First Day of "School"

Did I say once a week? Maybe I meant once a month...

Since my last update Kate started Mother's Day Out. She goes twice a week (T and TH) from 8:30-2. I think she likes it although she cries when we get into the parking lot and pretty much all the way into the classroom and if I'm not the first person in the line to pick her up she usually cries too. I know it will be such a lifesaver once I have the baby though so I'm hoping she cheers up after awhile!

She is getting so big and has so many new words and phrases every day. She knows most of her colors and can count to 10 (ok not really, she says 1,2,5,9,10). The only new thing I'm not enjoying so much is that she has to be the world's worst sharer. No matter where we are everything is "Mine" and if another kid even looks at the toy she is playing with she shouts "No!". Makes it not so fun to take her to playdates and birthday parties. Hopefully she'll grow out of this soon! We just keep saying "We share with our friends" and we make her share her toys at home with us and if she wants to play with something of ours we make it clear that we are "sharing" it with her!

Baby Boy Peden (yet to be named) should be arriving on October 7th if not sooner. I keep having this feeling that I might actually go into labor this time but after today's visit I think I may be headed for induction #2.

Here are some pictures from Kate's first day of MDO and from her friend Evan's 1st Birthday Party
