Alyssa Ready for Kindergarten?

Yesterday was Kindergarten registration - and Alyssa is officially signed up. I think I still have a cramp in my hands filling out all of the paperwork. Today she had 3 shots - one in her leg and 2 in her arm. We talked about it ahead of time, but she didn't remember what a shot felt like. She was okay with the first one, but then started crying for the last 2. It is so hard to see them cry. When we got home she ate 2 Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies - so that made it feel better. She is so ready for Kind to start, she would get on the bus tomorrow if she could.

For some reason, it is harder for me to imagine that she is 5 years old. Maybe it is because she is so tiny, but I think I will have a harder time letting her get on the bus the first day of school than I did Micaela. Luckily I have a few more months!

Josiah the Helper

Thursday after work, Jason was working on the garage door. The sensor wire had come out and the door was not shutting becuase the "eye" thought something was in the way. Josiah was watching TV when he realized that Daddy was in the garage. He went and got his shoes on all by himself (on the wrong feet), got his coat, then went upstairs to get his "ooos." He came down with his tools and went to the garage to "Help you Daddy." I was really sweet.
