Nancy worked with Caroline and Sam for a couple of weeks each morning to help them learn how to ride their bikes. After much whining and complaining, a few wrecks, and some threats/bribery/cajoling, they finally learned how to do it within a few days of each other. Their reward was a lunch date with Mom… Continue reading Bike Riding

The Ugly Duckling
Texas has been excited the past week or so because her second grade class has been getting ready to perform the play about the Ugly Duckling.

Caroline got an invitation to a birthday party. She was so excited because she usually watches her older sisters go to birthday parties or else gets to go with them but this time she was going all by herself. Nancy helped her choose a present for her friend and wrap it up. She couldn’t stop… Continue reading Miss Caroline Goes To a Party
Tooth Tale
Caroline’s front tooth has been loose for quite a while now although she has such short stubby little teeth that they don’t wiggle much even when they’re loose. I wiggled it last night and decided that it was finally time to come out. I subscribe to the plain and simple yank-the-tooth-out-with-dental-floss method. None of those… Continue reading Tooth Tale

Unfortunately, I missed the program because I was on a business trip to Massachusetts but Nancy went and took pictures.… Continue reading Caroline’s Winter Sing
