Life has been fairly uneventful since my last post, which was a month ago. After the chaos of the holidays I am quite grateful for the quiet time. We have been enjoying the Olympics as ever and Layla especially likes the ice dancing and skating, Jason and I have been following the alpine and ice track events. Today, I took a break from work and watched the OT of the Women's Hockey final. It was pretty heartbreaking. How sad that a loss brings you a silver medal. I hope they will be proud anyway. It was obvious everyone put their heart and soul into the game.
Layla has been obsessed with gymnastics and dance as of late and looking into our options for gyms has made ice skating lessons look reasonably priced. I hope to woo her with some ladies skating tonight. Ice skating class starts next week! I haven't signed her up yet...... She hasn't seemed interested in girls playing hockey, no dresses. Some days I wonder where this girl came from!
Tonight I head to Kindergarten registration for our little fireball. It's hard to believe how the time has passed. I always wondered about the intense sentiment some parents have surrounding the start of Kindergarten. And today I do feel a little sad and sentimental about it. It is the start of her really growing up and away from us. It is the start of the public school system which was clearly invented to be the biggest PITA imaginable to working parents. Remarkably, the Kindergarten registration extends past 5:00 pm but that's the only thing on the calendar outside of business hours. I guess they are trying to ease us in.
The best news of all is that Jason is going to be starting a new job soon! Wish him luck on his new adventure. He will be working downtown for a well-respected firm, it is a great step in his career.
Here are some cute kid pics to make you smile!
Layla is ready for the date night with Dad to the Princess Ball aka Daddy-Daughter Dance.
Jayden is grinning at his sister after sharing with her his very first fudgesicle.
That is definitely something worth smiling about. Plus he now has a stick to chew on.
Layla is working on her beam routine at one of the gymnastics gyms we tried out last week.
I have been completely unsuccessful in deterring my kids from eating snow, especially the little one. He will lay down on his belly and shovel it in if I leave him unattended (while I am locking the front door, for instance).
When you find something red and messy, put it in your hair. That's what I would do!
