Carly quote of the day - September 13

Carly went to the office with Dad today. She focused on coloring and taping a large stack of scrap paper while Dad worked. She also made several runs to the water cooler for refreshment. The water cooler at Dad's office has two spouts - hot and cold. Carly was extremely interested in someone trying out the hot side. After Dad declined this offer for the 3rd-4th time, Carly stared at him long and hard. She finally said: "Dad, you like hot biscuits, don't you??" Dad reluctantly agreed. "Well, then maybe you'll like hot water too. Why don't I get you some?" Faced with such an airtight argument, Dad accepted a large cup of hot water. Needless to say, Carly was thrilled with her victory in this exchange. The water turned out to be room temperature anyway.

Maggie's baptism

Maggie was such a trooper for her baptism. She was sooo tired. She's such a snuggler & I think you get a glimpse of that in this pic.

New Hair Styles

Carly is really into 2 new hairstyles....a side braid and a head band.

First Day of Preschool

Carly started her new 3 year old class on Monday. She seems to enjoy going. I'm still getting adjusted to sending her every day...but also enjoying getting to some of the items on my to-do list. Carly said that she needed to wear a "party dress" to school on the first day...and this is what she chose. She was also adamant about wearing the head band. Her main complaint about the 3 year old class is that the teachers will not push them on the swings. There's also a "bad boy" that likes to dump sand in her hair and chase her around the playground. Her plan today was to run away if he came near the sand box.
