It's official. All the kids are now in school. John had his 1st day last Friday where I stayed with him, and his first day by himself was Monday. He is going 3 days a week and loving it. Most of the kids from last year are in his class, as well as a few new friends. He has already been planning his show and tells for the next week. This week he took a tractor one day and a hammer the next. Next week he plans on bringing his tae kwon do belt and maybe one of his trains. I really wish I could be a fly on the wall during show and tell to see what the kids say about the treasures they bring from home.

Hugs from NatalieThe girls had their 1st day on Monday, where I stayed with them, and then their first official day by themselves was Wednesday. They did great. They remembered the teachers from John's class, so they were fine being left with them. We got a few new pieces of art to add to our growing collection. I came to pick them up just a few minutes early so I got to peek in while they were singing. It was so cute watching them participate with their class. I can't believe they are getting so big!

the girls and I after their 1st daySleeping in beds hasn't been going so well. The first couple of days were alright, but now, I don't think they sleep at all during nap time. They empty the dresser and the toy box. Get in each others beds, and basically just play and make a big mess. Then, when it is time to get up they are exhausted.
After the girls took a nice rest on the living room floor yesterday, we headed outside. All the kids are getting so much more adventurous. John is close to being able to reach the monkey bars which I'm sure means a trip to the ER for a broken arm is in our near future. Natalie has no fear whatsoever. She has learned to climb the rock wall and is now climbing the rope ladder. She falls and gets her legs stuck, but just keeps going back for more. Even Rebecca has started getting into the action. She used to be scared to climb the steps and now she is scaling the bar ladder and working on the rock wall. It's neat to watch them learn how to do all these things, but I have about 15 mini heart attacks every time we play outside.

well, since i haven't gotten to read blogs lately, thought i'd do a little of that today. i started back with the last one i had read and went up from there. guess i should have gone backwards. sorry the beds thing isn't going as well as you once mentioned. i hope its getting better now. naps are already my biggest struggle of the day with brody, so i hope that when he's in his big boy bed it doesn't get worse....he may have to just sleep in a cage (a giant one, of course). =)
love the pics of them on the swing set! they are so full of smiles! i can only imagine how many heart attacks you are having...15 seems a bit low! =) i have that many just watching brody walk through the kitchen/living room while holding his blanket over his face! hope that trip to the ER doesn't come as soon as you expect it to!
oh, and i forgot to mention that i would love to be a fly on the wall during show-and-tell time, too! =)
