Emma is that cute little blur you see running into the school. This is how dark it is here at about 3 minutes to 9am. You know, 3 minutes before she should be seated in her classroom.I was a little worried about sending her to Kindergarten, she's the youngest one, being born only a few days before the cutoff. But let me tell you, I am amazed every time I help out in her classroom at how far "behind" some of the kids are. I'm also amazed and happy about how independent she is, she does NOT like to be taken to class, she wants to be dropped off like the "big kids" because she IS totally a "big kid."
Here's Emma in her ballet class with a friend. It's the only picture I have of her actually in class and I think we're hanging up our ballet shoes for a while. Long story on that one.
Emma and Jack have taken to "snuggling" with each other before bed. I love it. She's tried to give him his night milk snack but he's not into that...yet.I have to say that there's nothing sweeter than seeing siblings enjoy each other. It's something that's slowly being discovered. Unfortunately, with the knowledge of being nice also comes the knowledge of how to be not so nice. We'll work through it. Best kids show for siblings EVER is Charlie and Lola. Emma now speaks in a british accent, she's not half bad but it certainly doesn't help me understand her any better, which we still struggle with at times.
Here's my dad and I in the "playroom" that lovely high table, with the way cool light and orange wall? Totally part of my ultimate sewing/scrapbooking/crafting/internet station which will be that whole corner. You can see my playroom sink and cabinets behind dad and on the other side of the orange wall will be the laundry/utility room. It's all coming together! I'll post pics on flickr, just use the link to the right that says something like "Our Pictures!!!"
Here's why I love winter. Lovely, lovely snow. It's a bummer that I have no time to go riding (snowmachines) at least not until the house is done. Soon, so soon...
