- Nate is now a walking kid. Yup, thats right, at the tender age of 10 months old, he walks. Technically, he was 11-12 days shy of turning 10 months. He beat Grace, who also was 10 months old, but was technically 5 days away from turning 11 months old.
- Nate is now getting tooth number 7, and tooth number 8 is on the way out. Yes, he beat Grace in this area, too. Grace had just started getting her first tooth when she was 7 months old. By the time she was 10 months old she was only on tooth number four or five. Just to recap, Nate had 4 teeth at 7 months old. Oh and by the way, tooth number 7 and number 8 are where I think the first molars are. To see the dental chart, click here. He has not yet had the lateral incisors or the cuspids, however, the cuspids are due to come after the molars. The lateral incisors are running a bit late. Hmmmm.
- Grace needs some prayer. Or is it maybe I need some?? Her behavior has been trying lately, and its been very hard on me, to say the least. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think we might all need a little prayer. She's four, I know, but her behavior has become worse than usual, and its different for her.
- I got a 76 on my Chem test. I know, I know, I already ranted on this, so I won't go into it too much, but it still stinks. I know you might say, "Well, a 76 isn't bad," or, "That's still a C," or, "At least you passed." But, when you are striving for the best grade possible, it doesn't seem good enough. Also, the nursing program at BCC places you in a ranking, so-to-speak, so that when you apply for a seat in the program they look at how many points you have, and however many seats they have, the top amount of people get in. Points are based on your grades in the prereq classes, your nursing preadmission test, and any gereral eduaction classes you might take before getting accepted into the program. And even though I may not be in the program anytime soon, the classes I take are for the program and are counting towards those points. So, keep me in your prayers that I can do better on the next two exams.
- Grace may start soccer in January. Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale has a Youth Soccer Program that starts in mid-January and lasts until mid-March. 8 weeks total I think. And for $40 you get shorts, a shirt, and socks, and your child gets to play. This has been the best soccer deal I could find as far as amount of money goes. Although, right now, she said she didn't want to play, I may sign her up anyway and see if she changes her mind. She had, in the past, seemed interested, but I think I may have caught her in a bad mood. So, stay tuned. Currently, ballet is going well.
- Christmas is coming! Only 1 month and 20 days until Christmas. I love Christmas. I love the cool weather and getting together with the whole family. I wish we lived closer to all of them.
And I believe that this concludes my rambling. Now onto pics:
This was a tree I found on my excursion in Stuart. It made me feel as if I was up north somewhere, since south Florida does not believe in any other tree other than a palm tree. So, I took a picture of it. Pretty.
Here's the pumpkin patch. It looks as if Grace is saying, "This here, folks, is a pumpkin patch."
Grace with a scare crow.....and some bales of hay.
Grace getting practice for the tractor life I hope to provide for her one day. Grace, get that grass cut!!
Grace hard at work again.
One of the two cutest little pumpkins in the patch.
Here's the other one.
Grace finally found her pumpkin. She didn't think the tractor was all that bad either.
Phew. Pickin' pumpkins is hard work!
Grace at Glory Nite, an event that the church where she goes to preschool puts on every year right around Halloween. She's getting ready to get on a BIG slide.
Grace going down the BIG slide.
It took a while, but Grace FINALLY got the idea that you couldn't just go straight to the front of the line and that you had to go to the end and WAIT your turn.
Here are the kids from the preschool. There are four different classes, however, not all the kids from the preschool showed up to sing.
Here's Grace holding some leaves for a song.
Isn't she cute?
I think this song was about a squirrel. They're doing the hand movements.
Here's Grace last Sunday at a park nearby in Coral Springs. It was originally made out of wood by people and parents from the neighborhood some years ago, but during Hurricane Wilma last year, it was destroyed. The city decided to build a new one and it is awesome. Its pretty big, with a rubber floor (my favorite) and I think its also supposed to have a huge canopy over it for shade (awesome idea for a Florida park in the summer). However, we aren't sure about the canopy yet.
Here's another pic from the park. I LOVE this pic of her....I think the green from the playground brings out her eyes.
Ok, off subject, but here's Nate sleeping. He has three blankets in his crib and he took them all and snuggled with them. We straightened out the one on top a little, but this is pretty much how we found him.
This was Grace at school on Halloween. All the kids were to dress like someone from Noah's Ark. Here's my little lion.
The lion again.
The class got to have some cool snacks after the costume parade.
Ok so here is Grace at the Boca Town Center Mall. We took her trick-or-treating. This was her first time. The years before, she never really cared. But this year, she asked and we decided it would be ok. She wanted to be Cinderella, go figure. Who'd a thunk it?
Here's me and the princess and one tired little Nate-dog. It is currently his bedtime and he was wondering where his bed was.
