Me: Guess who has a baby growing in her tummy?
Kids: WHO????
Me: Aunt Tina! Isn&#8217;t that great? Wesley is going to be a big brother.
Carter: that&#8217;s cool

I have the joy of watching her as I volunteer with a Kindergarten class and she is a hoot!

He crawled into my bed that first morning and snuggled close to me saying, &#8220;I just missed you so much, mommy.&#8221; While I was gone, Gracey is the one who voiced her separation anxiety but it didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I survived Mathew&#8217;s first week (2 days) of school and he did, too. I know he loves being around all the other kids and I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll adjust to the one nap thing. I just hate it when he gets so fussy because it really is unlike him. Usually, he&#8217;s very happy-go-lucky.
Speaking of Mathew, I [...]]]></description>
