Kindergarden & Preschool!

Kathleen had her discovery day for Kindergarden today. I went in with her at 7:45a and she ate breakfast, she did fairly well on her biscuit, but with out her bottom two teeth, eating an apple wasn’t going to work. She ate lunch and a snack at school. We went …

Nearly two weeks of good sleep!

I’m highly impressed with the girlies. I made a point of starting the girls early on their school routines. I know I’ve posted about it before. We’ve gone nearly two weeks with NO TV at bed time. They alternate nights of choosing the sounds they get to sleep to. Kitten …

Nightmares

Kathleen has been having some pretty good nightmares over the past few days/weeks. She was laying next to me just a few minutes ago on the floor. She yelled Mommy like she was lost or scared or something and woke herself up. It seems she dreamt we’d left Sammi somewhere. …
