I thought I was going to make a nice change on my blog and seems that I messed it up. I will add that to my to do list...fix blog.
We have been extremely busy since school started. Lilly has dance on Tuesday's (tap, ballet, and clogging), church on Wednesday's (when we aren't too exhausted to go), and cheer leading on Thursdays. Lilly really LOVES dance and cheer leading so I guess we are just beginning the life of running all the time. Lilly usually CRASHES by 8:00 (another reason it is hard to go to church on Wednesday nights. We like to have baths and read before 8pm) Lilly does good at getting up using her alarm clock. In fact she gets up easier with the alarm clock than when I wake her up. I have been pleasantly surprised that Lilly eats lunch and breakfast at school. Since she goes with me each morning she usually eats breakfast after we get to school and that allows her to sleep a little later in the morning. Lilly riding with me does cut out my little bit of quiet time. I just love that Lilly loves school. She happily puts on her book bag each morning and walks to her class all by herself. I hear she socializes all the way to class and I guess this is why I got the boot. This past week Lilly lost her two front teeth. She pulled one herself and RoeRoe pulled the other. BOTH at school....she was excited. Lilly had her first cavity filled this past week and I was expecting A LOT of DRAMA....she didn't flinch or shed a tear. I was SOOOOOOOOOO PROUD Of what a trooper she was.
Jackson is ALL BOY and I am still AMAZED at the things boys will do. He LOVES to wear blue jeans and boots and shoot guns. FOr his birthday all he will say he wants is a T-Rex. This past week he did say he wanted a hunting gator (camouflaged gator). Hope he doesn't remember saying that because he is not getting that and his daddy doesn't hunt so he better hope Mr. Scott or Michael will take him hunting. He is not longer a baby/toddler. Definitely growing and so full of LOVE that I could just eat him up. HE can do the most mischievous things and yet smile and say I loves you Mama and that is all it takes. A few weeks ago Jonathan gave Jackson his first "real" spanking (from his Daddy) and Jackson's heart was broken. Jonathan was telling J to quit crying and listen and J went up and hugged (and patted his back) Jonathan and said "I am trying Daddy." It was sooooo sweet.
Jackson goes with Mama to see Meme at least every other day and according to Mama he is so good to have to sit. He goes up to one of the men and shakes their hand and talks to each resident as he passes them. I think Meme recognizes him some days but the good thing there is no matter what Jackson doesn't know and he loves and kisses her anyway! He is really a very loving little fellow and compassionate when others are hurting or upset. He is also a true little brother and terrorizes Lilly constantly.
Lilly and Jackson are getting much better at playing together. We went to the fair yesterday and Lilly would take Jackson's hand and help him onto each ride.
Sorry no recent pictures....I have been too busy. I didn't even take the camera to the fair, I decided to travel light. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will have new pics of toothless Lilly and Jackson turning 3.
