Big Girl Bed

Oh it's September already?! Whoa Nelly.  The kids and I have had 12 whole weeks of summer fun, and I think we're all ready for school to resume!  The other day, we took Henry to his kinder orientation at his new school, and he is beside himself with excitement.  And we are equally excited to know that he has the teacher we requested (Alison's old teacher!).  Alison is eager for 2nd grade, and Kate is growing up way too fast.  Every day she has a new word or saying, and she's definitely going through her language "explosion!" For sure.

Oh, and we bought her a big girl bed (after several rounds of her climbing out and about).   She's super proud to have her own bed, and if you're a mama or papa of a little one, you know that graduating to a big kid bed is exciting stuff.  And I'm sure you also know that once the confines of a crib are gone, the trick is to get the child to actually stay in the bed.   Well, Kate?  She's the only one of our kidlets who has decided that staying in bed is A-OK.  So  a big WHEW on that one!  Here's a peek at her pretending to sleep (what a ham).

Summer has been hopping busy for the shop, and it's felt like Christmas around here. I've also been doing a lot of investigation, and hopefully soon I'll have some new goodies in store for you. And you, and you, and you!

Let's see what else?  Um, not much!  Just enjoying the last bits of summer before heading back to the routines and rhythms of fall.   Hope you enjoy your last days too.

What a beautiful pillow! And either your little one has great taste, or she didn't choose her bed :) My daughter chose her big girl bed - and it shows.

Kate just keeps getting cuter & cuter every time I see her. It's been a busy August for me too!

Wasn't it just the other day that Kate was a BABY?! Could you please tell your children to stop growing...it's making me feel OLD. ;)

[joyce]

[Yvonne]

[jes]

[Kathleen]

Oh my gosh, she is the cutest.... I can't belive how fast she's growing up!

[monica]

don't they grow up fast... we're delaying the 'move' for as long as possible. For sentimental and practical reasons!! I don't think No 3 will be a 'stayer' in bed type...
