~Katherine
Katherine rode the bus to school for the first time yesterday! Although we walked down to the bus stop when it was still pitch black outside (6:30 a.m.!) and it was drizzling, Katherine was still very excited about riding the bus she's waited to ride for a LONG time. She's been doing great at school and has gotten 2 purple markings for behavior this week. Purple is the best marking the students can get and once she gets 3 in a week, she gets to pick a prize out of the treasure box. (The order of the colors goes Purple, Green, Yellow, Red from best to worst). However, she's been coming home telling me stories about "so and so" and how they moved to the Yellow or Red color for pulling someone's hair or not following directions....Ahh, the days of Kindergarten. Anyways, she's doing great and really loving it so far!
~Matthew
Matthew has been having fun staying at home and I've been enjoying having the time to play with him more one-on-one. We've been working on developing his letter sounds, since it seems he may have gotten behind a bit. He's actually been pronouncing his "S" sounds better lately, saying "shoes" and other words. He used to not pronounce the "S" sounds at all... snake would be said "nake". Anyways, that's exciting! He is also our musical child. He LOVES his guitar, even though it recently broke and the strings popped off (which he's bummed about). He still loves to go around the house singing songs from church or any other random song:) Like right now he's going around singing "Baby Pher, Baby Pher...Baby Pherrrrrrrrrr."
~Christopher
Christopher is just my little cuddle bunny. He's so much fun and loves to watch Katherine and Matthew prance around the house, as they make him laugh. The sillier dances and faces the kids make, the funnier Christopher thinks it is. Guess he has a sense of humor in him:) He also likes to watch TV...when the kids are watching a movie, he'll lay right next to them on the floor and watch what's on. The other day he really enjoyed watching the news:) Also, I'm sure you're dying to know, but he rolled over from his tummy to his back two times yesterday! I don't remember if the order is tummy to back first or back to tummy, but I'm guessing it's the first one. Anyways, he's such a laid back baby and tolerates Matthew dragging him across the carpet and giving him rug burn (yikes!) and Katherine just carrying him all over the house (which he actually loves). At his last check-up, he was in the 95th percentile for his weight and height, but in the 50th percentile for his head! He's been a long chubby baby since birth (10 lbs. 12 oz), but I guess he has a small head. He goes in for his 4 month check up on Friday, and I'll let you know the stats then!
