Sick, Sick, and Sick

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Cameron started coming down with a mild cold Friday evening. Ani got the mild cold on Sunday. Fritz decided to one up his siblings and came down with a yucky case of croup on Monday. Of course the kids got sick on a weekend when Jamie was out of town on travel. […]

Even More Dinosaurs

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

We only have another couple weeks or so left for the dinosaur unit. It’s been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. The kids have learned tons and I’ve noticed they’ve incorporated what we’ve learned into their play and discussions. They are enjoying me reading Jurassic Park to them. […]

Entering the World of Standardized Testing and a Sad Note

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Yesterday Ani entered the wonderful world of standardized testing. I had ordered the first grade CAT-E Survey (we only need to prove progress in math and language arts in VA) from Seton a couple days ago. It arrived in yesterday’s mail. Ani decided to do it last night. An hour later […]

Natural Talent

Monday, February 19th, 2007

My big kids’ gymnastics classes have evaluations on the sixth or seventh day of each 8 week session. Today was evaluations. It was the fourth class my kids have gone to. It seems Ani and Cameron view gymnastics in two different ways. For Ani, it is something fun to do with […]

A Boy and a Chair

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Fritz is now eating some people foods and stands around us during dinner begging for bits so we decided it was time to get him a chair to join us at the table (we don’t have a high chair). So we went to Toys R Us last night and got him a booster chair. […]

Things Kids Say

Friday, February 16th, 2007

The other day Ani was playing with Fritz and she flipped him over onto his back on the floor and got on her hands and knees above him. She said “I am the predator. You are the prey. I am going to eat you!”
We were talking about dinosaurs that still exist and […]

My first baby is 7 today!

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Ani’s 45 1/2″ tall and 38 pounds now. Still petite, but she grew 3 3/4″ and 3 pounds in the last year.

Happy 7th birthday Ani!
(The thing she is holding in her picture is a tube of sparkly Barbie lip gloss Cameron gave her for her birthday. She’s already had a tea party with […]
