Things to Remember...

I thought I'd better write these things down before I forget... :)

We were in Walmart the other day (the girls and I) and we passed by the underwear department...well, Callie sees the bras and points to them and asks why SHE doesn't have one of those! Oy! She's always asking me why I have "big" ones and she has little ones (using the word "ones"). This girl needs to stop growing up...she is only 4!!

Callie also told me that she wants "high" heels. She found a pair of shoes the other day that had a little heel on it (kind of strappy dressy shoes). I told her we would look for some "high" heels to wear with her dresses.

Last night, the girls had a cute conversation.

We were very casual for supper last night (Wendy's)...so the kids did more grazing than actually sitting at the table and eating. Well, after awhile, they had all pretty much eaten each other's food.

Well, Callie had a few of her fries left and we were sitting on the couch watching Dora (yes, she had food in the living room last night). Emma looked at her and this conversation happened:

Emma: Can I have a french fry?
Callie: Well, you ate my hamburger.
Emma: I'm sorry
Callie: Are you going to do that again?
Emma: No! I sorry!
Callie (handing Emma a fry): Well, I don't have any more big fries left, so you'll have to have a small one.
Emma: Thank you!

What's been going on?

I'm not even sure where to start...

Callie & Emma are in their new Pre-K class at Daycare and seem to be loving it...they're the "big" kids now. :)

Emma just started speech this week. She has a new speech teacher who seems fantastic (and I really liked last year's teacher). Her old teacher now has a classroom so she's not doing individual speech sessions right now. Emma is still a little shy with her, but I think she will really open up to her.

I found out yesterday that Knox County offers a Governor's Pre-K class. Now, kids that are low income will qualify first, but now that school has started, we're hoping there are a couple of spots left. So, I filled out applications for Callie & Emma. It would be great to get them into the school system's Pre-K class. I think it will benefit both of them greatly - not to mention the huge daycare savings for us.

Josh has started scouts for the year. He and Phil are going on an overnight campout in a couple of weeks. I'm sure they'll have a blast! HA!

Josh is also going to play Upward Basketball this fall. He's suppose to start next week, but we haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully, we'll hear something soon! I need to find the contact information and email someone.

I know I came on here to post a funny from the kids, but I can't remember what it was! Oh well! Maybe I'll remember later.

Older and Wiser??

Last night, Josh asked if he could watch TV before he went to bed. Even before I had a chance to answer, he said, "Just 1 show since it's 8:00". I told him he could watch 1 show and then he had to be in bed at 8:30.

He said, "I'm going to listen more now that I'm in the 3rd grade because I'm happier!". Huh?! I didn't realize he wasn't happy. :)

We'll see how long this "listening" spree goes on. HA!!
