Learning And Growing!

Our lives have become a little busier than I'm used to! Alison is growing so quickly! At her four month appointment a few weeks ago she was 15 pounds 12 ounces and 26 inches long. The day before the appointment she had grabbed a popsicle out of my hand and started sucking on it. When her doctor heard that, he laughed and said she was certainly ready to start on solids. So the messy fun begins! The boys were big helpers when we gave her her first rice cereal. Kyle is learning not to gag her!!! They both love her so much! Chad started preschool at our Elementary School on the 3rd. He goes Monday through Thursday from 8:30-11:30-It's FANTASTIC! He doesn't turn 5 until November, so we have another long year before Kindergarten. He was so excited to start..he didn't even need me when he was walking to school. I have to sign him in, so I just followed him as he confidently walked right to his locker and classroom. Yes, he has a locker in preschool! So cute! Chad has also decided he is ready to ride his bike without training wheels! Jeff was gone when he first did it, so I had to push him and then snap a picture. We went that evening to the school and gave him more space to ride free! What a big boy! Kyle is trying to keep up with him as well! After a few crashes, he decided it would be more fun to play on the playground, so we'll get more pictures of him later! After a week of having Chad at school I had the "opportunity" to put Kyle in a preschool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. (Something we BOTH need!) So my little guy started last Friday and he LOVED it! When I went to pick him up, he walked right past me to the car and said "I had FUN today Mom!" I didn't even have to ask! So, a few times a week, I will just have my little Alison, and my big boys will be off learning and growing without me! These new stages in life are GREAT!
