First Entry -1/12/10

Life seems to fly by. Every day is over before I know it. I want to record every moment and be able to cherish it forever. So I started this blog to do just that. I want to look back years from now and read about all those little things that are so easy to forget. And I want my kids to have this as a keepsake of their childhood. My hope is that they can read my blogs one day and laugh, cry, or just remember their childhood.
So here goes......
As I sit here Avery is laying on the ottoman, cooing and gurgling. She is so tired but is fighting it. I don't mind. I see it as our little time together after the big kids are in bed.
Poor baby had her 4 month checkup at the dr. yesterday and had 3 shots. She's had a rough 24 hours. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Kaylis had her 1st day back at dance class today. She wore her new shoes, leotard and tights. It was great to see her learning new dance steps. She really loves it. I look forward to seeing how she grows in her dance abilities this year and can't wait til Nov. for her next recital.
Matthew is doing so great in school. I can tell he really tries. He's just a great kid overall. I wish I could say the same thing about other kids. Yesterday he had a conflict with a kid on the bus and ended up in the principal's office to talk about it and a few kids laughed at his new haircut. Today he said another boy embarassed him on the bus and some other kids were laughing. He takes it with a grain of salt and doesn't let it bother him too much. Boy it's tough to be a kid. All I wish is that he can find a way to shrug it off and still be who he is.
