Wednesday school started. It's still a little hard to believe that I now have a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener!
Amaya is going so quickly it's hard to keep up. She likes school so far, but says it is boring right now. She is starting to lose teeth like crazy again. I think she tries to knock them out for the money, though she informed me last spring that "she knows the truth about that stuff." What a sad night that was! She is such a great helper when she wants to be, which is becoming more and more often. She is also taking a great interest in cooking. We let her make mac and cheese about a month ago...well you can about imagine how the pan looked by the time she was done. We soaked it for quite some time! It's the effort that counts, not the mess.
Ariana is still a little mixed about school. It's a big new, scary place for her but she is also really enjoying it. Her only complaint so far has been a boy from daycare picking on/bothering her at recess. She loves art class. She is growing so quickly and becoming such a young lady already!
Hayden is the hardest to keep up with, naturally. She has both of her sisters attitude mixed in with her, very unique, own attitude. She is so fun to watch. She is always doing and saying the most random things. She is bound and determined to be a big girl, aside from going potty like a big girl. She tells us, "no toilet. I go potty in diaper." Even cookies aren't working. They all do it when they are ready so we aren't pushing...though it sure would be nice!
Our move has been fantastic. Getting out of Pierre was the best thing for us and we couldn't be happier! Luke and I both have jobs we love, a really great place, and so much more to do. I've seen my mom more since April than probably the past 4 years combined. Life can't get much better...well if we won the lottery...
I've decided with this blog that I will continue to write and say what I believe in my heart. You cannot say something and then take it back because of a consequence, and I haven't nor will I ever. It's who I am and I'm proud to be me. Everyone is who they are because their beliefs and opinions, and when something is worth standing up for, never back down.
