Independence

I enjoy watching my kids gain independence. I know that this is different from many mothers. I enjoy the joy that school initially brings to kids. I love teaching them how to be big. I let them try cooking and I let them make lunch for them us and I know they are going to make a mess but the clean up is worth it to me.



This little show of independence usually ends in a big mess but not today he did great. Not one spilled drop but he refilled his cup a dozen times. With a sip each time.
Zoe made lunch today.


A waffle sandwich. She learned how to make it on the Internet.


She knew it was gonna be so good. She did the whole meal by herself.



The inside was mixed berries with whip cream. Who woulda thought this could be a meal. Thanks Internet.

The bus stop

These two girls or the little girls are so excited everyday to be the first ones at the bus stop.


Yes they wait patiently at the bus with 8 other children. The reason they wanna be first...they wanna so all 8 boys at their bus stop that they are the best.






They bring along the scooter to show how cool they are and they can do anything that the boys can do
Even though Toby doesn't ride the bus with them anymore they like him to come along as the protector of the little girls.

Little C

School has started and for half a day its just me and him. We have grand adventures while he entertains me with his witty comments.
We have swim lessons once a week and he knows every kid in his class by name. We have been trying to learn letters by writing our cousins names. He chooses their favorite color and writes their name and draws an awesome pic to go with it.
He told me today he is going to learn Spanish so we need to buy all the Diego shows cause Diego knows Spanish better than anyone else. Love ya little c.

My Nurses

I took the week off last week. I finally visited the oral surgeon and had him take out all four wisdom teeth. I was certain that it would be worse than having a baby. But it wasn't .

I think that my little children did very good at taking care of me. They kept the bowl next to me in case i threw up. I didn't use it. They kept water next to me in case I was so thirsty. Unfortunately I couldn't feel my lips the first day and really made a mess with trying to drink anything. They also were very nice and made sure I had lots of attention. The surgery wasn't bad and my nurses were great. I'm glad that it is over and done with and now I can move forward with my life.
