Kid Update

Alyssa is doing great in Kindergarten. There have been no complaints about her teacher, in fact one day last week she said, "My teacher was so silly today!" She's not always super enthusiastic about going like she was last year about pre-K, but hey, it's going much better than I thought. She complains that it's not as much fun as pre-K, that they do a lot of work, and she never gets to bring anything home. I think that will change soon though when she starts getting homework every night, as her teacher warned us parents. She has a new little friend she tells us about...her name is Elizabeth and she has red hair. I'm having a little bit harder time adjusting to her being in Kindergarten than I thought. It's just so...real. I don't sign her in and out anymore, there's no snack, it's required that she goes, and she had a fire drill today and everything! I feel like she's a 6th grader or something. I don't know...it's weird.


Kylie is walking ALL over the place now. She hardly ever crawls anymore, it's so stinkin' cute to see her tiny little body walking everywhere. She is so silly, she had a fascination with licking the oven a few days ago...

...and I just can't figure out what to do with her shaggy hair. It's driving me nuts! It's all in her face all the time and she always looks all ratty...
... but if I put it in a Pebbles ponytail or in a clip, she just rips it right out, as she's about to do here...and then her hair looks even better, from being in a ponytail. She loves to suck on chapstick and Trevor's nerf gun darts like they're binkies.

Trevor is doing really well in his preschool too. I don't have a picture of him because this stupid blogger was being retarded and I couldn't get it on. But anyways, he likes it but everyday he complains because "he doesn't get to bring anything home." I don't know what they do in there, I guess they don't do projects or something...

Laura: You could try trimming little Kylie's hair, so it's not shaggy, but can be worn down and look cute, maybe with a little barrett, if she'll keep those in. I think it looks pretty darn cute down. Kylie's face reminds me a lot of Owen.

Oh, and the whole couch thing -- good luck. I'm pretty darn sick of how easily my couches come apart. Sometimes I feel like I have to "build" a couch each time I want to sit on it, by putting it back together. And, it's not just a matter of disciplining my older kids for it, now Owen loves to take the cushions off. We'll see if I can get him to stop.

Yeah, the whole couch thing is a pain. My problem is with our futon upstairs. The cushion will not stay where it is supposed to, with or without the kids jumping all over it. I just try to avoid that futon all together. Anyway, Kylie is soooo cute!! So are Trever and Alyssa, and I'm glad they are doing well in school.
