Day One. Total photos taken today: exactly 100 (!!)



I want to remember…how the present Mark and I got to save for J’s birthday was discovered and he couldn’t wait to give it a try.  They played happily for almost an hour, growing and cutting hair.  I love how J calls Playdough his “clay”.
I want to remember… that Playdough is messy.  So messy.



I want to remember… how much the kids are enjoying school.  We are slowly finding a groove and a routine is forming.  I definitely was unprepared for the little two’s desire to participate, but what a blessing.  I love seeing their four faces around the table, hard at work.   
I want to remember… the rules that were told to me when I asked the boys how we act on a playdate: “No fighting.  No gettin’ angry.  Be respectful.  Take care of our brothers…and our Sophie!”



I want to remember… how hilarious Sophia can be.  Everyday, she says something that just cracks me up.  Today, I overheard her tell TJ, “You gotta kiddin’ me, dude!”  Later on, I could hear her giggling as she would peek out at me in the kitchen.  When I asked her what she was doing, she ran to the other side of the room, yelling, “I a neen-ja!”
I want to remember… starting a new read-aloud and listening to the boys belly laugh around me.  They had me read a particularly funny part over and over.
