To help me sleep my mom would kiss me in the palm of my hand and tell me to hold it tight and she was with me all through the night. It worked, no more fear and I would fall asleep! <br />Also in our home we'd talk about Angel Suggies, which are freckles. The angels watched over us, kids, while we slept and would kiss us, then in the morning we'd have a new freckle. <br /><br />So now many, many years later, I give birth to Alex and I almost flipped out when I noticed in the palm of his hand is a freckle! <br /><br />So not only does he have an angel suggie but its where my mom would kiss me to calm my fear. Once you read the story of Chester Raccoon, you'll see how all this blends in!<br /><br />I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!!!<br /><br />Again SOOO sorry for a massive book!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03920350901491316375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33616466.post-76558820667887946352009-04-22T02:03:00.000-04:002009-04-22T02:03:00.000-04:00Hey Jennifer, Alex and Kasi(Jenns Kasi) went to K...Hey Jennifer, Alex and Kasi(Jenns Kasi) went to K4 together, well Kasi was in morning and Alex was in afternoon but that was still neat!<br />Alex only had to go for a few hours in 4K!<br />His 5k was a full school day and he adjusted very well!<br /><br />To make it easier for him, we just celebrated everyday-now that sounds cheezy but, every morning we got up and let him think he was picking his clothes out (from what I had laid out) and he helped dress himself (like "find" his shoes that were beside the front door) all the while we told him what a big boy he was and the BIGGEST thing was in the car he got to choose the "Drive to school" music! School was only a minute or two away.<br /><br />I hate the freakin' wiggles so much i want to kick them in the head....BUT it made for a very happy 4 and then 5 year old!!!<br /><br />So my advice is just celebrate, make it a party! I personally loved it! <br /><br />BUT there were some days Alex really didn't give two flips if he was having a morning party or that he was being a big boy, some days HE wanted to kick the Wiggles in the head- BUT don't we all have those days we just don't wanna hear Miss Cheery Sunshine telling us how grrrreat today is going to be?!<br /><br />Those not so fun mornings will happen just keep up the positive attitude and cheering them on, it gets easier!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03920350901491316375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33616466.post-75009164334313573822009-04-21T22:15:00.000-04:002009-04-21T22:15:00.000-04:00Good for you being all productive today! I'm glad...Good for you being all productive today! I'm glad the girls...mostly...want to go to school. It will be great for them. I know it will be hard for them to be separated, but in the long run, it is a good thing that they will have to do things on their own. <br /><br />Have they said if they want to ride the bus? I know Brandi cried the first few days on the bus, but she adjusted quickly. I can't believe their day will be so long...Brandi's first year at 4k they only went for 3 1/2 hours. Are the girls going to be in a district pre-school, or a private one? What are your kindergarden hours? Brandi went full day 5k, but by 5 she was ready. 3/4 just seems so young....<br /><br />I know whatever you decide to do ;D you will rock at it!!!!!jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126675657006287838noreply@blogger.com
