I have three wonderful reasons to brag this morning -
Estefan, Allie and Mark!
Estefan may have the hardest name in all of kindergarten to write and spell. His name is seven letters long! But he has been practicing and practicing! He can spell it without hesitation and write it without thinking TOO hard. In preschool he learned how to say his full name, he would say, "My name is Estefan Julian Monk Nelson Bud." Now that he's in kindergarten he is learning to write his full name! Hopefully he just sticks with Estefan Nelson!
Peek-a-boo! Thank heavens for this dry erase marker book. No wasted paper!Now the next child to brag on - Allie!
She has mastered the art of yucky hands! Yes! She has yucky hands again!
Yesterday I was changing Mark and she was playing with water colors in the kitchen. When I came in to throw the diaper away I found her in the fridge. Immediately she says
"Hey Mom, I think this milk is yucky!"
I said, "No baby, its butter, not milk and the only thing yucky is your hands!"
She had opened all four of the sticks of butter that were in the fridge and poked her fingers into all of them! Silly, silly girl! At least it was just butter.
And my angel baby - Mark.
It is now past 8:00 this morning and he is still sleeping! I have been able to excersie, eat, clean, and blog all this morning! I feel like I already have half the things on my to do list for today done and its only 8:05! Yesterday wore him out. He had to get another round of shots. When we went to the doctor two weeks ago, they were out of one shot and so we had to wait for them to get it in and come back. Well two weeks ago he weighed 18 lbs 10 oz and was 27 inches long. He is sooooooo big. The nurse always comments on how long and strong he is when she's trying to hold him down to stick him. Yesterday when they weighed and measured him again he weighed 19 lbs 2 oz and was 28 inches long! He has gained 8 ounces and one inch in two weeks. Now the weight I can believe, but I think their measurements might be a little off on his height! A whole inch in two weeks? - I dunno! But he is a pretty big boy!!That's it, I've done my bragging for the day - I love my three kids!
