Our Little Music Man...

Just a few minutes ago...I put new batteries in our little toy piano as Aidan was trying to play and sing. I don't think Aidan has ever played with the piano with working batteries, so he didn't even know what it would do! (Ooops! I think toys with batteries get changed a lot less the more kids I have!) Once, the batteries were changed, he went and grabbed a toy guitar and handed it to me to play and then he went back to the piano to play and sing. If I put the guitar down to take a picture, he would get up and put it back in my hands & start pushing buttons on it showing me what to do, then go back to the piano! He's got the idea at just 15 months! So, we had a little band practice, right then!

I Wonder Where He Gets This?

First Day of Kindergarten!!!

Wow! I still have trouble believing it, but Abby is now in Kindergarten! Where has the time gone? Is she really that old? Am I really old enough to have a Kindergartener?

Abby started Kindergarten last Wednesday & is absolutely loving school! I knew she would as she loves to learn & loves making new friends!

I do have to say, though, it was not easy letting her get on the bus that first morning! I kept my composure until she was up the steps of the bus and couldn't see my face close enough to know that I was about to lose it. She just looked so small climbing those HUGE steps on to that big bus! It took everything in me not to follow that bus all the way to school!
