One of those Quintessential FB Posts

Status Update:  "My Poor Baby is sick!  :(  "
and here is a poorly-lit over-flashed picture to prove it.


Yes - little Genna was slowed down by a fever today.   She actually fell asleep on the couch before dinner. (Which never happens. - my children only fall asleep in their beds).  Baby girl even turned down her beloved "bite wide" after dinner.

Now we need something to knock Maya out.  She has been on a crazy streak since school's started.

Update: she slept in and was fine in the morning ..... then we took a bite wide after breakfast.  Perhaps it was her final molars.

P.S. Bon Voyage Babçia.  We loved having you and look forward to seeing you soon!

Future English Major?

Some kids want one more story at bedtime.
Or a drink of water.
Or endless hugs & kisses.

Maya wants Language Arts.
She tells us if she feels like doing opposites, homonyms/homophones, synonyms, or rhymes at bedtime.
What a girl!

I can't stop Beat Boxing!

Maya's last words tonight.....
It's true.  The girl has been beat boxing this tune for DAYS!!!!!

Maya is very excited about school.  We went to visit last night.  She is enamored with the monkey bars.  However, preschoolers don't stay for lunch and recess.... so that explanation isn't going well.
We signed her up for a Montessori School within Kalamazoo Public.  So there are 3 preschoolers (3-4 yr olds) mixed into the Kinder class.
I already don't like several things about it, namely the commute & limited outdoor time.  Lack of communication and information is an afterthought.   Is there time to ditch them, find a new school, register, and settle in?  I have 5 days.  4 of which are holiday/weekend/no-one-at-school-to-answer-the-phone-days.
