ABCs

So Brendan's new teacher this year seems to be wonderful for him. We do miss Ms. Mary a lot though! She seemed to have a better sense of humor. They're working on writing letters and he writes his As really well and they're working on Bs now. He LOVES drawing them for us all the time on his magna doodle. I don't know if she's correcting how he holds a pen/pencil/crayon. Most of the time he doesn't hold it correctly. His teacher told us that he did very well on his counting check the other day. He had to count to 15 and he did it :-) She said next they'll work up to 20 I think. We told her he can count to 30 but he usually says twenty-ten. He is seriously cute most of the time. I hate that I keep focusing on the bad stuff. Most of the time I'm probably to blame for getting annoyed cause he's interrupting an iPod game. As if that's important. Ugh. I have an iPod addiction I'm trying to kick. One of his cutest sayings at the moment is "That'd be good." Usually said after he says "let's go watch... (insert name of movie we'll be watching for the millionth time here)". And he pats you on the shoulder when he says it. He also recently become aware of all of our friends who come over. If he hasn't seen someone in a while, he says "hi, I'm Brendan, these are my friends Mom, Dad, and Kaylee". So cute! I'm still mourning the fact that I'm Mom instead of Mommy by the way. Seriously don't know why/how that happened. He is confused about pronouns at the moment. We try to get him to call everyone Mr. or Miss. Like our friend Aaron is Mr. Aaron to him (usually pronounced Misser Awon). But he seems to have a lot of trouble calling the girls Miss. Not sure why. Maybe cause they're not his teacher? Cause he's never had a problem calling teachers Miss. And when he does get the concept, he usually says Mr. Go figure.

Kaylee is her normal happy-go-lucky self. Her new thing is pointing out eyes, noses, and mouths. But she tries to poke your eye out when she does it! And she'll point out eyes, but then she wants you to touch her nose and mouse (as she says it, lol). She still loves her elephants. And I'm still in search of a twin size bed set with elephants (there are literally two that aren't circus or jungle animals, just elephants). She LOVES to say Hi and Bye to everyone. Star is another favorite word cause they're singing Twinkle Twinkle at school. It was funny the other day cause we went to pick her up and she said something (maybe star, can't remember) and her teacher said "hey, she does talk!". We were dumbfounded cause it's hard to shut her up most days. Lol. She's also started saying "I silly" probably because she hears brother say it 20 times a day.

I think that's all I've got for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
