Kya is 5 1/2 she is a very cheerful and happy girl. She has been loving kindergarten and doing
really well. She is in half day and I'm
so glad. Some days it doesn't seem very
long but I would rather her be home. She
is very bright and helpful. She lost her first tooth on Tuesday. The tooth-fairy gave her $1.50 and the dollar had fairy dust on it! She still
loves being girly, she mostly wears dresses or skirts to school, she likes
playing with her Barbies, she loves dancing, girly movies, and she already is
into hair nails and makeup (which is really just lip-gloss). But she will also get dirty and play with Baden with his boy stuff.
She is not scared of most bugs and will pick up the "nice
ones". She is a good artist and she
likes to color, paint, use chalk and all sorts of crafts. She is very aware of the things around her
she is always asking what road we are on and she notices people and what they
are doing. She loves stories and reading
too!
Baden is 3 almost 4 and he
is funny. He is now in a rotating
preschool with a few others and he loves it!
He looks forward to it all the time.
I think it's because he truly wants to do his own thing but also he is
probably a little bored home with Bo and I, especially when I need to clean
up. He also really love his primary
class and adores his teachers. His
teachers can do no wrong. A couple weeks ago Baden got the reverence bear "Beary" in primary, he got to bring him home and care for him the whole week! It was a pretty big deal! He loves to be
helpful and most of the time if I just ask in general if I can get help with
something Baden is rushing (mainly to race and
beat Kya) to it, whatever gets the job done!
Baden is starting to realize that he
doesn't like all the girly things that he has never minded in the past. He is starting to notice boy things and wants
a lot of superhero's around. The other
day at preschool we played ring around the rosy, he had no problem holding the
girls' hands but he refused to hold a boys hand. It was really funny!
Bo is 11 months old and is a hoot. He is so much fun. He has a ton of different laughs. He will laugh so hard that he sounds like
he's crying. He has a forced laugh that
is totally fake but yet he is happy. And
when he's excited about something or laughing really hard he flutters his voice,
it is about the funniest thing ever. He
has grown so fast and I haven't written enough about him. He has 6 teeth and he got them within 3 weeks
of each other. That's right at 7 months
old he had none and by 8 months old he had 6.
Right now there are 2 more trying to poke through we'll see how much
longer it takes. He is a real momma's
boy, although he is fine with others he's just not for too long. He is standing on his own and every once in a
while he can go from sitting down to standing up without pulling up on
anything. He is walking with his little
pushing walker, walking around and around all the while laughing to
himself. He loves the kids and really
tries to do everything they do. He is
old enough that the kids can actually play with him which is fun to see. He is climbing up the stairs, super quick at
it, but he hasn't mastered going down the stairs yet. He likes getting into cabinets especially the
loud ones, and he loves pushing things around the floor. I'm talking anything... tuna cans, baskets,
toys, lids, egg carton, and anything else he can find. He is a really good baby!
Preston has recently moved
departments at InfusionSoft, and he is great at what he does. Everyone really enjoys having him there and
what is more important is Preston thrives on
being there. It is such a change from
doing his own thing and he loves the attention I mean the interaction he
gets from others. InfusionSoft has been
good to Press and it's been fun to be a part of it. He is now on the Business Development team
and he is really a superstar worker.
They have him traveling about twice a month for a few days at a time,
saving the world and such. Preston wears his orange scrub pants to work every Friday
and has too much fun most days. Lately he has been having a little fun with his facial hair. First it was a beard then it was a handle bar mustache, and he left town this morning with one perfectly round circle patch of hair growing out of his chin. I can't believe he left the house like this! He's playing
softball right now with a team put together from work. And he takes his beautiful wife out every
Friday, he really is a wonderful man and I am so proud of him!
As for me I am staying really busy now that school has
started for the kids. I don't know why
that has made us busier but somehow waking up earlier and starting my day makes
me do a whole lot more. I guess there is
something behind the early to rise thing after all. I have been getting allergy shots twice a
week, and hitting the gym most days. And
it seems crazy that waking up early and going to the gym during the day have
not made me super tired, in fact I have more energy to do lots more... things I
knew but had forgotten. I do still have
to lay down for a nap with Baden but I did
that anyway. I have been released from the Beehives in YW and am now in
the Activity Day 11 year old girls. I
haven't had many with them but I already love it!
