Life lately

These past few weeks have really been an eye opener on how big our LITTLE boy is getting. He moved up a class at school and is now on the PreK learning level. We thought it was a good idea to sign him up for Tae Kwon Do because he loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, owns almost every sword/nunchucks/scarf that the turtles have and he is constantly doing TMNT "moves" all over the place. What a perfect way for him to burn off some energy, learn discipline, and self defense right? We sat through a class so he could get a feel of what he'd be doing before we committed to the intro class and bought a uniform. Of course, he was hooked and couldn't wait to start. So, I signed him up last Friday and his first intro class was Monday. Let me just tell you, as his mom, I have seen him look pretty cute in a NB hippo Halloween costume, teeny tiny little wranglers with cowboy boots, a mini tux with a tiny bow tie but this Tae Kwon Do outfit topped them all!! He was adorable and you could tell he felt so cool once we put it on. The instructor tied his belt and wrote his name in Korean on the side and he was off to his spot and class started. I thought he might be a little shy at first, not knowing anyone or the routine just yet but he got out there and ROCKED it. He did exactly what the instructor told them to do, said yes sir and tried his hardest at jumping jacks ;-) We have to work on those...but it was the cutest thing EVER! Glad Cody was off so he could watch. We laughed the whole time.

We've also been planning a 4 year birthday!!! I love birthdays and admit to going a little overboard but hey they only have 1 birthday a year right?!? I say this alllllllll the time but seriously, I can't believe our baby is turning 4. This will be a VERY bittersweet party knowing our Gram won't be there. I know she will be watching the whole thing from the best seat in the house though, smiling down, singing happy birthday to her boy! She was always such a huge help at his parties, asking if she could do anything and always finding him the BEST gifts. Sure do miss that woman.

We've also been looking in to some schools for kindergarten. So many decisions being a parent..... I think we've decided on Midland Christian school but not certain. Hud would be going to Henderson next year if we put him in public school. With the boom and all the extra people in Midland, I've talked to teacher friends and they have classes as big as 35 students. That doesn't make me feel like he would be getting the best education. With a private school, a teacher has maybe 15 students and more one on one time is available and they have Chapel once a day :) We have a campus tour set up in September. I'm not even sure if he'll be able to start K next year with his birthday falling on August 31st. EEk

We had our friend Laurel's baby shower this past weekend and we showered little Temple with great food, company and lotsa PINK! It was a great time and little T is due on my birthday!!!
