Harlie had her kindergarten Assessment today. Tyson took her, she went in with the teacher who asked her some questions. Well the teacher came out and told Tyson that Harlie had taught her something, that she needed to word her question better. The teacher had asked "If I have three squares, and I add one more..How many Squares do you have"
To which Harlie replied.."I don't have Any, You have them all"
The teacher then told Tyson that she needed to word her question differently to get Harlie to answer "4" which she did.
Harlie then told Tyson "she spelled my name with a "Y" Tyson: "Did you tell her how to spell it" Harlie:" No, But I wrote it down for her"
ha ha is this what I have to look forward to this school year? Harlie is going to be a fun student is all I've got to say.
SO as some of you know I have been very stressed about what to do when Harlie starts school at the end of the month. I have been stressed about it since I registered her back in February. Well an opportunity to tend 2 adorable girls in the mornings from m-f has come up and I will be staying home m-f (and sundays) with my babies. I will still be working Saturdays for awhile but I will mostly be a stay at home mom, and I feel very blessed. Ever since Tyson and I made this decision things have been falling into place for this to work. And I know I have a heavenly father who is making it happen. He hears and answers prayers..And not just for me. I can't wait to be able to walk Harlie to the Bus and Pick her up every day!!!
We had a crazy summer storm yesterday. Crazy amounts of hail, the picture is a quarter laying on the ground so you can see the size, and the lightning show was gorgeous! (I didn't catch much of it cuz I was working on something else) Harlie and Luke thought they wanted to play in the hail (they love playing in the rain) until they opened the front door and started getting pelted.
When Harlie was born, I learned how to be a mom, Tyson and I learned how to be a family.. Then came Luke, What Lucas taught us is how to be parents to a boy, that each child is different and that it was a good thing there was a parent for each kid, and when there wasn't, there was at least one parent with a hand for each kid...So there really isn't much a second girl will teach right? Wrong! Madison came and she taught us that there is a rainbow during a storm...And you know the old saying about how high stress pregnancies create high stress, fussy babies..Wrong again, I don't know of many ways (though there are a few) that a pregnancy could have been higher stress..And yet Madison is the most happy laid back baby I could have asked for..She is such a blessing to our family and a reminder that life is a circle, that when something is lost, something is given.
From the beginning Madi only cried when she needed something, she fell easily into a sleep/eat/wake cycle, slept through the night by 8 weeks...and I mean ALL night. Madi has taught me that no matter how dark the night the sun always shines through in the morning. That those 2 parents are now out numbered. That having a third arm may look funny but it would come in very handy. And that when those happy, easy babies get mobile..they make up for every moment they were once peaceful.
Madison loves, all things food. She thinks all things ARE food. She loves to tease, she will let her Daddy almost give her a kiss each night, then as soon as his lips touch her cheek she moves her head...When asked to say mama, she will always say dad, though I know she knows how to say mama. She loves her big brother and big sister, and they love her dearly. She is walking between and around on walls and objects and any day now she will be completely mobile. Madison loves to stack things and though she is a girl she loves to play with cars. She loves to play with whatever Harlie and Luke are playing with and you can tell how big she feels when they let her in on the fun. Madison LOVES music, she will dance and sing along with any and all music that is played. And in her worst of moods you can always calm her down with music. Madi has a way of cuddling against you and making you feel loved. She has a smile that can melt away the worst of moods and her "fits" are more entertaining than annoying. I am so grateful for her beautiful spirit and the wonderful addition she is to our family...WE LOVE YOU! Happy Birthday my big 1 Year old!
