Pick a day...

Jack is due on Tues. Dec. 12. Today, my dr. said that the earliest she would induce me was the Friday before. Now comes the task of picking the day. His birthday. We picked Lauren's, now we'll pick Jack's. Seems like a lot of power...Wish us good luck!

Is it Halloween yet? How about now? Now? NOW?

So, guess what Lauren's excited about now? Did you guess Halloween? You're right! She is dressing up as a kitty per her repeated request. White shirt, black pants, ears, tail and drawn on nose and whiskers. It is a very cute and quite inexpensive costume and she loves it. Today we have a Halloween party to go to with our playgroup and she keeps calling it a candy party. Guess she's hoping for some sweet stuff. I know she won't be let down.

Sorry it's been so long between posts. I'll do my best to step it up in the coming weeks.

Rumor has it...

There will be rides. And food. And friends. All ours for the enjoying tomorrow at the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival (www.nutclub.org) during wrist band day. There will be photos, oh the photos! If you are reading this, chances are, I have already sent you an invitation to my Flickr account, but if not, leave a comment and I will. All of my family photos and friend photos are now listed as private due to sick-os out there.
More later...

Preparing for Jack

Lauren will be a great big sister. She talks about and to Jack a lot. She is drawn to all babies, big or small. She is very empathetic when someone is sad or upset.
I just hope that after a week or two she still feels the same way.

Spelling

How do you spell...? Any word. Any word she knows, wants to know, heard somewhere, thinks she may have heard somewhere, you must spell it for her. And then tell her how many letters are in that word. And IF there is a letter "L", watch out! Her favorite letter and then she tells you every word she knows with an "L" in it (or as many as she can think of). She looked at us tonight and said, "T-O-Y spells toy" and when I asked who taught her that, she said "Woody" (from Toy Story). Glad she's paying attention. I laugh in the face of people who say TV teaches nothing!

Minute by minute

Her moods change. In the blink of an eye. BAM! Happy, giggling, running around...BAM! Angry, screaming and yelling and then...BAM! Happy and all is well once more. Until the last couple of weeks, she has been very easy going and predictable. Now? Not so much. I don't know if it is all of the "Jack" talk or talking about preschool (By the way, we met her teacher, Miss Laura, today and she seems very nice. Lauren loved the classroom and the playground and is excited to go back on Thursday) or if it is just that she is three and I have no real reason for her actions. Only time will tell.
