A New Year

Tuttle headed back to school yesterday as a first grader!

Despite it being way too early in the morning, he was excited to get to class. Maggie, Jacob, and I stayed to help with "Coffee and Kleenex" for new parents to the school. I loved seeing so many of my sweet friends with kindergarten students at the event.

After the school day was over Tuttle was eager to tell me about all the new things in first grade, especially the behavior system. He has the ability to earn coins for good behavior, and each afternoon the teacher pulls a winner from all the coins to earn special rewards. Tuttle told me he wants to choose a "No Homework" pass. :)

Maggie still has another month until preschool starts, but we went to the doctor last week for her four year checkout and to pick up preschool paperwork.

Maggie remains our teeny tiny peanut with a big personality. She is 28 pounds, 12.8 ounces (5%) and 38.75 inches (28%). Our brave girl had to get two shots and a finger prick, but she told the nurse as she walked in with the needles that "she liked shots." Her eyes might have welled up with tears, but Maggie refused to let herself cry. I bet she was the easist patient of the day!

With Tuttle in school, I get some time with only Jacob and Maggie. I know we will fill the month quickly with fun activities! You cannot get bored with these two babies around!
