Being Silly

Will trying to strike the same pose as Molly (below). He does everything she does! Molly was using Goldfish crackers to count her math homework problems tonight. I look across the table and Will is using his french fries to try and count too.
Molly striking a pose.

Notice Will in the one red shoe and the pink backpack. He loves to play with Molly's stuff.

Just hanging out on a Thursday. I am getting ready for Gray's Anatomy and glad tomorrow is Friday. Between working full time and doing homework, baths, dinner etc. at night, I am pooped!! Going back to work full time this year has been a harder adjustment than I thought it would be. I am tired after 8 hours with 20 four year olds. I feel blessed to have a full time job these days in education when it is tough to find or hold on to one. I do not take my weekends for granted!!

We had a great conference with Molly's first grade teacher this week. She is doing so well this year and loves first grade. She has all A's on her progress report and her teacher had great things to say about her progress this year. She even wrote an autobiography that her teacher is taking to her own adult class. We are so proud of her.

Will continues to love to go to school, that is what he was doing with the backpack in the pics above. He is in love with Elmo and Molly's Barbies. They have been fighting over them lately. He pulls the Barbie's dress up and says "EWWW, stinky" (which is what he says when he has a stinky diaper). It is so funny. He is generally a happy kid who loves to play and have fun.
We can't believe he will be 2 next week! Where does the time go. In the rush of things during the week, I am having to breathe and remember to savor these moments before they are too big! Time goes by too fast.
