Hi! Nice to meet you. I had to respond to such a upbeat post. Hope all is well on your side of this lovely world. My Caitlyn had a bad night tonight with throwing a huge fit that she could not calm down from but as of right now, dh is in bed, little one is in bed and mommy is headed there. Good night and thanks for the upbeat post. Like I said, I had to respond:o)

Well, Nathanial is in Kindergarten - he'll be 'Star of the Week' next week. That means we take in tons of photos, his favorite snack, favorate items, and go to his class and tell all about him. I'm struggling with how to tell them that he was such a tiny baby. He's pretty much the smallest kid in the class - and i don't want the kids to have even more of a reason to pick on him.

Jonathan is struggling to learn to talk. But, he's progressing, slowly, but getting there. He came up to my lap, looked at me and said, "I sit" asking me if he could sit on my lap! Suddenly he's putting words together YAH!

Both boys have had a cold pretty much all this fall. Unfortunately, thats what happens to kids who spend their days with other kids. Hoping that by being exposed to all these 'bugs' they will just get a stronger immune system.

Great topic - we always love to talk about our kids!

Victoria has been pretty sassy and spunky all week! She has mastered using the potty during the day and we are just waiting for her to be able to wear undies to bed too. She is growing way to fast and I find I miss my tiny baby sometimes but then she says something that is so cute I wouldn't want her to be small again! Her voice does not fit her personality at all! She has such a soft girly voice but is the biggest bully and tough girl I know! She can't wait to go to school with the other kids she knows and my grandpa teases that Victoria will be the only girl that is suspended from preschool for being too tough! But when she is being good she is so perfect and has gotten into the habit of hugging and telling me she 'loves more than all the stars in the sky' whenever I want to punish her, I can't yell at her when she is being so sweet!
