Happenings

And life just keeps moving on.....

It has been an incredibly busy two weeks since N started kindergarten.
Here are the highlights.

Waiting for the bus. So fracking exciting!
(Well, at least the first day was for mom....not so much since.)

N's first time being on a school bus.

She is totally loving school, and I am totally loving her being in school because 1. she is learning and having fun and being happily occupied. Secondly, I get a break from having two kids and feeling pathetically under-equipped to keep them sufficiently happy and non-bored. It is astounding how much easier it is to keep a 2-year-old interested than a 5-year-old. Toddlers have very low expectations. Seeing a caterpillar is super fun and means multiple minutes of time-passing. Virtually anything is interesting to a toddler.

Visited our local and much-loved My Gym when Elmo was there.
N is to the stage where she asked, "Is that really Elmo?"
G knew it was Elmo, and when we returned to class on Monday, he said, "Elmo, My Gym," to which I replied, "No, Elmo had to go back to Sesame Street."
And for the rest of the day, G talked about Elmo being back on Sesame Street.

Last night, while brushing N's teeth, I brushed out her top left tooth. Surprised both of us. She is doing her punk rock face here.

And today was the State Fair with Pa and Nana. G got to see cows, horses, sheep, pigs and all the tractors a young boy could dream of seeing (unless he was at a John Deere showroom). He also got to get on a TARC bus and a firetruck. Hot damn it was a good day!
