Bye- bye Summer.

Summer!?  Where have you gone!? 

Unofficially, with today being Labor Day, summer is over.  Didn't it just begin?  Wasn't Sara just born?  There's no possible way that she is almost 3 months old.  I can't get over it.  I can't get over how quickly she's grown and changed. 

My big boy, Mr. 4 Year old, is starting school in a week.  One week. 7 days.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't HE just born as well?  I can't wait for Jack's first day of school.  I mean, I can, but I can't.  I know, I know.  I'm making no sense.  But, I just think it's so cool that he's at that point.  He'll make friends, he'll learn, he will be out of my hair for a couple of hours a day, and he'll have a great time.  But, I'm just going to miss him so much.  I feel like I've worked so hard, and have tried my best to prepare him for this point, and now it's here, and I'm just so proud and so anxious at the same time.  If this is how I'm acting for pre-school, I can't imagine how I will be when he's accepted to Princeton...

My Emma has grown so much this summer.  Physically and mentally.  She's SO caring, and loves to hug and kiss, and is not shy with the "i love you"s".  She LOVES her baby sister.  However, she's become more dramatic.  You look at her sideways, she'll cry.  Raise your voice?  She'll cry.  THING about raising your voice?  Yup, you guessed it.  I can't imagine where she gets it from. (hehehehe, that would be me...) It will be interesting to see how she will be without Jack around.  Luckily school time falls around naptime, so I'm thinking it won't bother her too much.  I'm afraid she'll want to hop on the bus with Jack.  I guess time will tell.

And Miss Sara.  Little Miss Sunshine.  She is a ball of happiness and smiles.  She's so happy (nearly) all of the time.  I swear, if all babies were like her, I'd have 17 more.  Things were sketchy in the beginning with colic and the acid reflux, but now that she's grown out of it, she's just a joy.  She's settling into a rather predictable schedule, complete with sleeping 10 hours a night.  She likes to be sitting up, and once her head control gets a bit better, she will be ready for the "bumbo" seat. 

Our goals for the rest of the year are pretty simple.  Get Emma potty-trained (which promises to be a chore), get Jack acclimated to school and get him in to a routine with that, and to keep Sara as chill as she currently is.  Sounds easy, right?

Hey J-Dubs, E.B. Fresh and SGB!!  Mommy loves you all so much, it hurts on a daily basis.  I couldn't have asked for 3 more perfect children.  You're as good as it gets, and I'm so proud to say you're mine!!  I love you, my babies!!!
