Kindergarten

Yesterday was Emma's first day of Kindergarten.  I totally didn't think I was going to be sad and cry.  But, I did!  I waited until I was leaving to cry though.  :)  It just seemed so crazy to me that I was just leaving her there.  Depending on these other people to make sure that she is safe.  I just stood there, watching her play on the playground until the bell rang.  When I picked her up she said that she liked her teacher and playing on the playground.  We had only signed her up for half day, since it's free.  But, Shaun, Emma and I decided that 2 1/2 hours was too short of a day.  So, we signed her up for full day.  And she started today.  Since she is now full day she gets to participate in Dance, Art, PE, Music, Library and Drama classes.  I'm so excited to see how her first full day went!



Sleep

One of the days that I dreaded came.  The day that Riley started climbing out of his crib.  He only did it a few times, so I decided to keep the crib intact until he started climbing out more.  Well, he was climbing back into the crib and got his knee stuck in the crib slats.  And I mean STUCK!  I thought that I was going to have to cut the crib to get his knee out.  It seemed like it took me an hour to get it out, but I was somehow able to finally slide his knee out.  Thank goodness!  So, right that minute I turned his crib into a toddler bed.  Poor guy got big bruises on the sides of his knee.  The first 2 days were rough during nap time, but now he is doing great!  My big boy.  :(






In other sleeping news, Emma and Spencer still share a room.  And for a while now, are sharing a bed.  They both have their own beds, but I always find them sleeping in Spencer's bed together.  I want to put Spencer in with Riley, but Emma and Spencer get so upset when I tell them that.  They don't want to be separated.
