Pre-school Photos

Pre-School Picture Day

These aren't even close to how cute the real photos turned out because I took a picture of the picture. I can't believe how big my "babies" are! So grown-up!! Especially Bo! .....these two have been my biggest challenge (especially Bo!) but one I TRY to enjoy! They have both grown-up so much recently it is going to be so fun to see them go off to "big school". We have one more year of pre-school after this year and I probably will cry tears of sadness and of joy! I have been saying for the last four and a half years that maybe it will be easier next year.....maybe 5 will be that MAGICAL number??? Doubt it.

Grace? What can I say except that if I had to compare the 2...she is the princess & the boss!

I realize I seem pretty hard on my little Bo but you gotta know just today he.....well, first thing this morning he decided to help the rabbit empty it's water bottle, not exactly sure what happened there but the day we got the bunny we had to buy a lock for the cage because someone was caught trying to release the bunny.....snuck out and opened the garage door, just for the hell of it (we have kittens out there that we want to keep in there)....opened the kitty's box that has a heavy plywood lid and dropped it on his head (glad we didn't decapitate a kitten).....slammed Grace's fingers in the door of the suburban bad enough that it blew open her one finger and was dripping blood all over the garage (REALLY glad we didn't lose a finger!).........figured out how to lock the dead bolt to the back door....GREAT! Yesterday while outside playing he rammed his trike into the back of Grace while she was riding up the jump so she tipped over backwards and hit her head on the cement because "she was in his way". He really is NOT mean to her, she just happens to be with him 24/7 so she is bound to get in the way and trust me she puts him in his place......We recently overcame the stage of squirting things like shampoo, toothpaste, baby bath, neosporin, my tube of lotrimin (which is not cheap) and my whole bottle of biosilk that was brand new and cost $20! Oh yes and this is a classic! Saturday night I went to a friends and Mykah was tending. She was getting him showered and Grace in the tub as I left. It wasn't 5 minutes and I get a call because she left Bo in the shower to turn off Grace's tub and he climbed up the shower somehow, got my razor and LICKED IT!!! Duh! Yes, it cut his tongue a little but HELLO??!! Who licks a razor?! I don't think of him as 'naughty' because he tries soooo hard to be good! It is a real challenge! He loves to be the helper and if you tell him this is what "big boys do to be good" then he's all over it. He is just very curious, independent, and doesn't know why he can't just do whatever he wants 2 minutes before he wanted it! "But MOM, how come Spencer & Tad get to?" I love the mischievous little shit though it can be exhausting as he needs constant supervision! If you can't SEE or HEAR Bo it is best to find him fast! I never have to wonder if he is up to something.......it is a guarantee!
