Lately

With Mason starting school, I feel like the weeks are already flying by. Every Tuesday and Thursday he has football practice. Every Monday/Wednesday the girls and I have playgroup and Mason has his football games on Saturday. If you add in any Open House for Kindergarten or any other activity, it makes for a very busy week.

Mason is still loving Kindergarten. His teacher tells me that he is an extremely hard worker and listens very well. He does on occasion get over excited about the next activity and needs to learn to speak softly, but we are working on that with him. Every day he has gotten a green card, which means that he had excellent behavior and did everything the first time the teacher asked him to.

This year, the Kindergarten classes have 100 site words that they must know by the beginning of the the 5th six weeks, which means by March or April. We received the list and flash cards and have started to work with him every night.

Taylor loves being home with just Mommy and Peyton. We already have a routine down, which helps me out a lot. The other day Taylor was eating her breakfast and told me that I was her hero. It made my day, week, year! I pray that she has a lot of great examples of women in her life.

Peyton is less than a month away from celebrating her 1st birthday. I have come up with the theme and sent out the invites. We are just having family and a couple of friends. I know the party is mostly for the parents and the kids, but I can't wait to celebrate our little pumpkin.

As of last week, she is officially off of the bottle and only drinks from her sippy cup. We stay away from juice because of the sugar, so she really just drinks water and milk. I took her off formula last week as well. All of my kids transitioned to milk around this time and did really well. I have kept a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't have any aversions or allergies, but so far so good. Not having to buy baby food or formula saves a ton of money. My goal by next summer is to have her potty trained.

 Love all of her leg rolls. She is starting to thin out and I'm going to miss them. This how Peyton drinks her "WaWa."

So proud to be his mom!
