Prayers, Gowns, and Dances

Tonight Addie was saying our family prayer and this is one of the things he prayed for: "And bless Jesus.....that he's having a good time up there."
I had to take Katie down to the urgent care friday night due to her getting a UTI and the nurse took us into a room and handed me a hospital gown and said, "she can change into this gown." Katie was so excited she said, "Ooooh, I LOVE gowns!"
Katie and Jason went to their second annual daddy-daughter dance and had a great time! Jason gave her some lovely purple tulips, she had me paint her finger and toenails, and put some "lips" into her purse so she was all set for her date. She waited patiently on the stairs for her date to get ready. She was very happy because her dress was so big and full in the skirt, great for spinning on the dance floor.

And She's Off

It's hard to believe that little Missy was off to her first day of school today. Look at that backpack, it's as big as she is! What did she want to wear? "Pink, pink, pink!" When we got to the school she just ran right in and started playing with her new friends. She didn't really look back and didn't even feel compelled to tell me goodbye. Her teacher was very impressed and asked if she had been to preschool before. Nope, she's just a pretty confident girl. It's all the love she gets over here. Of course she knows she's cute and fun to play with, there's really nothing to be shy about. I was so glad that she liked it.

She tells everyone, "it's a playschool." She's right, they mostly play. Away from their moms. Their moms that miss them. It was weird being without my little friend today. I didn't really love it. When you are a youngER mom (hey, I'm still young) you kinda dream about the day all the kids will be in school and you will have some time to do whatever you can think up. I guess now I just can't think up anything better than being with these wonderful kids of mine. Homeschooling anyone?
