Sonshine School

Reese and Caleigh started their new school last week. It is called Sonshine School. It was hard to leave Wee School after 3 years, but it has actually been our best week yet on the potty training and behavior. I am really happy with the school and I think he loves it and is really learning a lot already. Its an adjustment to get them their earlier and pick them up earlier since it chops my work day up into 3 pieces now, but its going well.

Reese just came up to me and told me the trash can was all full and he needed to take it out. I wondered where he got this from (definitely not from my wonderful and loving husband whose strong suit is not the trash). He said- I learned at Sonshine School that boys take out the trash and I am a boy! That's what I call training them right and money well spent on school! He insisted on taking the kitchen trash out to the garage garbage can.

Yesterday they had Grandparents Day tea. I went as the "grandparent"

Caleighs 12 month pictures

These are the pictures from Caleighs 12 month professional pictures. She did her first photo session and once I told the photographer how she tore into her cake at her party, we decided to meet again for a cake session. It made for great pictures- cant say the same for my newly cleaned grout and tile. We threw her in the tub to clean off after the cake and that turned into another photo session. I had collages made from each session to hang on the wall of her room- those are at the end of the show. Rusty cant complain anymore about the lack of Caleigh pictures in the house with 5 collages:)

Caleigh had her 15 month checkup on Fri. She is now 39 inches and 22 lbs. She continues to be like her brother at 90% height.

Dentist Visit

Where has the time gone! Summer is over and school is back in session. Its a busy time at our house as Rusty returns to his last year of teaching and our kids leave their beloved school of 3 years to start a new one.

Caleigh got her first hair cut last week- cried the entire time. Post to come on that.

Yesterday, both children had their first dental visit. Reese was nervous about going (he kept saying the dentist was going to drill into his teeth) but did a fantastic job. We were told Reese will need extensive orthodontic work when he is older (takes after his mother) since he has an over bite and a small mouth. Thank goodness my mother in law came with me because 2 kids at the dentist was a crazy sight
