Emily's new look and Aaron's new skill!!

We found out this summer that Emily needed glasses! Not a surprise since I got them in 1st grade and Josh got them in 2nd grade. She was a little apprehensive at first, but has done great!! She looks good in them and seems to like it that she can see better now.



We're hoping it helps her to see things in 1st grade...seeing as that is less than 3 weeks away!! I told Josh that sending her off to 1st grade will be harder on me than kindergarten was. It just seems so official...all day, everyday.











We are also very excited because Aaron finally decided to start talking!! This has been a very late skill for him. Not because he doesn't understand or communicate. He understands everything and communicates great....just not with words. He's finally begun to communicate on his own and it's very exciting. It's neat to see just how many words he understood and knew, but never said until now. A few things he'll say on his own in response to things....MOM(in caps because it is always yelled as in a state of emergency), choo choo, juice, clean up, mickey mouse, chuckie cheese, Sherlock (prounounced shoe la), night night, hi, wow, uh-oh, bye bye, pleeese, cheeese, thank you, love you, no, mine, and maybe a few more that I can't think of right now. He'll say most anything you try to get him to say....but these are just his independent words. We knew he had it in him, but he kind of walks to the beat of his own drum and there's no pushing him if he doesn't want to do something. What a difference there is between my boy and girl!! But I love them both and wouldn't trade either of them for the world!!
