The Pomeroy Family

As usual I'm behind on my pictures- but I have several funny stories I need to write down so I don't forget.

Elliott lost another tooth the other day- Chris helped her pull it.  Then Patton asked for his tooth to be pulled out.  We told him he had to get bigger- that they weren't loose yet.  The next morning he woke up and said with his arms out wide "I'm bigger! Take my tooth out now!"

Berkley started kindergarten this week.  And I didn't even cry.  Yeah right.  I thought I was doing ok- before E started I think I got all my crying out at the kindergarten tour and meet the teacher night. I was doing really well this time.  Although the weeks leading up to the big day every time I looked at her I WANTED to cry.  But I didn't- and I was proud.  But  those tears started streaming down my face as we turned on to the kindergarten hall and walked her to class.  So embarrassing.  Then I cried with noise in the car after we left. And Chris STILL hasn't made fun of me for it.  I'm sure he's saving that in his back pocket for when there is a large crowd ;-)

Berk loves school though. We've had to wake her up everyday and she is chipper and excited to go. That makes me so happy! She has had a few funny stories like the kid that got in trouble at circle time and had to go sit at the table, then when the teacher called on him he was asleep. haha. She cracked me up the other night talking about how she made a new friend- but now she couldn't find her.  I asked her name and she said she didn't know - but she was wearing a Hello Kitty shirt that was really cute.  I tried to explain that she needs to ask kids what their name is so she can find them the next day- not to know who they are based on what cute outfit they have on.  I love that kid.

Elliott is officially the littlest of the Big kids at school.  Everything is grouped K-2 and 3-5 and she's now in the big 3rd.  No red folder anymore- she has an agenda that she's responsible for keeping up with her assignments.  She's pretty excited about that- I wonder how long that will last? We were making a huge deal about Berk on the first day of school- she came down for breakfast and I had to grab my camera for a pic (Elliott was done with hers).  She said "what am I a moldy piece of cheese?" We had to explain that we made just as big a deal about her on her first day (if you look back you will see a breakfast picture) and yes, now she is just a moldy piece of cheese.  And we've taken to calling her Cheese.

We were worried about how P was going to take the girls being gone.  The first day he couldn't care less.  I don't even know if he noticed.  The next morning when I was making lunches and getting them ready he asked where they were going.  Then said "why do they have to go to school so much".  He still maintains that he doesn't want to go to school.  I thought I didn't want him to either - but I hit the wall yesterday where I was trying to get some things done and without the girls to entertain him he just made a huge mess.  Maybe I could use some preschool for my resident terror.  Which reminds me - he came and got something out of my closet and I heard him walking out talking to himself saying "I'm a big troublemaker" He sounded proud.....
