How in the world did it get to be September already? Timmy started preschool last week and as far as I can tell he really likes it. It's strange for me to have to drop him off somewhere and trust that he'll be ok. I keep waiting for the phone call that they can't find him. We've finally discovered other toys than Thomas and other shows. Currently we are into Ni Hao, Kai Lan and are learning new words in Mandarin. Not that we will ever need them, but it makes the heart happy to hear your preschooler asking for watermelon in Chinese at the grocery store.

Kayla decided to be a walker in the last weeks which has it's perks and its drawbacks. She gets into everything and LOVES to climb. A few weeks ago I had to leave her in her high chair to help Tim go potty and when I returned she had climbed out of the chair, across the counter, an into the kitchen sink, which thankfully was clean and empty of dishes/knives/food funk. I've also found her sitting on the kitchen table, sitting on top of her high chair tray, and three tiers up in the wire toy shelf in the playroom. Joy. She's also talking tons and some of the words are starting to make sense. The cutest is her thank you, the most annoying is "me, me, MEEE" when she wants something. She loves to bother her brother and tries to smack him in the head whenever it's nearby. He's not thrilled.


Joe started his professional MBA program at the U a few weeks back and is really enjoying the classes. We miss him on the nights that he has to go bit have started a few fun traditions like Mommy and Timmy game time on the Wii.


And now what you have all been waiting for - PICS!
