Me ‘n Jack: New teachers, new room, new friends

Today was the first day of school!  I didn’t get to stay the whole time since I’m not all the way better from surgee yet, but I had a lot of fun while I was there!
 
Me and Jack decided to wear our shirts that he got for us on his trip a few weeks ago.  He came to my house before school so we could take some pictures.
 
“Good morning.”


Braska: “We’re not going in the house. Pictures are outside today. You ready?”


Braska: “Come over here, and we’ll let KiKi in the picture with us.”
Jack: “What if I want to just stand here?”


Girls: “Is he going to sit down?” “I don’t know.” “Does my hair look ok?”


Braska: “What if we kind of sit like this?  It’s what the cool kids do.”


Jack: “Ok, I’m here. What now?”
Girls: “Just wait for Mommy to take the pictures. Do your hands like this.”


Jack: “You want cheese? I’ll give you cheese!”
Braska: “Don’t look now but he is being goofy again. No! Don’t look!”
KiKi: “He’s still pretty cute, though.”


Then we took some more pictures in the hall by our classrooms.  We’re not in the same class this year.  I don’t really like that, but at least he’s right next door.  It was really weird to go to meet new friends without Jack.

”Are we done yet?  It’s almost time for school!”


”Please, God, help me make some fun friends in there.”


”Here’s the plan… if you miss me, just knock on the wall three times and we’ll meet in the hallway.”


”I like my cubby, but seriously… why can’t Jack be in my class with me? Where is he?”


Me and Jack both had good days at school.  Tomorrow I get to stay the whole time because there’s only 3 kids on my small class days.  Then next week I get to go regular all the time!  I like my new teachers and I think my new friends are really nice too.
 
While Kinlee was waiting for me to get done at school, she played on the pirate ship.

 

She went around and around and around and kept going down the slide.


Then she found some great big balls. Almost big as her!


Here’s some little movie of Kinlee playing.  (Grandmas like these kinds of movies.)

YAY for school!!!

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
