Can we keep her?

I just recently started sitting for a 6 month old baby girl full time. I was explaining to the boys how I would watch her at our house while her mommy and daddy were at work. Blake was very interested in how big she was, how long would she be here, would she be here when he got back from school, etc. Baby J was here for about 10 minutes and the boys were absolutely enthralled with her and Blake says to me "now that I have seen how cute she is, can we keep her?" For those of you who know, he has been asking me for a baby sister since I was pregnant with Parker. Unfortunately, we can't keep this one!

Kindergarten News

Blake is on his 5th week of Kindergarten and he LOVES it. He is learning so much in such a short amount of time. He has become much better at writing and is even reading! He is constantly asking us what words are and seems to remember them from then on. A week ago, he was made Top Banana for the week. This meant that he did all his work, followed the rules and was generally great in class (this is how he explained it to me). So, he was able to bring home Curious George for the week along with 5 Curious George books. He was so proud of himself. He made a bed for CG to sleep on at night out of the top part of his toolbench and some long, plastic screws (it really looked like a bed!). He just recently had his progress report in which he received all 3's (highest score) in all areas.

On the negative side, he has caught his third cold this fall! I guess that is the price we pay for not going to preschool!
