It's been a month since Gwendalyn started school. She loves every second of it. Matt asked her what she does at school, she came back with, "we play in groups, we have snack, then we play outside at the green playground!" As she hopped out of the room, (as she so often does), I turned around from the dishes and clarified, "she plays, eats, they plays!" We both got a smile out of it.
What a great allocation of eight dollars a day! I like the Gwen that has been coming home from school with a the sense of sharing, listening, and rhyming! She has always sang everything... course she gets that from her mom.
We went to wal-mart today she tried her princess act out to get what she wants! (Princess aren't allowed to be sad mom, princesses get what they want, yes, she speaks in the third person, herself being the princess). I wasn't falling for it so she went and spilled the tears to grandma......and I talked her into not falling for it too! Without the full blown screaming temper tantrum! YEA! She just started these around January. I was hoping that going to school would help stabilize her ability to accept the rules and move on... and so far we've had success! Anyone who knows how well her grandparents are wrapped around her finger would have a huge successful grin on their face too!
On another note, I got to wake grandma up to great news this morning! Erin had her baby! What a great story to get to tell too! Nothing that will make you flinch and go.....oh! Is the mommy ok? I haven't had to many of those lately!
Grandma and I started to do the counting on how many great grand kids this makes it! As I asked her, she looked up and laughed.....I don't know:)
So......here goes the list (why not?)
Alyn & Nate - 3
Andrew & Jessica - 1
Brooke & Mike - 2
Kori & John - 1
Jessie & Mindy - 2
Allison & Mike - 3
Cody & Emilee - 1
Mollie & Matt - 1
Amantha & Colt - 2
Chase & Aliona - 1
Erin & Matt - 1
Brittany & Daniel - 1
TOTAL = 19

For those of you who
haven't seen him!
This is makes grandma a great grandma 19 times over! She love it! I told her that we can make a trip to go visit all these beautiful babies in the valley (why else did I get a grandma car?)
Also, if you have some special pictures, send them to me in my email.... I will print them off and put them in grandma's picture book. This is another thing that she looks at often. She likes being able to see the babies and know who is what name. I have been saving pictures I like off of your blogs and printing them for her. So, thank you for sharing......and continue to do so!
September is one of my favorite months! Not to hot, not to cold, and everything is in full bloom for a while! We are going to enjoy every second of warm we can find! It's disappearing fast! By the end of the month we have plastic on the windows, fire in the fire place and socks on our feet!
Lucky Grandma! How about snapping a more recent picture of baby Charles for me??? He's so cute! so much like Andy and so much like Jess at the same time. Glad Gwennie likes school....sounds like it's great.
ReplyDeleteI was so upset last time we were in Arizona, because we didn't make it to visit Grandma Tayrien. Usually we drive through Pine at some point. But this time we didn't...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for showing her the pictures of the kids. Your blog is a great connection to all the cousins blogs. Just think with 25 grandkids, grandma could get 75 great grandkids easy... That's amazing that it's 19 already.
Soon you will get to add me to the list! I like your fish aquarium, I feel so loved by the fish when they follow my mouse.
