My Life Is So Excititng! No, Really. It Is!

Next Monday, Alex starts first grade. Though, I'm excited about school starting again, I'm not so excited about him being gone all day! Even though I love having occasional breaks from my kids, I genuinely like being around them. They make me laugh, and cry, and at least once a day, make me really mad. That's what family is all about, right? Lol! But, seriously, I would love to keep them all little and at home for ever. 

Elyse went to the dr the other day for two month immunizations. She's a few months behind, but it's all good! She weighed 16 lbs, in the 50%, was 23 3/4 inches long 17-20% and her head was in the 25%.  She's short and kind of chubby. She is growing so much! She is getting to the age where she wants to stand all the time. I'll try to cuddle her, and all she wants to do is stand. I told her to stop growing up, and that she didn't have to get big. She could stay a baby forever if she really wanted to. She gave me one of Danny's "you're stupid" looks. My children have all been born giving that look. I think it's genetic! She is such a sweet baby girl and we are so lucky to have been chosen to raise her. She is such a good little baby. She's not really fussy, which is awesome!

Cam is going to start pre-school. Assuming I can get him into one. I'm excited for him to go to school. I think he'll really enjoy it! I can handle a couple hours a day, two days a week. The perfect amount of time for my kids to be gone! I can't believe he'll start kindergarten next year! I'll have two in school. This makes me sad...

Jonny, dear sweet, Jonny. He is such a momma's boy! Alex and Cam are mean to him. They yell at him all day. He wants to play with them and do what they are doing.They are older and he looks up to them. I keep telling them that, but they just see him as an annoying little brother. It breaks my heart.. Elyse and I play with him, but he just wants to be a big boy like Alex and Cam.  There will be a day when they will see what an awesome little man he really is. It'll take a while, but they'll see. He has the sweetest little spirit I've ever seen. He wakes up with a smile on his face and runs out of his room just to throw his arms around my legs, giving the best hugs! He can throw a temper tantrum like no other. Throwing himself on the ground, and throwing his head into the floor. He always has bruises on his forehead because of this, but he'll grow out of it some day. Being a two year old is hard! Even his temper tantrums end with his big smile or a giggle. 

I sure do love my sweet little kids.   I feel like we won the jackpot with these four cuties! Though they can be really bad at times, I wouldn't trade them for anything!
