Little Kaitrin at Development Clinic
This is an old picture from Kaitrin's first trip to the development clinic. I thought that she was so adorable in her hospital gown...she didn't fit into a gown or any clothes when she was in the NICU!Pizza! Pizza!
We have found that if we cut Kaitrin's pizza into bite sized pieces (even though she shoves 10 pieces in her mouth at once) that she refuses to eat. Who knew that she just wanted to be a big girl!Monday, September 1, 2008
Idlewild Park
We took the kids to Idlewild Park on Sunday. For a boy that hates water, my son sure didn't mind dragging me onto the log jammer ride. Since the State Fair, he has wanted to continue riding rollercoaster type rides...and I was chosen as his "co-pilot".Smiling for Grandpa
Kaitrin is smiling for Grandpa. She loved asking, "Where's Grandpa?" She had so much fun playing with everyone...walking, puzzles, and hiding in the closet were some of her favorites!
Jacob's First Day
With a big cheesy smile, Jacob has his new Ben 10 backpack and his Cars umbrella and is headed to class. Amazingly enough, Mom did not cry...how could I? Jacob kept yelling back at me to go home because he was a big boy and could find his classroom all by himself. He only made two wrong turns before he got there. Luckily, his new "girlfriend" is in all day kindergarten and will be able to show him where the bus is for the ride home!Thursday, August 28, 2008
Black Wednesday
Jacob's school has a color system for their disciplinary action. Green is the best, then yellow, then some other couple colors until you get to black. Black is a note home...and a walk of shame to the director's office.
Well after a great first day at kindergarten, we decided to take Jacob out to dinner to celebrate. We came home like usual and began to wind down for bed time. I unloaded the backpacks, only to find a note to the attention of : Parents of Jacob McFall. This doesn't sound good...it goes on the describe that Jacob was put on black today because of his "potty" mouth. An instant terror came over me. The terror was not because Jacob used potty words, but which potty words did he use?
I yell, "JACOB MCFALL": He then looked and saw that I had his backpack...he knew.
I asked some questions, such as: what did you do to get on black?
Jacob said, "potty words"
I asked, "what potty words did you say, Jacob? (as I cringe waiting for some four letter word to come out of his mouth)"
Jacob said, "poo poo, pee pee and toilet" (so she was literal when she said "potty' words)
I then asked, "why did you not listen when your teacher said to stop saying them?"
Jacob paused, thought quickly and responded. "Well, Daddy didn't clean my ears well enough last night and I have cucky in them, so I couldn't hear my teacher.
Really? He came up with 'my ears were full of wax'? How proud!

Another First
No, Kaitrin didn't start doing anything new...Mom did. Mom learned, if only for three hours, to trust a babysitter! Today was Kaitrin's first day with a babysitter (outside of daycare) in our house while Mike took Jacob to a birthday party and I went into work. I stayed pretty cool...I think!
I remember when I was the neighborhood babysitter...parents close by, babysitting class certificate in hand, and a shared love for fruit roll ups!

Rainy Day Fun
After the surprise of the rain set in, after the Scooby-Doo vs Diego battle, and after eating every Ritz Bitz in the box...the kids resort to hiding (and giggling) under the blankets.
Control of the Remote
This is Kaitrin attempting to recover the stolen remote in the middle of the Scooby-Doo vs Diego battle.SPOILER ALERT: Kaitrin wins!

This is a video of Kaitrin and I having dessert. Since she did not know the camera was on her, I tried my hardest to have her say things. She has been doing well with recognizing faces and placing them with names. Grandma made a photo book for Jacob when he was younger and we lived further away...Kaitrin loves it!
