Channeling Hugh Hefner

Where's a corn cob bubble pipe when you need one?

First Day of School

We enrolled Genevieve in school a few weeks ago. The class is only twice a week for 2.5 hours per session. We had to go in for orientation to learn how the class was structured. The class is designed to help G transition to school without mommy. Carrie sits on the sidelines and can interact with Genevieve only when G comes to get her. Once G stops going to Carrie for comfort Carrie must stay in the hallway. At which point G can go into the hall for comfort. After G stops going into the hall, Carrie is free to drop her off and only return when class is over.

We were required to give Genevieve a backpack. The teachers said it is so the kids can feel more mature since they see the older kids with backpacks. She isn't even two and we have to worry about her feeling more mature? Oh well. Here is G modeling a backpack that she received as a gift when we were in Israel.

Somebody Call Child Services

This baby needs a car seat or possibly a side car.

Genevieve has a virus and was definitely not in the mood to see the doctor. She screamed and cried the whole time. The doctor was amused with Genevieve trying to calm herself by constantly saying, "It's OK. It's OK. It's Ohhhhhhh-Kayyyyyyyyy!!!" I'm pretty sure the height measurement is off since Genevieve kept clawing her way past the nurse in hopes that I would pick her up again. When the measuring was over Genevieve clung to me for dear life, heedless of any of the, "Mommy can't breathe!" comments coming from me.

The doctor said that Genevieve seems to be fine otherwise and believes she is doing very well developmentally.

I will post pictures soon. Unfortunately right now the computer is refusing to recognize the camera memory card reader. Maybe it said the computer was fat.

Understanding each other

They say that in order to understand someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. But what if their shoes are too big for you and they keep falling off and you don't really get much further than a few feet?



Well, maybe G already understands her Grandpa so she doesn't need to walk that far. Perhaps he should try walking a mile in her shoes.
