i am not particularly attached to the season of summer, i much prefer the fall, however, i do love the lack of schedule and long lingering days with the kids.
we have had a good summer- time at the ocean, time at the lake and time with some of our extended family. we went to sea world, kayaked, jet-skied, ran and played in the pool.
of course, summer means c. has a birthday. now she is two and it goes without saying that time just flies by! she is tall, talkative and funny! she is also stubborn and demanding. c. still loves to read and now she plays with legos, thomas the train and stuffed animals. her favorite things to say are "no", "i am a woman", "barack obama", "that is my toy", "i love you, ____", "mama's pretty", and "big girls wear diapers"...
that last one is problematic, eh?? she has zero interest in potty training and i have 100% interest. however, on this one she wins. this is new for me, the others were easy. oh well, i am pretty sure she won't graduate HS in diapers and she is just too much fun, so no complaints!
she does sleep in a big girl bed, so the crib has been packed away. that was a bittersweet summer day!
now we look ahead to a new school year. the mr. and i have been pouring over our test scores, seeing what we did right and where we can improve. we will be having a new sitter for c., we are excited about having markie join us, but nervous for the transition. the other mooklettes are more than ready to get the school year started. joe has a really tough schedule and is still finishing up his assignments that are due on the first day. k. begins with marching practice next week, is ticked that she has to wear a uniform, and will make every effort to keep her perfect 4.0 as an 8th grader. j.t. is rarin' to go to middle school- excited and nervous. we aren't worried, he is more than ready!
onward...
