This is Hannah the day she learned how to blow bubbles with her gum. She was so excited and proud of herself. I can remember the first time I blew a bubble. It is a huge deal or right of passage. Could someone please tell me how she could possibly be old enough to figure this out? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was teaching her to blow raspberries (you know with your tongue and lips)? That is a trick I proudly and in all silliness taught all three of my children. I can remember walking through the K-Mart in Yucca Valley, CA with Rachel when she was about 3-4 months old. She made eye contact with me, grinned and let loose with raspberries.Rachel and Aaron had their parent teacher conferences last week. Both of their teachers had very nice things to say. Rachel got straight A's. She worked really hard and it paid off. Way to go, Rachel!!
Aaron also got a great report card, but he does not yet get letter grades. Before the conference he told me to look around his desk when we got to school. I thought the class probably made something for the parents to see. I walked straight to his desk when I arrived in the classroom. He had taken a little scrap of paper and wrote, "I love you Mom. Aaron" on it.
Too sweet. I often put notes in the kids' lunch boxes and they usually let me know that they have found them. I'm guessing he likes recieving them so much he thought he would give me one. I would have grabbed him and kissed him all over, but he probably would have died from embarrassment with his teacher standing right there. That boy will be a great husband one day.
