The princess is ready for school!

This goofy princess is ready for school! Yes, this is her school attire :)

Alexa in dance class

Alexa LOVES her dance class. Even more so that I bought her some tap shoes!!

Tapping bear-bear

Alexa's bear put on her tap shoes and danced for us!

Being goofy on our walk home

These two were being complete goofs on our walk home from Nolan's school (or should I say *my* walk home, as both kids decided they wanted to be in the stroller).
They are adorably funny!

"Yorsonodee, Dad"

Apparently Francis must have redeemed himself. "Yorsonodee, Dad" (read: you're so naughty, dad) is crossed out.
Nolan is too funny.

Celebrate with frozen yogurt!

Today Francis & I went to Nolan's parent-teacher conference. We were extremely happy to hear that Nolan's behavior has really improved! He has not been hitting kids (either playfully or out of frustration), has stopped putting his hands over his ears when the teacher was saying something he didn't want to hear, and has started to take himself out of situations when he would get too frustrated (versus having a mini meltdown).
He has really been working hard the past few months, and we were really excited to see the improvement!
So that, of course, translates into big cups of frozen yogurt (with ALL the fixings he desired) for DINNER!

Happy kids!

"I love you as big as the world..."

Nolan's sweet note to "mommy, daddy, and Alexa"

Silly goggle boy!

He looks special ;)

Nolan's double-digit addition/subtraction?

Nolan can already do double-digit addition!

Alexa has a "poo poo chart" to track he times she poops on the toilet - when she gets to 40, she gets a "poo poo parade". (This whole fabulous poo party was thought up by Nolan. He makes me giggle)

Anyway, i was saying how she now has 20 stamps on her poo chart. And Nolan says, "great job, Alexa, now you just need 20 more!"

I said, "wow, Nolan, that's really good math! Did you learn to add big numbers at school already?"
He said, "no, I just think about it."

I then proceed to ask him several double digit addition problems like 20+30 and 20+40. He answered those correctly without even skipping a beat!

Wow, that kid. Only in TK and impressing the hell out of me!

Alexa has "style"

>>> Alexa has quite the fashion eye!

Some morning jokes

These two were just cracking each other up over their morning crackers and milk.
