Emily has been loving Kindergarten, she is becoming quite the little reader. She loves sounding out the words she sees as we drive down the road as well as reading books to Caleb. She also is very persistent when it comes to her homework- some how my procrastination gene skipped over her, hopefully that is lifelong! Her latest favorites are: Chinese casserole, Barbies, Ponies, and babies. She got two really pretty dolls this Christmas as well as a diaper bag- and she has been loving being a mom to all of her babies. She is still a little social butterfly- and is enjoying dancing around everywhere- hopefully next year we can get her into a dance class.
Caleb is full of funny anecdotes. The other day as we were driving through campus we ran into (not literally) five deer. Caleb explained in a matter-of-fact monotone that those were "Rudolfs with no antlers, and he growed bigger. But we cant run over the baby Rudolfs because his mom and dad would be sad. But we could run over Rudolfs mom and dad." I just had to shake my head and smile- sometimes the things that boy comes up with. He does have a very lively imagination- which he uses to create stories and play phenomenally. He is starting at a new daycare/preschool on Monday- he is very excited. In fact, we had to go and buy him a back pack, because according to him "Mine other back back got loosed by the car" Right now everything is being "loosed by the car" He is fascinated still with trains, and trucks and tractors- but has expanded into tools- what a boy! He loves his miniature tape measure and is measuring everything in the house. He is also identifying letters, he has 20 out of 26 so far and is starting to name every letter in every sign we see. He even surprised us over Christmas break by reading the words: "Stop, Cat, Go, and the rhyme -un" He always seems to amaze me.
My first semester went well- there were a lot of changes- and a lot of things I have learned. I am really enjoying the program I am in and the people I am getting to know throughout the program. I went from not dating to dating to being engaged to being un-engaged and back to not dating all in one semester...that was interesting... I start in the clinic this next semester- I am a little scared, but have been reassured by some friends in the court and my class buddies that we will all survive! So here goes!!
