1. Loves 5th grade so much. I think it's because of his teacher. She's so cute and fun. Last week they did an information sheet where he said that Derek Jeter is his hero. I don't think he even knows who Derek Jeter is but guess who has a dog named Derek Jeter? His teacher!
2. Decided to study the Periodic Table of Elements the other day because it's fun and interesting and he just wanted to!
3. Has been reading the almanac lately and last night diagnosed himself with two different diseases. An eating disorder and depression. We had a little chat about the symptoms and came to the conclusion that he has neither.
4. Has been reading the Skeleton Creek series. Then subsequently has nightmares. Derek put a ban on reading them but I lifted it and told Brandon that his consequence for reading them was nightmares so...read on!
5. Has played "Tomcat Prowl" every morning on the piano. I might just burn that book. It did cost me 7 bucks though, so maybe not.

1. Loves her 1st grade teacher who was actually my 1st grade teacher and Brandon's 1st grade teacher also. I love her too! She's amazing.
2. Has worn her sparkly, sequiny, shoes to school every day even though I bought her 4 pair of sandals with backs to wear to school. Oh well, they'll go to a good home when she outgrows them and I can sneak them out of her room.
3. Is also reading the Skeleton Creek series. Loves them and isn't scared at all. She hasn't had one nightmare yet. She's my thrill-seeker-dare-devil-girly-girl.
4. She's a dilly-dallier in the morning. I'm going to have to start waking her up at 6 so that she'll be ready for school by 9.
5. Is so, so, so loving and helpful with J. She's going to be an awesome mom someday!
..J..
1. Has been spitting for a couple days now. I love to listen to him over the baby monitor when he just wakes up and decides to have a spitting contest with himself. It's priceless!
2. Found his toes a couple weeks ago but today I caught him putting them in his mouth. Love it!
3. Loves the Beatles. To put him to bed (for a nap or for the night) I sing "Here Comes the Sun", "Let it Be" and "Hey Jude". Just the right length for a snuggle and to put him to sleep.
4. Loves rice cereal and is sleeping through the night. The two go hand in hand. Hooray!
5. Will only be with us for about three more weeks. I'm so blessed to have been a part of his life up to this point. He has blessed our family beyond measure.
Melissa, is it true? Is it REALLY YOU?!?! yay!
