Tattle Tale

This morning Waneeke woke up and wanted to know the numbers to push so that she could call Grandma. I asked which Grandma and she pointed her finger in the direction of my Mom. It wasn't even 8am yet and so I put her off for now.

She asked again in the afternoon and I put her off again, until I was able to talk too.

Shortly before supper we gave her a call. When Waneeke got on the phone, I was listening to her conversation, while feeding the baby.

This is what I heard.

I told Mom that I wanted a hang-glider, and she said, "No."
I told Mom that I wanted a scooter, and she said, "No."
I told Mom that I wanted a lion, and she said, "No." It is at the store, she got groceries instead.

When I got the phone back my Mom was quite amused that I was just told on.

Koivu's first day

It was Koivu's first day of school was today. We got his shoes changed, his jacket off, his bag hung up, and he was off. He barely had time to say good bye to me. I'm so glad he was happy to go.

When I picked him up, he was sitting nicely at his spot waiting for me. He was just as happy to come home as he was to go to school. That was also nice.

They made a little certificate about having a good day at Pre-k.

I really like the school he is in now, but in the nearish future he will be changing schools to go to the one that Waneeke is going to. He'll be happy because he can take the bus.

The Wish List

Honestly. I mean really. Does this have to start already? I get that W's birthday is only a couple of months away but does she really need to start putting things on her wish list already?

Last week I was putting the baby to sleep and she came up to me and asked me for a triangle that has handles and can fly. I thought it was her kite and told her where it was. No, no, Mom. Off she went to draw a picture of what she was talking about. This picture came back, it had a top view of a triangle, a side view of the handle bars. Yes, she wanted a hang glider.

She decided that with her blueprints(my word, not hers) that we could build her a hang glider and then she could fly to school. It would work with a hang glider, school isn't that far away, she assured me.

After about a week of her asking us for a hang glider, she has given up and has decided to put it on her wish list.

Back at it

So I decided to do this again. I don't know, I like talking about my kids but then, sometimes all I do is talk about my kids.

W starts back to school tomorrow. Really, this is her first day of kindergarten. Last year she was in pre-k in an actual school, so the school setting isn't new for her but riding the bus, walking around to the back outside doors to go in, staying all day, this is all new for her.

Today we have a few more things to pick up off of her school list. Really, I have already purchased everything but some of it was too tempting to keep their hands off of so we have to go repurchase.
