The other night, Derek decided that we needed to do a fire drill with the kids. We started at dinner with a conversation about it. Derek asked the boys what they would do if there was a fire. What would happen? Both boys looked thoughtfully at us. Logan was the first to throw an idea out. With great passion, he exclaimed “I think a superhero will come rescue us!”  Love it.

Connor finally decided he wanted to take the training wheels off his bike yesterday. For about 6 months, they’ve been bent and didn’t even touch the ground. But, they offered him a sense of security, and any time we suggested taking them off, he freaked out. Yesterday, he just decided he was ready. Derek took them off, and he zipped right down the driveway. So typically Connor!

T minus 13 days until Kindergarten. We have started transitioning into school mode this week. Connor needs lot and lots of time to adjust to anything new, and he needs lots and lots of structure. Last week I made two posters, a morning routine one and a bedtime routine one. I’m hoping this (along with picking out his clothes for the week on Sunday) help this next big transition he’s facing. Change and the C-Man have not always meshed very well…and starting school is definitely going to be a big change.

And, to wrap this random post up, a few pictures of the Cami-Girl.

I wonder if her eyes are going to stay blue?

It’s exhausting being a baby!
