Early Morning Meetings
Mommy usually has early morning meetings that start at 7am and I usually take them from home and then go into the office. Sometimes, I have coffee with my boys while they drink their juice in the morning before my meetings, we hang out and talk and such.
Well, with daylight savings creeping upon us quickly the mornings are still pretty dark. Today mommy had to leave the house at 6:30 for one of those early meetings IN the office.We have the following conversation:
Jackson: Mommy is it morning yet? It's still dark outside
Mommy: Yes, but it is very early, you should go back to bed
Jackson: What are YOU doing up mommy?
Mommy: I have to go to work early.
Jackson: But its still dark out mommy, you can't go until the sun is up and it is day light out.
Will your friends be at work mommy?
Mommy: Yes, Jackson my friends will also be at work
Jackson: O.K. Mommy have a good meeting

kindergarten disucssions
Today we were talking about kindergarten and the fact that there are different classrooms with different teachers. I asked both Shane and Jackson if they wanted to be in different class rooms next year. And I had a resounding NO. I want to be with my brother!!!.... This will be an interesting conversation to have in the coming months.....

Jackson- Sept. 2013 letter
Dear Jackson-
My Jack, where to start? I'm sorry I haven't written to you in a while, it has been pretty busy here. But mommy is now home for a long while with no travel plans and I am looking forward to spending all of my non-working time with you and your brother.
We had a great summer and a wonderful time on vacation, you swam almost every day and mommy and daddy had so much fun with you, we were in NH for two weeks! You are back at school now in the four day class and you seem to love school. In the morning you ask me "mommy what do we have today?" and when I say school you reply with a big grin and say yippee! You also have started back up with swimming and Karate. You have achieved your orange belt in Karate- congratulations. I watched your karate class last week and you kept turning around to look at me and give me a big grin and a thumbs up, which was wonderful for me but your instructor wants you to pay attention in class! Not look at mommy. You appear to be doing a great job in Karate and having fun.
You love to play dress up these days and this includes everything from a giraffe at Dalia's house to police officer at our house. With that you also love to draw and you are coming along nicely with your letters! Great Job with the letter J, before you know it you will be writing the alphabet without any help at all. You still love to play independently with your superhero's or in a fortress that you made but you are also good at playing with Shane. Last night we built a fortress in the living room and you were very protective about who could enter and play in your fortress.
Keep up the good work Jackson and keep sending mommy snuggles. You have taken to coming into our bed at night and sometimes in the middle of the night you say to me- Hi Mommy, how are you? i want to share your pillow tonight. And other times you will randomly ask me if I have plans for the night? So talkative......
I love you Jackson Reid, you are mommy's sun, moon and stars. Carry on and be strong little guy.
I love you-
Love-
Mommy

Shane Sept. 2013
Dear Shane,
Mommy is very behind in her letters to you, it has been a busy summer! This will be the last letter I write to you as a four year old, you will be five years old next month, I can't believe that you will be 5!!!
You have grown a great deal over the summer and your little personality is shining through. You remain a happy little guy, always smiling and always up for a cuddle. But when you can't find your rainbow onsie- look out- you get very upset. We are working on the crying and "whining" as Jackson calls it. You are becoming much more proficient in swimming and karate- you have your orange belt in karate and like to say Hi Yah at home. We should practice your karate moves at home but maybe in the coming weeks mommy will get more into that. You continue to love to draw and color, in fact every morning before breakfast you are usually coloring and our Wall of Fame Art Wall is very full with all of your art work.
You my good friend Shane are exactly that, a good friend. You and Jackson are as close as ever these days and you are always asking about your brother or can I have one for my brother Jackson? School is going well, you are in the 4 day class this year. You are the oldest children in the school and your classroom has a loft in it and you love going to school. Mommy finally met your buddy Coleman this weekend at the park and I was able to watch you play and interact with him and some other friends at the playground. You are a good player Shane and you are good at sharing.
I love you Shane Kilday! Stay strong and carry on my little friend, you are mommy's sun, moon and stars!
All my love-
Mommy
