Open House
Last night was open house at Rutledge. Brandon and Aidan met their new teachers. Brandons' teacher's name is Ms Greenlee and Aidan's is Ms Rahe (pronounced Ray).
Both were very excited to find that they had good friends in class with them. Brandon & Nathan are together again and Aidan has Mason & Samir from his Kinder class. The three boys were ridiculously excited to see each other and had to be tranquilized to get them to leave :)
Aidan asked me four times last night, "How many days till school starts?"

Batting eyelashes. ...
One day last week Clara demonstrated her eyelash-batting abilities. If this is any indicator, we are in for a very rough time. She completely won us over to whatever she was trying to get. That part has escaped us, all we remember is how cute she looked.

Clara wiped this toddler meal out in 1 minute flat; Toddler sized meals are clearly not enough food anymore.

Aidan, the diplomat
Aidan was sitting behind me tonight and was having fun "spanking" me on my bottom. It was funny until he asked, "Why's your butt so 'move-y'?"

talk, talk, talk
Aidan to Devlin: I'm just not as much of a talker [as you].
Understatement of the week. ;)
Cotton candy!!!!

Elmo Baby
Clara has developed an attachment to a stuffed Elmo at home. Elmo has become her baby - she puts it "night-night", changes his diaper, shares her milk with him and just this morning, tried to share her oatmeal with him. I had to quickly find Elmo his own bowl and spoon so that I didn't have to try to find a way to get oatmeal out of Elmo's fur! It's very cute to watch her being Mama to Elmo.
Devlin's Big Trip
Devlin took his first big trip without either of his parents. He went to South Padre with his friend Chase and his family. They were gone for five days and he had a great time. By the end of the week though, he was missing everyone and ready to come
Only four weeks until he's a teenager! OMG!

When I'm Six
Last night Aidan, Clara, Mom and I went swimming. Afterwards, Aidan was wrapped up in a towel and asked to sit in my lap. He and I sat by the pool rocking in a chair. I asked him, "Will you still sit in my lap when you're six?"
"No," he said. "But I'll sit next to you sometimes."
I guess my little boy is growing up but for the next seven days he’s still ok cuddling with me.

Clara makes it better
Last night I caught my fingernail on something and ripped a chunk out of it. My reaction was “OW” and Clara noticed. She reached over and grabbed my finger and kissed it for me. A kiss makes everything better. This little moment made my night.

Clara earrings.
Clara just got her ears pierced at the dr office. She's doing fine. Cried but is happy now. James will be ok. The dr said his guilt should go away after a day or two. ;)

Clara hasn't quite mastered licking the bowl yet but it doesn't stop her from trying. Note the oatmeal from forehead to chin. ;)
