausted. But it's good. Life is productive and I'm doing what I wanted to do. Taking care of my children. I may not give it %110 every day, but I do give it at least %90 each day. There are so many changes around here. S is really enjoying kindergarten and hopefully will be learning more and more each day. I think what she is learning in class- she really already knows. So, I hope she gets stimulated in the way she should. Oh, and big news. She has a super loose tooth! I just can't picture my little girl toothless.

C has turned 4 years old. My little buddy is sooo big now. He's a good kid- simple as that. He is generous to his big sister and so loving to his little brother. He never hesitates to show his affection to anyone he feel needs. He's enthusiastic and quite the stinker at times. But a joy. Preschool has finally started which is going well. I hope once October comes the teacher will start some kind of preschool activities. So, far it seems like glorified day care for just turning 3 year olds. I'm trying to stay positive and be patient though. Can't you tell?

We did a fire station tour and theme for his birthday party. Chris got a Smokey the Bear costume that my dad put on to greet the kids. He also got bags filled with goodies from the fire station. This was the first party we did not make a thing for- not even the cake. It was the very first time I bought a cake for any one of my kids birthday. I did miss that. Let me tell you. If you just buy everything for a party it really does make for an easy party. Next year I'll be more hands on.

Oh, and our little guy E. He's a cuddly oso. Seven months was a big milestone month. He babbles to his toys. He crawls on a leg and a foot. It's pretty silly. He climbs up what ever he can to stand. He wobbles a lot but I bet will be standing next to the furniture soon enough. He claps and gives wet besos. Two teeth have come up on the bottom, and looks like one on the top soon. E has really taken to solid food. He like Cheerios, watermelon, avocado, sweet peas, avena, carrots, and whatever goes into my mouth. He's so much fun to play with. But, now I have to keep a real eye on him since he's mobile. Gone are the days of sitting him in the front room to make dinner. Today I found him inspecting under his high chair and pushing it around.

I'm amazed at these guys that keep me on my toes daily. I hope they know how much I love them, fight for them, adore them, and cook for them. Now to teach them how to do dishes....
