Preschool Graduation

Here's what Molly's teachers had to say about her...

Molly had her Preschool Graduation and All-School BBQ this last week. It was so much fun! Jane especially loved the watermelon. Molly loved seeing all of her school friends and playing "Kitties" one more time. I can't believe it but Molly's headed to Kindergarten in just a few months!

Mother's Tea

Me & Molly at the Mother's Tea

Smiling and loving every minute of being the center of attention while her Ms. Jen (one her 3 wonderful teachers) reads her "Molly's Mom" page.

Molly in The Grouchy LadyBug

Last week at the moms were invited to attend preschool with their child for a special Mother's Tea. They did a cute little play (The Grouchy Ladybug - Molly played the rhino), they sang a super cute version of I'm a Little Teapot (see the video a few posts down to catch the end of it), served us strawberry shortcake and lemonade (and even cleared our plates for us! They've been working on manors), and my favorite - The Mom Questionnaire. The teachers asked the children questions and wrote down their answers. Then at the Mother's Tea they presented them to us and read a few aloud. Here are Molly's answers...

Molly's Mom

What is your mom's name?
Kim, but I call her Mom and Dad calls her Honey.

How old is she?
I think she's 11. That's a lot taller than me.

What is her favorite food?
She likes salad. She loves vanilla ice cream but she can't have chocolate because she'll make chocolate milk for the baby.

What does she do while you are at school?
I don't know but one time she fell asleep with Jane.

(You must know that this was the day I fell asleep with Jane and was almost 40 minutes late to pick the girls up. Oops! Thank goodness their sweet teacher who not only waited patiently, but also made a craft with them!)

What makes your mom happy?
When I do the right thing like stay out of the cupboard with the bubblegum in it.

How do you show her you love her?
I hug and kiss her.

If you had lots of money, what would you buy for your mom?
A rainbow from the sky. I could only buy that if it was a stuffy though!

How do you know your mom loves you?
She gives me fiber. That's taking good care of me. I have to eat more fiber.

6 Months Old Already!

Man! Time flies! Jane is 6 months old, weighs 21 pounds, has 2 bottom teeth (and I think 2 more coming), and rules our lives! She's pretty good at drinking out a cup, but LOVES to drink from a clean dish cloth. She's an absolute doll just like her big sissy, and doesn't mind being man-handled a bit (see photo of Molly kissing? her). She loves to eat food and screams at us if we're eating in front of her and not sharing - she's been doing it for about a month now. The cute little stinker. :)

Molly's an amazing big sister - so sweet, gentle, and especially helpful. She can make Jane giggle at the drop of a hat. They're absolutely darling together.

We LOVE our girls!

Sweet Sisters

I was busy getting something done when Jane woke up from her nap this morning. I sent Molly up to talk to her and keep her happy until I could come up to get her. When I went upstairs I found Molly in the crib with Jane, both of them holding bears. So cute! I usually don't like it when Molly climbs into the crib and she usually gets in trouble, but this time I couldn't help but laughing and running to get the camera.

Molly is an amazing big sister and helps out so much. Nobody can make Jane laugh like Molly. They're the sweetest of sisters.
