Ok, so I've got this started, now what to write? I guess I'll just start with the basics. I thought I'd create a blog in order to keep those who may be interested in our lives reasonably updated. Jackson is at my Mom's for a couple of days and I've found myself with about....0 more minutes to myself. I will say that it is a bit easier going back from two to one, but I have realized that Jackson is a big entertainer to his sister! However, Caroline is really loving having her Mom and Dad all to herself. And all of Jackson's toys that are usually "forbidden" by her brother. And I will also add that it was nice tonight to have dinner without anyone complaining! We do miss our little guy and look forward to seeing him in Dublin this Saturday for Mimi's birthday. I know he is probably getting his way and loving every minute of not having our rules...
A quick update on the kids:
Jackson has been accepted to Holy Innocents' Episcopal School (HIES) located in Sandy Springs for next year. It is a great school, however, Kyle and I missed the open house in early February. So all I've seen is a little bit of the preschool building (which I saw when I took Jackson for his observation in March). Kyle, Caroline and I are getting a tour tomorrow at 12:30 so we will get a better feel for the school and if it is right for Jackson. Of course, as far as Jackson is concerned, he doesn't want to leave his current school (Vinings Creative Learning Center). He will be happy to know that one of his little friends will also be going to HIES in the Fall...
Caroline has recovered (as far as we can tell) from her ear tube surgery last Wednesday. She seems overall happier and is really doing great. We hope the battle with the ear infections is over! I'm thinking about enrolling her in the Friday morning class at The Little Gym since Jackson loved it so much. It's just so hard to do the things that you did with your first with your second child. Not as much time, but I'm trying! She's walking everywhere, waving, pointing and can blow a kiss. She's trying to talk more- today, after she pointed to a banana and then to herself (to tell me that she wanted to eat the banana) , we worked on saying ba-na-na. She did it- not sure if she'll do it again anytime soon, but the girl can talk! Mostly mama, dada, something that sounds like "Hi Guinness" (more like "eye Guin") and Jackson ( ja ja).
Anyway, hope you are all on board for checking this every couple of days and I will try to be good about keeping it updated.
