School begins.....





Grayson started 3rd grade a few weeks ago. He is growing up too quickly! He loves his teacher - Mrs. Whitcomb. They have been learning about Monarch Butterflies which completely fascinates Grayson. They even have caterpiller cocoons in their classroom and will get to watch them morph. I've learned more about butterflies than I ever thought possible. For After-school activities, he goes to speech twice a week at ISU -30 min each and still sees his tutor, Miss Brawner, once a week. Then he is going to be part of the Chess Club again this year and part of the Garden Club at school. He still loves the after-school program (and before-school program) because he gets to play with friends.

Aleigha started at a new babysitter's house when school started. So far, it is going well. There are 2 other 2 yr old boys and a 9 mo old baby. Aleigha started wearing underwear over Memorial Day weekend! It is quite an accomplishment. She still has a few accidents but, in general, she is doing very well! She loves wearing panties. She has Elmo, Dora, Princess and Minnie Mouse underwear. Elmo seems to be her favorite this week. I bribed her with M&M's or dum-dum suckers every time she went in the potty. Whatever works....... :)
