Spelling Tuesday

Look who started his first day of preschool (PDO)!  This big boy was excited wear a backpack and go to school just like sister. You will notice he picked out his own outfit.  We have to have everything monochromatic so that it "matches".  Also, both this top and bottom might be pajamas.  Whatever.  He picked it out. Here's what happened when I said he couldn't open his lunchbox and eat his lunch at 9:15.   He was a big boy and walked right in his class without a fuss.  And it really did the trick.  I got so much done today, he talked about school nonstop on his way home (he told me all about Emma who is now his best friend) and he konked out for his nap in about five minutes flat!  Success!

We have a lot of fun but he misses his sister.  Nap time has gotten much more interesting since we moved roman to his big boy bed... Loralie is loving Kindrgarten and she especially loves having Kaylee around so much (our next door neighbor who I watch before and after school).  She loves climbing trees, doing art, writing, playing dress up, and playing with her little bro.  She has l...
