Kids update - 6/11/07

Sidney, almost 6, is nearly finished with preschool! She finishes this Thursday. Very exciting, and she's very happy to go to Kindergarten. She loves learning about very specific things, like volcanoes and praying mantises, and she is a wonderful artist.

Alyssa will start preschool (or Pre-K as they call it, since she'll be 4 by the time it starts) this coming fall and right now it's a battle to find which preschool she'll attend. The preschool Sid's been attending is now going to be a low-income only deal, so we have to find another for Alyssa, since it's hard to qualify for low income when you're basically not. Alyssa's a talker, and if you catch her playing dolls alone, you'll hear some dialog that will surprise you - sounds like a mini soap opera going on with the Barbies and the little people!

Jack - no school! He's doing well, almost 5 months and weighs about 18 lbs. He is rolling over both directions and reaching for things he wants - like my face while he's drinking his bottle. He loves to grab my nose and chin and run his hands across my cheeks. Right now he has a cold, so he's sleeping a lot. In a way it's nice, I'm getting things done without a baby in my arms. But in another way, I start to miss him when his naps are too long. Still, I don't DARE wake him!

Enjoy the pictures! I'm going to try to keep this site updated and use it instead of myspace, which really makes me feel old! I'll keep you posted!

Here I am with Sidney in 2002 - she was about 8 months old! Then, check out her preschool graduation picture - my how she's changed!!! And a little pic of all three there at the bottom...
