1 month in...

Well, we are about 1 month in to second grade this year. It has been a bit of a rough start for Addie, but I think we are finally settling in. Poor kid just wasn't ready to let go of summer break, and she really misses her brothers when she's at school. We had one episode of coming home "sick" which was really nerves and missing home. But thanks to a cotton ball loaded up with hugs and kisses and kept secretly in her pocket whenever she needs a little squeeze, it has been fairly smooth sailing since then. :)

I can definitely see her catching bad guys. This was the first time I have asked her this question and received an answer that wasn't "Jedi", "superhero", or something of the like.

2 more years until Kinder for this little guy, but we let him get in on the 1st day action!

Things Kids Say vol. 3

Gage, showing me some toy car parts..."Look, Mom! Comes with everything you see here. Haha! I sound like TV."

Addie gives Gage a cookies and cream Hershey's kiss. He responds, "Yuuuuuum! This is the best one of my life!"

Passing a red tractor while driving. Gage: "Look, it's Tractor Mac!" Me: "Hi Tractor Mac!" Gage: "Um, Mom. I think you forgot he is not real."

Asking Addie what she wants to do on her summer break. "Can we have a movie night with just me, you, and Dad?" *thinks for a minute* "Well, I guess if Finn is awake... I'll allow it."

Gage, saying a bunch "potty" words (peepee, poopoo, etc) at the dinner table. Cam asks him not to  because those are bathroom words, and I tell him potty talk belongs in the bathroom. So Gage thinks for a minute and replies, "Well can I talk about kitchen stuff since we're in the kitchen?"

Gage, grins up at me shyly, "Mom? Can I pwobly just follow you wherever you go?"

Gage strategically placing Cheerios on the floor in front of the couch. "I need to leave 'em der because dat little bug went under the couch and he needs somethin' to munch on when he comes out."

Gage lovingly cradling a doll. Me: "What's your baby's name?" Gage: "Bingo head chancey."

Addie: "Papa always squeezes us!" Gage: "Yeah! He thinks there's lemon juice in us!"

Addie's homework had a finish the sentence, "If I were rich I would..." She finishes it with, "buy a lot of Tic Tacs (spelled tick tacks)." So glad she has lofty goals.
