James Starts Kindergarten!

Wow, my first baby started Kindergarten this year, I can't believe it!! We were lucky to get into the only all day class up here also. It is brand new, and we entered the lottery on a whim, and got in! I wasn't sure at first if we wanted to accept the spot or not, but I am really happy that we have. He loves his teacher who is new here this year, but has over 20years of experience. She is great and he has just blossomed under her. It is the beginning of having kids in school and all that brings :)

James starting to get upset and his lower lip quivering:
M: What's wrong honey?
J: "My birthday's gone."
M: "What?"
J: "My birthday's gone, we gotta go get it."
M: "Buddy, you'll have another birthday in July, everyone gets a birthday every year."
Lower lip stops trembling
J: "Oh, that's good"

James' prayers usually go like this: "Dear Heavenly Father, Thank thee for this day, Thank thee for Tractors, Thank thee for Mommy, Daddy, James, and Jack-Jack, Name of Jesus Christ, Amen"

We've put both the kids in the same room. Jack was crying for a second tonight, and James said "Jack lay down"

At Costco there are some dump trucks. James really wants one. Here's our conversation about them:
J: I need one Mommy
M: Well, Christmas is coming, we can ask Santa for one.
J: But Santa's not here, Mommy's here.
Mommy can we get one?

Now that Santa has been introduced...
M: James, guess who's coming to dinner on Sunday?
J: Santa?
M: No, Aunt Kirstin!
J: Oh, we need Santa to tell him about the dump truck.

Oct 2012 The other night while reading a bedtime story, James picked his nose, and Mommy tried to teach him a lesson about boogers...
Mommy: James we don't eat boogers, they are yucky, we wipe them on a tissue.
James: No, they are yummy.
M: No! They are yucky, we don't eat them.
J: No, they are yummy, we gotta cook them!
