Mason:
He is thriving in Preschool! He gives me a timeline of events when I pick him up each Tuesday & Thursday and seldom ever leaves anything out. Every Tuesday, he comes home with homework, which usually involves handwriting activities. I wouldn't say his handwriting is great, but we are getting there. He loves to do his homework and tells everyone he has to work hard so he can go to college. It makes me smile every time he says it. Sometimes he would rather not do his homework or only partially do it, but we are working on that.
The other day, I had a garage sale and he found his old plastic t-ball set. I had planned to sell it, but he got a hold of it before hand and I gave in. He has a new t-ball set, but we haven't had much practice with it lately because of our steaming hot summer and the fact that we have no trees to provide shade in the back of the house. So that morning, Adam & Mason headed out to the backyard to play t-ball. Apparently, he hits the ball really well and very hard. As we were cleaning up in the garage Mason made this comment, "You know who the best baseball player is?" I had no idea what to expect and then he responded, "Me!" Adam & I cracked up laughing.
Mason & Taylor are playing together more and more. It's not always peaceful, but when it is, they have so much fun together. They really do love each other and like spending time together. He is a great older brother and I know it's going to be wonderful to watch him with Peyton.
Taylor:
She is our little spitfire! The girl has so much personality and is a blast to be around. She isn't afraid to speak her mind but can be very sensitive. This is both good and bad. We don't want to quiet her spirit, but we want to make sure that she is aware of her behavior. She is very independent and can do most things by herself and also do it right. She is my little helper. This week we made spice bread and she was right by my side wanting to help with everything. Mason does the same thing, but Taylor is constantly asking to help. I give her little projects to work on. I love her servant heart.
She no longer wears pull ups during nap time or at bed time. The night time potty training is complete. I know most people like to couple this together, but we have always been successful separating them.
She is also thriving at school. Both of her teachers always comment on how well mannered she is and what a great attitude she has. The days of her crying when I dropped her off or picked her up are far gone. She loves school and wants to go everyday.
Taylor often hosts tea parties in the afternoon. It's become a daily ritual in our house. Anything involving cooking in her play kitchen, or pretending to have her own restaurant are probably her favorite pretend activities. She is very much into Tinker Bell, Strawberry Shortcake, and baby dolls. She also likes to play beauty shop. We have a girly girl on our hands.
