Julian's first day of school
She's so funny, giving a big laugh. She actually wore the bow for a whole 10 minutes also.
Looks like driving Ms Daisy

I know I keep saying it but I don't know where the time goes. Suddenly it is the end of the day, and I'm just ready to go to bed. We've been very busy lately.
Julian started playing Flag football this August. He was having practice 3 days a week from 6:30-8. (not prime time for me to have to take the babies with me). He's been doing great. It has been so fun watching 20+ kids (5-6 yrs old) learn how to play and have so much fun. Some of the kids played last year, but we got here too late to sign up. It's been a blast watching him interact with the other kids, and he is already soooooo interested in the cheerleaders. At the first game, he asked the team mom what the cheerleaders were doing at the game and she said they were there for them and he was so excited. I'm already thinking of the future with a teenage boy wooing after the girls. He also had their first game this past Sunday. He did so good and chris and I were so impressed with him. I never thought I would like to watch my son play football but it was really neat and a good chance for our family to get out and meet people and get involved here. I have met some really nice mom's and hoping to get more involved this year now that the babies are a little older. We also started our first week of 1st grade this past Monday. I can't believe he's already in 1st grade. He's becoming a little boy instead of my baby. He now goes all day everyday and we are getting used to that schedule. It is long days, especially with football and speech after school some days, but hopefully he will continue to do good. He told me last night when we finally got home at 8 pm that he didn't like school because he missed me so much while he was gone. I know he was just over tired and he gets very attached the more tired he is. This is a big change for him though. Usually he has just gone to school for a couple hours a day and then he's home with me. Just another transition he's going to have to make it through. Thank goodness he is such a social butterfly and finds friends easily and loves to interact with others. He told me his teacher called him Mr. Chatty Kathy on his first day of school. I'm waiting for the note home that says he talks to much. It always comes. He is also into "big boy" shows on TV instead of cartoons. I miss seeing the cartoons, and want him to stay my "little boy".
We also had a recent trip to the eye doctor for Julian. He had been telling me that his eyes get blurry every once in a while. The doctor said he did have astigmatism in both eyes but he didn't think his vision needed corrected lens yet. That was good. I didn't feel like having him have to go through that yet. We just have to keep an eye on it.
Alex and Lilly are doing great. Both are busy walkers and all over the place. We started going to the Little Gym to take classes and let them have some fun outside the house. Lilly was so excited when she was finally able to go inside the gym instead of just looking through the door at Julian. Lilly is so independent she just goes from one activity to the next. I think she is going to be a little gymnast when she gets bigger. Alex is still very clingy there, but does let me put him down every once in a while to do some activities. I used to take these classes with Julian when we were in SC and he had so much fun. I'm glad I'm able to take the babies as well and do something special with them. They are getting to be little toddlers. Alex just cut 3 molars and I'm sure Lilly's are on the way. It's so much fun to watch their little minds work, they are so smart. They listen and follow directions, and explore and babble. We haven't really started talking yet, but really do understand everything. It will be nice when they can start communicating more.
We did meet with nutritionist about Lilly. She gave me some tips of trying to add calories to what she will eat. Our problem is how much she eats vs what she eats. she just doesn't like to sit down and eat. Plus, it doesn't help that she is so incredibly active that she burns off more calories than I can get her. It's bad when I go to the grocery store and look for snacks with alot of calories. Poor Alex, is going to have a weight problem one day because I try to find the most caloric food as possible. Hopefully she will start to like to eat more soon. but it is so fun watching them grow and change.
