Friday Favorites

By
This week we spent a lot of time playing music. For Kenzie's birthday we got her a music set made by Melissa and Doug (I think I have mentioned before how much I LOVE their products) and we have spent quite a bit of time singing all the songs we usually sing in storytime while being accompanied by various instruments. The kid definitely has the rhythm in her.


I broke out my yoga ball this week. I have tried to spend at least 20 minutes or so a night sitting on it, doing hip circles and what not. I can't help it that I also seem to require ice cream while I do that...


I was able to work this past Saturday. I worked with a little girl that drew me a picture before she left. I seriously love what I do. I get to be a stay at home mom but still get to use all that schooling and work experience I have and work with some cute kids. This made my day. (And yes... my hair is purposely two different colors as I explained to her that I haven't dyed it in months. Also, my name is phonetic... good try!)


Kenzie loves to go to Publix. She not only gets a cookie but periodically she gets spoiled by the people that work there. One time she was given popcorn chicken because I explained to the lady that offered her a cookie that she had already had one. This week she got a balloon and was over the moon. She chose a "boo bawoon" and was so excited to get it home. She couldn't wait to show it to Daddy.


I can't wait to see how she transitions into a big sister. Kenzie loves to "kiss" and "hug" Will as much as possible. This week she even tickled him and laughed hysterically because she knows how much she loves to be tickled. It's moments like this that I would never change for the world.


What were your favorite moments of your week?

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

By
No. Nope. Not happening. Not even close.... but it is. As of tomorrow, Will is officially five-and-a-half. Halfway to six. SIX. What on earth? Both of our kids need to slow their roll and take it down a notch. It's so crazy to think that Will is going to be six in just six short months. He will start Kindergarten soon. He is already registered and ready to go. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes and it is a happy and sad time for me as Mama, for sure. So, a short update on Will at 5-and-a-half... - Will is growing like a weed. It is not uncommon right now for people to ask me if he has grown inches upon inches overnight. We are noticing that he is catching up to Kenzie fairly quickly and some of his friends that he used to be very similar in height to, he has gotten slightly taller than them. It's just his growth spurt time, apparently.  He remains remarkably skinny. So skinny that his clothes tend to fall of of him if we don't have adjustable waists. T...

Preschool Done.... One Step Closer to MIT

By
So, here it is. The end of "preschool." Note: "Preschool" and "VPK" are not used interchangeably for the purpose of our discussion. In the sense of the word, Kenzie is done with "preschool" and next year will be in "VPK". Eek! That's not allowed. Kenzie's first official year in school is now done. She is one year older, one year wiser, one year more stubborn. It's crazy for us to think back that just a few short months ago we were going to her Meet the Teacher day and we were both having some major anxiety about our baby going to school. I remember the first day of school plain as day. I thought she might have some apprehension. Nope. None. I probably shouldn't have been surprised. Kenzie went in like she owned the place. There was a day that her teacher mentioned that Kenzie was one of the quiet ones in the class and rarely spoke. I'm still not sure that she was thinking of my Kenzie. Maybe I had been dropping of...

Eight is Great!

By
Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...
