dd1 cracks me up- she has red hair but will tell everyone her hair is pink. Her favorite color is pink and would wear this color everyday. She must think she hit the jackpot having pink hair on top of it.
She is such a bright spot in my day.
I hope she keeps her wonderful qualities maybe dropping a bit of the stubborness
dd's preschool teachers laugh at her stubborness. I'll say she is a little stubborn and they will say just a bit
Dh and I laugh at what an amazing ...

Dh and I took the kids grocery shopping to get out of the house since were in the middle of a big remodel. L was getting a little tired at the end and at checkout spotted the pack of Pringles. She started screaming and I took her and ds to the front to keep them busy so dh could unload and watch other dd. Standing at the front of the store where you bag your own groceries I kept seeing this lady look at me then turn around and talk to the man behind her. I had smiled at this lady in the store while ...

We started a new plan with ds w/ having him read to us 15 minutes everyday. This has been going on for a couple weeks. His teacher wrote us yesterday that she tested him and he has gone up 2 reading levels in 1 month.
WE are so happy for him to see something positive!!!

-He meets all the criteria for passing kindergarten but the problem we worry about is 2 and 3 grade.
We will most likely hold him back 1 more year. He is the smallest child in the class and is probably ...

This is something that consumes so much of us lately with ds. He is the most adorable little boy that has recently started doing a shaking tic. It breaks our hearts watching him do this over and over. We don't know yet if this is just a phase or if it's more. We are heading into month 2 of trying to ignore It's so hard to ignore. I'm sure he is quite the show to watch at school with this. Dh was watching him today at parent pickup. The teacher was talking to him and the whole time he is leaning ...

Who invites company over in the middle of a home remodel?
Dh invited another family over for Super Bowl Sunday. We will be painting all day Saturday and should be on Sunday. We will not have any doors on the closets/pantry, etc. The molding will all be off and half the furniture should be moved in the garage. He doesn't understand why it's a problem to have another family over with no doors and all.
He said well you told me to invite them ?????????????? uhhmmm I believe I found ...

This is what my 3 yr old dd told me today.

Conversation:
S: We don't need anymore babies in this house!
me: oh really
S: yes, They break everything in this house. We already have one and we don't need another!!

I have no idea where she gets these things from. I told her to make sure she told her daddy how she felt. He laughed and told her he could think of a few others that break things in the house. SHe is such a daddy's girl so she always leaves ...

I was sad about some things that I will post in another post because they really don't matter right now.

I came down to log on the computer and to check my email. On my son's country specific adoption board another member posted about the unexpected passing away of a little girl that was adopted from his country. MK's mom has been very active on this board and has shared with us her dd's life. MK has been an amazing little fighter from day one and has amazed everyone around her. ...

The kids have gone to the same preschool for the past 3 years. We have been very loyal and stuck in there. THey just opened enrollment for families that attend. I go in there today to pay for next year. She gives me the big spiel that dd will have to do 2 years since she misses the cutoff by 4 days. Yes, I know this! Then after carrying on and on about this she says oh by the way the 4 year old program is full. What?????????? You just opened it to families already enrolled. I am extemely upset ...
