First Day of School!




































First day of school was yesterday (pre-school that is...but I think the kids may be ready for first grade at this rate). Jack can read quite a few words now, and both of them have amazing vocabularies. They really impressed the teachers yesterday (except that Claire keeps calling the teacher "Hey teacher" instead of "Ms. Moore." Claire literally did like 10 activities in the first 5 minutes of being there including playing with play doh, painting a picture, feeding a dolly, playing with beads... I am not sure there is a lot left for her to do for the rest of the year!












Anyway...here are some pictures.

Princess Dance Camp pics!













Last night was the final night of princess dance camp. Their class put on a show for the parents. I will try to post video later. It was funny. Claire didn't listen to directions at all. She kept staring at me or the babies in the audience and didn't dance much, but it was still cute. She said she had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures.

Dentist, Dance Camp and more!













First of all...what a difference 6 months makes! Claire had a break down last time we went to the dentist (specifically, after they put that purple stuff on her teeth, she screamed and wouldn't stop, so she couldn't get her teeth cleaned). She went to the dentist yesterday, though, and did great! I am so proud of her! She made me promise she wouldn't have to get the purple stuff, and I did as long as she promised she would get her teeth cleaned. She had one other requirement -- that the nice lady with the ponytail would clean her teeth. Luckily, there was one hygenist there with a ponytail. Claire did live up to her end of the bargain -- she didn't cray, she cooperated. Her teeth look great! Jack did well too, but was a little wiggly. He wasn't able to get his x-rays because he couldn't lay still, but other than that, he did fine!! I am very proud of them both. So...they both get special presents! Claire has been wanting to go to Princess Dance Camp, so next week she gets to go every night. There will be dancing and tumbling and crafts and snacks. I am not sure who is more excited (me or her! -- I want to know if there is an adult version!) I went today and got her ballet shoes, tap shoes and leotard. Here she is prancing about the house showing us how she can "ballet." Jack gets a special present too, but there weren't any classes or camps the he wants to go to yet. So daddy took him to the toy store and got him a special truck that he can put some of his matchbox cars in. He is very happy!!

Pictures!











Just a couple of funny things that Claire has said recently...




Nick tells Claire that there is a hound dog outside -- she says," I wish I could have a hound dog someday."
















Claire just comes up to me one day and says, "Hey mommy, did you know vegetarians don't eat meat or chicken?"




She cracks me up. Her big thing right now is to say the word "poop" and "butt" about everything. I hope this is just a stage...
