I have not done a very good job of blogging like I thought I would, but my laptop is so slow, it seems like more of a chore than a pleasure. Hopefully, I will figure out why it is so slow and fix it!!
Jillian is doing very well in Kindergarten. Homework started at the first of September and we have a pretty good routine for her to get it done. She seems to be adjusting really well, which is good because I really wasn't sure how she would do.
She got her first report card last week & looks like she is doing really well. She has gotten into some trouble at school, but nothing so major we have actually heard from the teacher. Jillian normally just tells us if she got into trouble or not. I have emailed the teacher back and forth regarding her getting into trouble and it basically just sounds like she is pushing the envelope to see what she can get away with her teacher. She is out of school for Fall Break for 2 weeks. I kind of thought I would like the idea of 2 weeks of Fall, Winter and Spring Breaks, but she is very routine oriented & I'm afraid this will throw her off track. But I know kids are resilant & she will bounce back. She has a loose tooth, which is a dramatic experience for a major drama queen, like she is. LOL. It will be an interesting journey especially for this first one. It isn't too loose yet.
Carleigh, what can I say about Carleigh. She is such a funny kid. I think she will woo people over with her personality. I think she enjoys making people laugh. And she is more of a cuddler than Jillian was at her age. She loves taking a bath, which I have lots of videos of because she likes to sing in the bath & then watch the video. She also loves to look at books while she is going to sleep. Her crib is normally filled with books, I'm not sure how she sleeps. (Jillian was the same way too). Her manerisms are hilarious. We are in the "why" phase right now. Daycare is also trying to potty training her. Fun times.
Chris and I are doing well, we are going to a hayride & bon fire this Saturday. I love this time of year, so I am kind of excited about going. I have been very busy at work because we are adding an associate to our office so I have to fill out insurance applications and get stuff ready. Chris has been busy at work too. So we have been staying out of trouble (for the most part. lol).
