Love is in the air

Ah, love is in the air. Valentine's was yesterday, and yes, Brandon delivered flowers to his wife and daughter along with chocolate. Flowers just make the house smell so good. Brandon received his annual Valentine's boxers. The tradition goes way back. Even though we didn't do anything like going out, we did have a family dinner all together and that was really nice. We had no interruptions for once and were able to just sit and relax for a moment. Those are the times to really cherish right now because peace and harmony in a house of small-children is extra sweet.

Jackson and Kaitlyn also attended a little party with friends Matthew and his brother Andrew and Caroline and her sister Hailey. It was great weather so we were able to eat outside, make hats and play in the sandbox. We were over at Matthew's house for four hours. I couldn't believe how long we were over there and the kids did really well, except for the usual shenanigans. Kaitlyn has to explore rooms that are off limits and has been pushing a little bit. She is still pretty tough when it comes to sharing and are working on it. I am sure Jackson will give her a run for her money as he gets older.





Kerri, Wendy and I actually had a couple of small conversations in between, how lucky were we! And Jackson did great and charmed everyone. He loved when the kids would stop and smile at him. They couldn't get over how relaxed and easy going he is. Yes, exact opposite of his older sister.

As usual, today I dropped Kaitlyn off at school and brought Jackson in to sit by the front desk as I walked her back to her class. He always makes a friend up there. Miss Tiffany and Miss Francine were just cooing up a storm with him and making him laugh. He was so happy and charmed the socks off of everyone there. Even other moms were stopping to check him out. He just eats up the attention!


In Kaitlyn news, she can sing her ABCs all the way through by herself. I was so excited to hear her do it at home for the first time this week! She has a hard time pronouncing l's and getting through the L,M,N,O,P part is funny, but she knows it well. Music has definitely been the highlight of the month since enrolling her in Kindermusik and singing at school. She asks about music class all of the time!

Kerri asked me yesterday if there was a difference between a boy and a girl, and that made me think. I guess yes there is, but right now it just seems as though they are just two different little people not because they are a boy or a girl. I just see their different personalities. I am sure as he gets older he will have different interests than Kaitlyn. Right now, I see that he loves to eat and eat and eat, but I have heard some baby girls do that too.
