Highlights

Bronwyn's first adult tooth showed up

behind a bottom baby tooth this week.

She's been wiggling it from sun up to sun down

and is SO IMPATIENT to lose that darn tooth!

Lochlan blew kisses for the first time ever.

3 times.

TO MY MOM!

I'm insulted. LOL

Of course, my pride felt a little better

when he planted a real kiss on my cheek earlier today.

And then did it once more just for fun.

Puckered up lips and everything.

That boy just knows how to win the girls over.

Also, today was Lochlan's first day in nursery.

He didn't cry when I left him.

He just seemed so surprised to find a room

full of toys at church that he'd

never known about before. Ha ha ha!!!

When I went to go and check on him after an hour,

he was laying face down on the carpet,

with his knees tucked under him,

just sucking on his binky and observing everyone around him.

I couldn't help but laugh! One of the nursery workers came out

and asked me if it was his nap time.

I laughed and said I guess so.

When I picked him up, he was happily playing

with a walking ball popper toy

that he let me put away when I told him it was time to "go go go!".

Poor Aftyn has the flu.

She came home after school on Friday and had a fever.

And she's been having a horrid time of it since.

No school tomorrow for her!

I subbed as the primary chorister today.

I spent at least 5 minutes giggling

at Mirren who kept raising her hand and saying

"Me!" whenever she felt

there might be an opportunity for her

to get to do something important.

She said her very own prayer tonight over her food.

Even though the prayer had already been said.

She wanted to say her own, without help.

 Except I got to prompt her how to end.

It was very sweet.

She is so earnest and sincere and independent.

 I love that little girl.

I love my kids.

They equally drive me crazy.
