May 31st

Today was a wonderful day. I took my 3rd baby (well almost 5 year old) to her Kindergarten Orientation at school today for a half hour. Smack dab in the middle of the day! From one until one thirty. We met in the library, we were introduced to the staff and the principal spoke. Then, the new kindergarten kids to be we escorted down the hall to the kindergarten class. Carly was the first child in line, followed by about 20 or more kids. I was so proud of her.

When the kindergarten teacher came back, I was looking for Carly and she did not come back with the group. So, I asked the teacher and she said she still must be in the class. So, we took a walk. And, in the classroom sat Carly with the current afternoon kindergarten class. She fit so well in there. The teacher Carly will most likely get is the teacher that Claire has, so she feels very good with her. I felt so happy to see her, my Carly, my big girl sitting there! Working away. She is so excited for September.

There is talk of a split class, which means Carly and Claire could be in a K/1 split together. I said I would let the teachers decide what is right for the girls and I trust them to make a good judgement call. I know Carly could handle an afternoon class 4 days a week, and then on the Friday an all day Class. We will know come September in the first week of school. Whatever teacher and class Carly gets, I am confident that she will thrive there. She is so ready. I am so happy for her. This is my third child to enter the school system. I think it gets easier each time lol.

There is also an outbreak of lice in Cameron's classroom. Lovely. So far, so good. We keep checking. There have been 3 cases so far. Let's hope they go away! Far FAR away.

I was at the doctor's today, visiting on Claire's behalf. She is having some tummy problems and so we are trying to fix her up. Today, she had mineral oil mixed with fruit juice. We did not tell her about the oil in the juice, and she did not notice it! Thank goodness. SCORE one for us! And we will try this for two more nights to see if she will be feeling less pain. Here is to hoping. I will give my doctor an update at my next prenatal appointment. *fingers crossed*

Caroline, well she is teething really hard, and is all snotty again. Darn it. She is currently working on 4 more teeth at the same time. Today I have not breastfed her at all! Could this be the day? We will see tomorrow.

Catie, well my little Catie-kins. She is growing up so nicely. I cannot believe that in September she is off to preschool and will be three years old. She is talking a lot, she sings, she dances and is a very happy and content little lady. She LOVES to wear dresses and skirts and jumps with glee when I pull an outfit out of her closet! So cute. Many people tell me she is my look-alike. All of the others definitely look like Cliff!

Well, as for myself, I am all stuffed up again. I don't think it is a cold, just pregnancy related stuffiness. Yup.

After the doctors appointment, I whipped over to Safeway for some quick stuff, order the cake and then came home made dinner. I then headed to Costco with my MIL to shop for party supplies and a few other items on the list. Everything is almost set for the weekend. I am excited to have family and friends over for a BBQ and celebrate Caroline turning one last month.

Tomorrow is already June 1st. Wow another month is here! Six months left until my due date of December 1st.
