Stats

I've got stats from A MONTH ago that must be recorded. Being a month late isn't such a big deal for Grey but who knows how different Wren is by now. Nevertheless, here they are...

Wren's Two Month Stats:
Weight: 11 lbs 15 oz (63%ile)
Height: 24 inches (91%ile)

Grey's Three Year Stats:
Weight: 32 lbs (52%ile)
Height: 38 inches (57%ile)


And for fun, the cake Dash and Liam decorated for Grey's birthday:

Pictures and Words

So I have several groups of photos ready to be blogged, I just have to come up with words to put with them. For instance, I have pictures from a playground- what do I say? Here we are at the playground. Dash at the playground, Liam at the playground, Grey at the playground, Wren fell asleep, The twins learned to hang from their legs, Grey was jealous. I'm just putting unnecessary words, explaining what's already obvious in the photos. I could come up with some profound, philosophical exposition or a funny anecdote that's unrelated to the photos, but I am currently uninspired. Nor do I want to detract from the photos. So. Here you go.

Kindergarten, what?!

Can you believe it, these kids started Kindergarten this year? I hardly can.

Liam and Dash highly anticipated their first day. I, however, broke out in sobs any time I thought about it too much.

All lined up with their class, ready to enter. And, yes, that's Grey lined up with them. Results of first day: Liam loved it! Dash loved it! Grey was surprisingly okay with it! Wren slept a lot. I cried less than I thought I would. Watching them walk away into the building was the hardest. Amazingly, Sean was on nights and could come with us that first day of drop-off. Plus, I went with Grey and Wren to have lunch with them. Helicopter Parenting? Yes, thank you.

We're a month in now and the twinners still enjoy school. They really like when they have recess and eat food, have their special classes like gym, music and STEM, and really like having all sorts of new friends. They've learned lots of new rules and are dedicated to following them. Their teacher is lovely. We just had our parent teacher conferences and she reports that they are doing swimmingly. I still miss them during the day but I have to admit, it's nice to have much less fighting amongst siblings. And Grey certainly likes having so much of my full attention. I think he might be getting tired of having to drive them back and forth from school every day, though. We're all adjusting but it's all in a positive direction!
