What's New.....A Whole Lot!!!

The girls are growing and changing right before my eyes! This week has been quite the week!


Macy

• started Kindergarten on Wednesday!!

• lost her 2nd tooth while we were at the lake this weekend




• is trying to learn how to ride her bike with no training wheels



• she took her first shower by herself last week...I, of course, coached her from the other side of the curtain

McKenna

• is getting even more and more independent, and is starting to love pretend play.

• is exploring things in her room...when she should be sleeping. We put her down in her bed tonight, but this is how we found her an hour later.
  
  





• is using lots of 2-3 word phrases when she talks now. She says things like, "Where is my daddy?", "Macy is bad", "Come here Tucker". Also, when you ask her, "What's your name?" She says, "Na" (Mc-Ken-NA)

What is all of this doing to this mommy? Making her an emotional mess! I sobbed on Macy first day of school as I watched her walk into the school building. Thankfully, Jeremy was with me to wipe away my tears.

How is Macy adapting to full day Kindergarten? She is doing amazing, although I think I have a little tattletale on my hands. I know everything that happens during each school day.

• On the first day they didn't get to go out for recess because some kids weren't following directions, "but I was Mommy, and I still didn't get to go."


• On her second day, a boy puked at recess.


• A girl had to move her penguin for not following directions. She was crying on the bathroom so Macy rubbed her back and told her it would be okay.


• A girl told Macy that her medical bracelet was ugly, so Macy responded with, "That's not nice!"


• They read a book about counting and played a dice game.


• They had to introduce themselves, "My name is Macy." And she made Jeremy and me practice too.


• A little boy tried to run out of the classroom over and over, so the principal had to come down and keep bringing him back. Macy said she thinks it is because he missed his Mommy.


• Then tonight she told me that she really hoped I didn't cry when she went back to Kindergarten tomorrow because it's really fun there.

They grow up WAY TOO FAST!!!
