The kids

Trent has been going to kindergarten now for almost two months. I think he likes it even though he really doesn’t tell me much about what they do. Pretty much everyday when I ask him what his favorite part of school was that day he says "recess". Isn’t that how it always goes. I ask him what they do and he said the girls chase the boys around the playground – who teaches them this? He told me about this girl that said she was really fast, then he told me that she couldn’t catch him because he did what Ray told him to do, and I said what is that "I move my arms so I can run fast". He still likes to do "crafts" as he calls it. He is very creative. He made this last night.

Tyler goes to preschool 3 times a week and really likes it. His teacher told me that she sees a huge difference between him and Trent. She said he pays attention and is right with her as she is teaching – Trent was kind of off in his own little world. She also told me that she tested him on his "sounds" and he knew all but 4 , I was surprised. He likes to do his "letters" on this website = www.starfall.com At this rate he might be reading before Trent. He also still likes to have battles and wear his helmet. He put his helmet on over his coat – nice.

Kara is a little wiggle worm and just can’t hold still. She is always on the go, crawling, walking around furniture , pushing her walker toy and getting everything. I found her in the bathroom the other day and she had unrolled the whole roll of toilet paper. I am also at a loss as to what to do with her hair to make her look more like a girl. I think she got my ears, and her hair kind of pokes out over it. I am tempted to cut it , but I want it to grow longer. I tried to put little pigtails in it but it was hard because she will NOT hold still. I think it looks kind of cute. She also HATES having anything on her head, hats, headbands, etc. Her hair has come in the most right down the middle of her head and Ray thinks she looks like she has a mow-hawk – hopefully it will grow in thicker. She is a pretty happy baby and thinks things are funny especially when I play with her. I try to get her to walk to me and she gets so excited. She also LOVES to stick out her tongue. She really has done this since birth. Most of the pictures I take she has her tongue sticking out. Here is one with her tongue!
