Little Rookie

Ryan started his Little Rookie Basketball League today.

He spent much of the time observing and watching to see if I was watching him. And when there was eye contact he would wave - which I caught in a few photos.

I think he is one of the youngest there. It's a class for 3-5 year old children. He is the shortest and seemed to have the least ability to focus. There were a few kids that were tearful and afraid to join in, and that is mostly what Ryan focused on. He did better when they broke into 3 groups of 4-5 kids.

His favorite part? "The dribbling!"

First solo attempt at yogurt.

The spoon just got in the way. She soon ditched it, and used her hand.

Kathryn's vocabulary has exploded! She is up to 3 word sentences like: "I don't know." "I get it!" "I do it!" Her words are clear and appropriate. She'll even use the yes and no slang, mm hmm - as in yes, and uh uh - as in no. This girl is going to be verbally debating me by 2 years old (a strong skill her father possesses) and I am a tad worried she'll out talk me!

* Nice product placement here. . .

Peaches and Sassy

(the goats, not my kids - although both could be called sassy on occasion!)

I am not sure which is which - they belong to my parents.

Mom and Dad were gracious enough to take the kids two nights,

to help cover a child care hole.

My morning with no kids, no husband, no work - was pure bliss.

I wanted to bottle up that feeling and crack it open when I need it most!

Grandma pulling them on the sled.

And lastly and wonderfully - the new window in the kids room.

Fabulous!!
