What a difference a year makes!

Jacob's first day of school was last week. We have him in a different school this year. In a K/1 split. And OHMYGOD. What a difference. Let me recap. The first week of school last year consisted of tears and trips to the Principal's office. He was only FOUR! I do regret starting him early, especially since I had no idea Kindergarten had turned into a college prep grade. This year he is encouraged and rewarded. Whereas last year his teacher told my husband and me, "well, I don't think Jacob will ever be able to get a 'prize' out of the prize box." THANKS. My husband, who also teaches, was less than thrilled with her to say the least. And I almost felt like asking her if she forgot that she's a KINDERGARTEN teacher!  Last year was a nightmare to say the least. I have high hopes for this year!

Today was TOOTHtastic!

Ava has been working on her two bottom teeth and they have really popped out! AND Jacob has been working on LOSING his first tooth and today was the day! He is SO PROUD of himself. The first thing he said was, Daddy is going to be so IMPRESSED with me! Then he wanted to go show his Dr. Silly boy.

Teething

More teething...

Teeth!

A big tooth already hiding back there!

My New Obession

Pinterest

Have you heard? I was just introduced to it the other day and Im already fully hooked. You can check out my profile HERE. It is SO COOL and I actually already put something to use that I saw on there. *pats self on the back*

Hot dogs. Spaghetti noodles.

Jacob ate them right up and asked for more, which is RARE when it comes to something "new."





Besides all the yummie goodness I have to share about our trip. We just got back from a week long trip to Disneyland that I have to blog about but for now, here is little Miss Minnie Mouse herself.
