Backwards

The baby is writing her name, but she's doing it backwards the way they do when they're just starting out. Here she is planning where the letters will go!

Step 1

The little guy made an illustrated "How to Get Ready for School" booklet this morning. I can't seem to find it, but when I do I'll post a picture. The best part of it was the first step.

Step 1: Get naked and yawn.

I'll repeat-- this was an illustrated guide. He's so funny.

Shun, Un-shun

As cute as the little dude is...

... he was almost disowned today. He brought his October workbook home, and this is what we found.

He wants a cat! What??! He even confirmed that he wants a cat. We were like, yeah-- no. Absolutely not. (By the way, have you seen this?) While we were discussing shunning him until he becomes a dog person, I flipped to the last page in his journal.

He's back in. Pancake ice cream? That's my boy!

Picnics and such

I finally had my act together enough to pack a dinner instead of picking up McD's before Eric's softball game last week. Wahoo! Unfortunately, yogurt is a TERRIBLE picnic food. Everything was a mess.

Anyway, I got home the other day from something, and the little dude had taped the following sign to the stroller.

In case you can't read his writing or interpret his spelling, it says "No one is allowed to use the stroller." He was quite worried about other people using our stroller, but luckily I'm not included in the "no one."

What a Stinker!

The little guy came home from school with a note today. He dictated it and his teacher wrote it down. It said:

Dear Eric,

[Little Booger] was good all day. I hope you were good at [your company].

From.
Mrs. J

That kid. Seriously, what a little stinkpot.

This and That

The baby is eating bananas again. She'd refused them for a little while, but now she's able to pick up banana slices and eat them by herself.

The little guy is typing now! He can type his first and last name, usually surrounded by strings of random letters and numbers. Sometimes it seems like he's getting so big, but then he can still sit in a chair like this:
