I'm catching up on blogging-so forgive the lateness of the upcoming topics, please:) Journey started preschool four afternoons a week this year. She is thoroughly enjoying having an assigned "job" to do every day. She even likes being 'super cleaner' or the person who picks up after everyone else has to get any missed items. Apparently this is a very fun job if you get to wear a Batman mask! Preschool teachers are so awesome! The afternoon class only has around 10 students in it, which I love. I wasn't for sure if I should ask for her to be in the morning or afternoon class, but I am VERY GLAD she is in afternoon. We're putting off the reality of having her at school by 8:00am every day one last year!!! (Thanks to all you smart friends for that advice:) Journey comes home singing new songs many days and brings pictures that she has drawn or painted-I know I can't keep them all, but they are so cute! They had a fire drill early in the school year, and Journey was slightly concerned and very inquisitive about a possible fire for the next few weeks, but has since become less worried about it.
I have noticed my perception as a mother is pretty patterned as of yet. I have high expectations for Journey and sometimes I wonder if I have expected too much of her (since she is my guinea pig in this whole parenting gig). I don't even realize I'm that way until I look back at a picture and think "Oh my goodness, she was so little!" and I'll second guess myself on maybe I was too hard on her! SIGH!! I find myself being somewhat the opposite with Wright-I'm always thinking of him as such a "little guy". As I held him tonight before bed, I honestly thought "there is no way this little baby boy will ever be a big, tall guy like his dad or his uncle Joe or uncle Phillip-no way! He is going to be this little guy forever right!!??? I'm very thankful to have the opportunity to be mom to both of these exceptionally cute and wonderful kids!
