Uh Oh

So today after we get in the car and say prayers, Charles turns to me and says, "Dad, you don't have to walk me to my room today. I know where it is." What?!?!? He wants me to drop him off?! We're only four days in! I was planning on walking him to class until he turns 16! Well, I suppose it's a good thing that he is independently minded rather than the other way around. We just never expected it from Charles. Joey? Well, that's another story altogether. We can't even dress the kid without him freaking out that "HE CAN DO IT HIMSELF!!!" Isn't it great how children in the same environment can be so different? It's part of what makes our lives so rich.

Speaking of different children, here are some pictures of my baby who already has me wrapped around her tiny 11 month old finger. This is her silly smile face. She usually does it whenever she sees me in the morning or when I first come home from work. I love it, but it has been almost impossible to catch it on camera. It's like catching lightning in a bottle, really--until today. I finally discovered a way to get her to do it consistently with a camera close by. You have to imagine her breathing quickly in and out of her nose while she does it. Also, you'll notice that tooth #4 finally made an appearance after her mouth being a three tooth zone for the last month or so.

Ah ha! I know what you mean but that is also a good thing...it means he is confident with himself and secure in his school environment. That speaks volumes about the school and his teacher. Sorry dad. =)

Those are seriously THE BEST pictures of Tori!!! I LOVE THEM! I think I have some of CW and Jo around here and they did that goofy shallow breathing thing with the silly face. How cute is that! She is SOOO cute!
