Your First Somersault

Sunday Sept. 24, you did your first somersault. YES!

we are progressing.

Today we are Pirates

You wanted to stay home today and play with your toys. And with me I guess. We have made pancakes, watch episode after episode of cartoons, including Mickey Mouse Playhouse, Sesame Street, and Spongebob.

We then did some wrestling and and tickling. I decided to make mac and cheese for lunch. WE ate some lunch and you kissed me to make me feel better. Then we shared some water... and ate popsicles.

Now you want to be pirates. And you are using your "sellascope". Then you took a rubber band and put the evian bottle on your arm, and called it your power water.

I had to write this stuff down.

i am really bad at discipline.

Rainbow

I woke up this morning and walked outside. I looked up and saw this! I called to you, saying come outside, quick. A rainbow! You were holding your teddy bear, and bink in your mouth. "cool" you said.

I walked back inside to put down my camera, you said to me "Mommy bring a blanket. Let's snuggle up outside and stay warm and look at the rainbow."

thats just too darn sweet. :-)

Waking Up

You don't like to wake up in the Morning. I am going to have to get Tivo, so that we can tape Sesame Street. I don't think I can afford the extra expense, but its worth a shot.

I am beginning to check out schools, as I want to put you in the right school. By that I mean, I want you to find a place that is conducive to your abilities, and not underneath your intelligence. I am looking into the Roosevelt School, or Open Alternative. I have a tour of The O.A. School on Oct. 3rd.

We will find you a good fit. I think the Alternative may be the way to go. Parents must participate in this school, offering 2 hours of their time a week.

Off we go... Ready to get some knowledge.

The Lunch

Today, I had to bring you some clothes to the Y. You have not been doing so good on the potty training. In fact yesterday it was number 2 in the pants. poor baby.

As i was leaving I see everyone outside, sitting down to eat their lunches, including you! You looked so cute sitting there opening up your thomas lunch bag, and pulling out your PB&J sandwich, with applesauce and juice. I have to start being more creative with food for you. You are such a picky eater though.

This week I am going to try egg salad, and chicken salad with crackers. see if you eat either of those.

love you bear.

The Weekend

This weekend we went to Janis's house for a going away party for Lexi. She is moving back to Ohio. You got to be outside, and play some ball, ride the broom, and sweep the patio. You were mad at me because I wouldn't play with you more.

Then Bill and Abi showed up, and you were happy to be with the guys. Playing around, and having fun. When we went to dinner, it was nice that you had a chance to be with the men. I am glad that sometimes you get that. On Sunday, we came home and you slept a good long time. Then had a hard time going to sleep Sunday night.

You were not ready to go back to the Y this morning. But were happy when we got there.

Pre School!

You are in the pre-school at the Y. I am so excited. You are even more excited. You had a little girlfriend at the end of the second day. You are using the potty, you are talking about naptime. And you want to play basketball. What i really think you want is to be in the kid area of the basketball courts.

The first day I came to get you, you said to me, We went to the slide (ie: the outside play area) and there weren't any lions in there! And then the floor that was grey? Now its pink!

You are quite observant. Makes me worry about what I say and do more now. Happy Austin. You still won't eat anything in the morning.
