We built some very tall block towers today! And then we knocked them down. This is the first time I’ve been able to do a somewhat proper high bun on Betsy for ballet! Lots of clips to hold in the stragglers, but I’m counting it as a win! And she loved it, even though she … [Read more…]
Homework time! He only has one assignment a week on Tuesdays, and it’s always pretty simple. Still, I’m trying extra hard to make it a no pressure situation, just something we’re doing, no big deal. Because this child gets real stressed and mad at himself when he messes up or doesn’t do something quite as … [Read more…]
Today we had Betsy’s 4 year well check with our new pediatrician. I am SO glad my mom was here! They did an eye and hearing exam and I would not have been able to handle Christopher while trying to help Betsy. Thanks again to you, mom! Betsy’s vision is not quite as good as … [Read more…]

Running errands for Betsy’s birthday party today and saw this terrible pinata at Party City. Surely there was a better way to do this. Poor Dora.
It’s been fun watching Christopher and Betsy form a new relationship now that Carson is in school every day. Her bossy nature is revealing itself more and more! She also seems to like things just the way she likes them and cares very little about what I think about how things should be. I made … [Read more…]
Carson drew this for Ben this morning at breakfast.
Happy 4th Birthday to our sweet Betsy! We had a fun day eating hamburgers… And then going for ice cream.
