I KNOW I'M IN SHOCK TOO!


I know it's been a while. Almost 4 months. I did get the emails wondering what happened to us, but all I can say is LIFE! Just busy and this blog is last priority on my list. So I have a lot of catching up to do! Let's see where did I leave off. Oh yes, clear back in AUGUST! Brielle started 1st grade. She loves it!! Especially her teacher Mrs. Stegelmeier!! She is doing very well in school, and her reading is amazing. She is already asking if we can go get her some chapter books. In the back of my head I'm thinking CHRISTMAS!! Brielle is quite the character. The other day I got a call from her teacher, she wanted to verify that it was okay that Brielle was to ride the bus to he friend Aspen's house. Knowing that I didn't write Brielle a note, and I wasn't aware of the situation, I asked the teacher if maybe Brielle had written the note. Exactly what I thought! Her teacher confirmed that Brielle had indeed written the note, but wanted me to be the one to tell Brielle that she wouldn't be riding the bus to Aspen's house. After I got off the phone I had to chuckle to myself thinking, man I never would have thought of something like that in 1st grade. I think I've got my hands full with this one!
As for Carter his vocabulary has exploded!! He was starting to worry me a little, but now that's all out the window! He says the funniest things! He was pretty sad the first couple weeks after Brielle started going to school ALL DAY! He would spend quite a bit of time at the window waiting for her! But Kelsie is now running and talking and can keep up him, so we have a new pair of buddies! We are working with Carter and his potty training. He's so close it's frustrating. But on a good note, Kelsie has been observing and she went on the little potty all by herself the other night. They were getting in the tub and she was acting like she needed to go so we got the potty out. She sat on it a couple times, and finally Jason said,"Ya sis!" She did it while we weren't looking. She must be shy!! So we'll see who's potty trained first!
Kelsie is really starting to show her true colors. I always thought she would be so shy and timid. Boy was I wrong!! Her nickname is baby bobcat! She has a feisty side to her. She is into anything and everything! Everyday she is finding something new to get into, and I'm finding new ways to keep her out!!! She is also lover. She is the child that shows the most affection. She is always up for hugs and kisses, and she gives the best squeezes. She is so fun to have around! It is a new adventure everyday with her around!
Well that's enough for now, I better go I can hear Kelsie in the kitchen digging in something!! Will post more soon. This stupid blogger won't let me move my picture! I'll take a deep breath, walk away and be back soon! It better work later. I know what's wrong! It's in shock that I'm posting so it's froze, or it's possible that it's something else. Any ideas?
