A Brief Update

Abby has completed her first week of 1st grade. We are so proud of her!!! She made a 100% on her spelling pre-test yesterday and is learning more challenging words this week. I think the funniest thing is the 1st grade drama!! Girls- what can I say. Abby tells me all about how her friend has 3 boyfriends and she tricked them into talking with each other. She also told me that she doesn't think anybody likes her. She spent 30 minutes talking to my mom about all of the drama!! She doesn't spend that much time talking to us. I guess I'm going to have to pry it out of her. She has already gotten something out of the treasure box and really LOVES swimming during gym. She will be sad when tomorrow is the last day. This brings us to the boys and some stories.

Both boys are walking a lot and can bend down to pick stuff up and stand back up. The really enjoy breaking the fence down- the fence is obviously not working like it did. Ben was doing something in our room and the boys broke the fence down and went into the kitchen because they were hungry. One funny story that happened tonight- Abby had finished her shower and we were all in the living room. (on a side note- the boys are scared to death of the vacuum cleaner and loud noises) Anyway- Abby was sitting in Ben's lap so he could dry her hair. When he turned the hair dryer on Blaine turned with wide eyes, a worried look and ran towards Ben screaming with his arms up. He kept looking at Abby and Ben yelling at them. I grabbed him and held him telling him that Abby was OK. He was so worried about her (I'm not sure what he thought the hair dryer was going to do) and when they were finished he walked over to Abby. She bent down held him and told him she was OK. He then sat with her and laid down beside her. She quietly thanked him for worrying about her and that she was OK. The whole time this was going on Christian was scared of the hair dryer and didn't look like he much cared what was happening to his sis!!!! It was so sweet!!!!!! We love these precious moments with the kids and wouldn't trade them for anything.
