Updates - 7/28 - 8/30

8/30 - Landon has first day of PreK today. He has Ms Nancy for Mobile PreK and currently there are 7 kids in his class including him. He seemed to like it today, but really liked having Stay and Play with Justin. He also gets to see friends Liam, Jack and Chloe for the first 15 minutes as they all play together for the first activity

Kasey is learning more and more words. She said bus today and said hug last night.

8/27 - We went to meet Landon's new teacher Ms Nancy. I can't believe he's starting PreK. He will go to school 5 days a week.

8/15 - We to Amigos for dinner to celebrate Grandma's birthday. Then we went back to Grandmas to have Cobbler. Landon stayed at Grandma and Pops house because he was going to be there Monday while Greg worked

8/14 - we had busy day. Gary, Marisela, Haley and Ashlyn came in for the weekend. They came to Landon's soccer game that morning. The last few games Landon hasn't really been into playing like he was really into it. We told him to play well because his cousins came all the way to see him play soccer. He scored 2 goals and played pretty well.

After the game we went to Landon's Galaxy soccer team party at Gatti Town in Frisco. The kids had a good time playing and eating.

After that we went home for Kasey to take a nap, and Landon and I went to William from down the street birthday party.

After the party we met up with Grammy, Gramps, Marisela, Gary, Haley & Ashley at Great Wolf Lodge. We had dinner and let the kids play around. The kids got to play with wands, and then we stayed for storytime which the kids really enjoyed. It was fun to see everyone and let the kids hang out some.

8/11 - Tonight Kasey said fish and brush.

8/10 - Kasey started saying more words like eyes/mouth - she's been saying before, but also nose and ears. She also says the letter B. If we sing the ABC song she sings along to the tune but just says B. It's pretty cute.

Greg said that she was looking around the corner and would say Boo.

8/5 - For the past several months we've (mainly Greg) have been sitting in Kasey's room when it was time for her to go to bed sometimes up to 45 minutes. Part of the reason was that she would just throw a fit, and the other part because she kept throwing her blanket out. Last night she figured out how to pick up her own blanket if she threw it out and did that a couple times. Greg left her to go to sleep on her own. She cried for about 10 minutes then went to sleep just fine. Tonight I read her one of her favorite books - 3 little fish and the Big Bad shark, and then put her in bed. She was down and quiet in about 6 minutes.

Landon is on a trend to not mind right now. Everything from not eating at dinner to not listening when we tell him to stop dong something. We threaten to take away his blanket which really only works after we say we've taken it away. We've ended up with zero changes left the last several nights. Hopefully it's just a phase.

Landon likes getting money for his piggy bank. He knows what a dime and a penny are and what they are worth.

7/31 - 8/1 - We took the kids to see Grandpa. They were excited to go on a plane. We stayed at Grandpas house but went to visit him at his new place as well. The kids got to play putt putt golf. We also hung out some at Grandpas house and he got to see the kids play. Sunday we went to Nadines and she made a nice dinner before we left. Grandpa really enjoyed the kids and the hugs.

7/30 - Greg and I went to coaches night. It was at a new location downtown. Food wasn't quite the same, but the noise was better. We didn't get anything at the Auction - which is a first for us. We had fun though.

7/28 - Landon passed his first word list in phonics and moved on to his second one. The words he knows now are at, bat, cat, fat, had, mat, pat, rat and sat
