Hello!

Christopher began preschool this week! It is so hard to believe that he is old enough to be going to school already. Today was his second day. He was all smiles and in such a great mood when I got home from work today, that is so nice to see! He is continuing to have speech therapy as well. He starts his fall speech group tomorrow and he will be riding the bus to and from school. Hopefully, he will do ok with that. I know that Brad mentioned that he was a little nervous about it, but with Sydney leaving for school at 5 minutes to 12 it would be hard for Brad to make it to Christopher's school to pick him up.

Sydney is still loving Kindergarten. She loves the bus and is sad on Tuesdays and Thursdays because she doesn't ride the bus to school on those day because those are the days that Christopher goes to preschool. Her pick up time is 5 minutes before Christopher gets out of preschool and it would be impossible for Brad to get clear across town with Sydney in time. She has been pretty tired though. She always tells me it is because she doesn't get a nap anymore. The funny thing is that she rarely took a nap in the past few years! :-)

Noah has started talking a little bit. He loves to say mom-mom and da-da. He is in the tantrum stage when something isn't going his way right now and that is pretty tough. We know that he understands us though because when we say what we think he wants he usually stops crying, so in his own way he is communicating with us!

Brad is excited to be going to his first Twins game at Target field. He and Sydney will be going tomorrow night. I guess that it is Sydney's school (Poplar Bridge) night at the Twins game. I wish I could go too, but will have to wait for another time. I am just really glad that he is able to go, he's been wanting to all summer long.

I just finished up with my last finals. I am so excited! Graduation is a week from Saturday. I have been job hunting and had an interview. It went so well and I was actually offered a job, but the pay was the same as what I was currently making. The hours were more, but I would have had to pay for child care for the three kids, so it wouldn't have balanced out. We may have to keep things the way they are until Christopher and Sydney are both in school full time, but we will see how things work out.

Until next time...
