In just an hour I need to wake up my 2 "big kids" and get them dressed and on the bus to school (bus is coming at 6:55-- ICK!). This year, Addison will be going into 2nd grade. Levi into Kindergarten. We are keeping Isaac home one more year since he just turned 4 a week ago!
I wanted to note a couple things from the last few months....
Right now at bedtime Levi will run out of bed about 5 times-- the first 2 or 3 he'll say "I'm scared and you need to pray".... so we do that, the 4th or 5th time he'll say he needs me to come snuggle with him. While I don't want to do that at all-- I am trying to keep it in perspective-- he will not be doing this in a couple years-- is it really killer to snuggle down with him at bedtime for a minute or two?!
Isaac's big phrase especially at bedtime is "I need to tell you something".... for a few months he'd come running out because he'd need to tell me a joke. His joke usually went something like this:
"Why did the Life Saver (light saber) cross the road? Because it needed to get to the ship."
Of course sometimes it'd veer off into a big story about Dark Vader needing his life saver, etc, etc...
Addison has gotten to be such a big girl. This summer she probably slept over at Grandma & Grandpa's house at least 15-20 times. She also went to Lake Beauty for her first time as a camper!! I think she had fun, although when I picked her up from the church van she was CRABBY! As she got out of the van a tooth fell out. And then she didn't want to tell me anything about camp. It literally took 2-3 weeks before she would talk about any of it with me. We had mailed her a few letters and e-mailed a few, she claimed she didn't get them and was VERY adamant with me that it was no fair that we didn't send her anything.... the next day I opened her suitcase and there was everything we sent her-- opened and read. She said she was just teasing me (ha, ha) about not getting the mail!
2 other funny words I need to write down:
The boys talk about Coyotes a lot-- and they pronounce it "Cow-o-t's"
Isaac talks about volcanos and the hot la-ver (lava)
