Mi CASA Su CASA

We are now in the third week of preschool/MDO at CASA, and we all love it! OK, I don't know about DH since his routine hasn't been changed all that much, but the other three of us are quite happy with this experience, so far.

Sweet Pea can't say enough about her teacher, Ms. Jennifer. "I going to tell Ms. Jennifer about the flowers on my lovey." "I going to tell Ms. Jennifer I had waffles for breakfast." "I go see Ms. Jennifer tomorrow?"
Our little diva is making new friends, learning new games, and being very patient with us as she tries to teach us the moves she learns during music and movement.
She has also made an imaginary friend (at least, I think she's imaginary) named Christy who, "never yells, never kicks, and never hits. She never goes to time out, except for pushing, and then she always says sorry." I think it's sweet. I used to love my imaginary friends. I wonder where they all went. Hmm.

As for Baby D, he's much like his father: always laid-back, usually content, generally amiable in every way. His teachers have declared him "the sweetest baby" and claim that they would take ten of him if they could. I knew that. You can't look at that smile every day and not know that you're in the presence of sweetness itself.

Then, there's the mom. Me. I still can't bring myself to let them thake my babies out of the car in the carpool line because I wouldn't be able to kiss their faces and give them hugs before I leave. I've been pretty busy for the most part, but today I had no appointments, meetings, or coffee dates so I came home after I dropped off the kiddos. I got home at 9:45, put away the laundry, started another load, changed the sheets, cleaned the upstairs bathroom, sanitized the toys in the dishwasher, and dusted the baseboards. Then, it was 10:45. I still had a few hours before going to pick up the kids. Um...now what? I guess I'll update the blog!

I have nothing particularly insightful to add. Just a little update to keep all five of you on your toes and wanting more of the fascinating happenings of the Head family.

11 Months Old!

My handsome little charmer will be one year old in a month. Sigh. I guess I'll just cover this sweet face with kisses until then, huh?

10 Days...

Ten short days, mi amore. You, me, a wreath made from red and orange maple leaves, and something warm and apple-cinnamony.
Get ready for some boots and scarves, baby.
I've been waiting for this all year.
(Cue something by Boyz II Men)
Ten days.

A Great First Day!

We had a fabulous first day of school today!

It started a little rocky this morning, because Sweet Pea was concerned that if she went to school they would put her in time out. She needn't have worried. According to her teachers, she was a happy girl and had a fun time playing with her new friends.

Of course, she wouldn't let me take the obligatory first day picture. But, she couldn't stop me from taking pictures of these:

I knew they would be exhausted by the end of their day, but I didn't expect Baby D to fall asleep before we exited the church driveway and I certainly didn't expect Sweet Pea to say, "I had a good day at school. I go home and take a nap, now?" as her teacher was putting her in her car seat.

I told Sweet Pea I was glad she had a good day. She said, "You poud of me, Mommy?"

Yep. I'm proud of you, kiddo. I sure am.
