My Preschooler

Emma started preschool last week.  She LOVES it.  She only goes on Tuesday and Thurday from 9-11:30.  So, everyday she will ask if it is Tuesday or Thursday. 

Spencer does not like when she leaves. He looks around for her everywhere calling her name. It is pretty sad.  This is usually what he ends up doing. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's pretty nice.  He will lay there and fall asleep, or just lay quietly for a while.  It's the ONLY time he is still!!  They sure are attached to each other.  She loves to do puzzles and draw pictures.  She can't usually tell me much about what she learned, but did tell me that "A" is for alligator.  And they swim in the water.  They are also starting to teach her how to write her name.   
She has also learned a skill that they don't teach in school.

How to flip her eyelids!  This totally grosses me out.  She will say "Look Mommy!"  I turn and she has both of her eyelids flipped.  Gross!

I had an OB check-up today.  All is well.  September 10th is our ultrasound appointment and I think Shaun might have agreed to not find out the baby's gender.  YAY!  I want a surprise so bad! 

Rascals and Such

My little Spencer has turned into quite the rascal.  He has been giving me a hard time with EVERYTHING lately.  Especially with nap and bed time.  We put a baby gate at the door so that he will stay in his room.  He started climbing over it, so I raised it off the ground some.  This was the result of that...












So, I lowered it some.  : )  He also enjoys taking all of the clothes out of his drawers.  If you look very closely you can see a sleeping Spencer on the pile of clothes.

He has also fallen asleep on the glider.

And he also loves to scare me by hanging through the holes on our staircase.  (I HATE these holes)

The kids also enjoy making a HUGE mess!!  Please tell me your house looks like this when your kids are playing.  (This is our playroom)

We took Emma to get her first haircut since she turned one.  She sat there very seriously.  She wouldn't even look at us.

She asks me every day when she is starting school.  She doesn't quite understand what next week means.  She starts on August 17th.  I'm very excited for her to start.  It will be good for her to be with kids that are her age.

I'm now a little over 14 weeks along with our third baby.  My belly seems to be "popping out" much faster this time.  I was scared I was having twins for a while.  : )  But, the doctor only saw one baby.  At my last appointment I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time.  It's so amazing to hear that tiny little baby's heart beat.  I have only gained a little over three pounds so far, which is good for me.  Since I don't get sick, I start gaining from the beginning.  Here is my belly progress at 14 weeks.  (Please don't judge me)
