Milestones

Wow -

What an incredible year to date. We have survived the first two weeks of school and it has been amazing for us all. Jaadyn is adjusting to Kindergarten better than I expected and loves it. Carter and I are getting to have Doug all to ourselves and also figuring out what to do with out brother. Doug is taking the changes the hardest. But, is finally getting some one-on-one time with Carter - which is priceless.

Jaadyn has not cried yet at school or at the thought of going. He is making friends fast and oh boy, has girls hugging and kissing him already. What is in store for us in MS and HS? I only cried briefly as we left the classroom the first day - and I did not let Jaadyn see. I was not as overwhelmed as I thought I would be and was more proud than anything! This week on Wednesday I just started dropping him off in front of the school - can you believe it. My Kindergartener can go into the school all my himself.

Jaadyn also mastered tieing his shoes last weekend. I was getting tired of tieing them for him - after about 1 month of wearing tie shoes. Wow! My Kindergartener can tie his own shoes!

Now, turning attention to Carter - he is walking everywhere!!! He is at the point where he would rather walk than crawl. He has the cutest little duck waddle. And with a cloth diaper on it is even cuter! He is also getting more challenging everyday as we get closer to the terrible twos - what do they call difficult ones I wonder? But, he is mine and I would not give him up for the world. Oh, and can he pitch a fit! Jaadyn never threw tantrums like Carter. Crazy the differences between these two.
