6 Year Doctor's Appointment

B and B had their 6 year doctor's appointment on December 1st. They had a good appointment and it is always nice to see Dr. Gilmer. Brynn weighed 63 lbs (96%) and was 49.6 inches (97.5%) tall. Brody weighed 55 lbs. (90%) and was 47.8 inches (86%) tall. I had to smile when I realized Brynn had 8 lbs. and 2 inches on her brother:) Dr. Gilmer said she wasn't surprised at all to see such a difference in them at this age. They are both averaging growing 3 inches a year!

Christmas in the Sky

Last week, Brynn danced in Christmas in the Sky at Longview Lake. She did a great job, especially since it was so cold out that night! I am so proud of you!

6th Birthday Party!

We had a pool party for B and B's 6th birthday at Legacy Park Community Center. We invited each of their classes and their soccer teams. B and B had so much fun playing with their friends and cousins!

Skate Night

Last month, their elementary PTA had a skate night school fundraiser. It was the first time B and B had been roller skating! They were very frustrated at first trying to learn how to skate, especially Brody. Brynn was determined to learn how to skate and she did a good job. She could skate really well holding my hand and we started skating pretty fast a few times. Brody got tired of falling down and refused my help after a while. He taught himself how to skate and ended up being able to skate by himself better than Brynn. We had a lot of fun, but we were all exhausted when we left that night! The PTA is hosting 3 more skate nights throughout the school year and they're looking forward to skating again! Brody asked me if he could be on the skating team. He thought there was a roller skating team like his soccer team:)

First Day of Kindergarten!

  B and B started Kindergarten last week on my birthday! After 2 years of Pre-School and 1 year of Pre-K together, we decided to put them in separate classes. Brody didn't really say much about starting school. He did want to know what I would be doing without him and if I would be home when he got home (he knew I was starting my new job that day too). I think he was a little nervous. Brynn was sooo excited to start school! I asked her if she was going to miss Brody at school and she said, "No, I'll see him in the cafeteria." Then I asked her if she was going to miss Daddy or me? She said, "No. Mom, I am going to be having so much fun that I won't even be thinking about you!" She also knew that none of her friends were going to be in her class. I asked her if she was sad about that and she said, "No, I'll just make new friends." She has become "Miss Independent!" They were so excited to get to take their lunches and to ride on the school bus! They both got right on the bus and never even looked back. I shed a few tears walking back to our house.
  It had been kind of a joke between Bryan and I that if we didn't get a call home the first day about Brody's behavior, then it was a good day at school. Well, I did get a call home, but it wasn't for behavior problems. The school nurse called to tell me that Brody had gotten stung by a wasp on his ear at recess. His ear was pretty swollen still when he got home from school. When they got home that afternoon, they both said that they liked school and loved riding the bus!
