Already...

They are barely two and already acting like hanging out nearby mom is not cool......

there was a bench right by where we was standing.

Makeup

Here is my little doll again....

Chuck E. Cheese

We went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. Rory had lots of fun!! She loved the characters that were up on stage singing. She rode thjs horse ride probably 20 times!

Ariel Fish

Here is our new pet. We acquire the fish from Aunt Carrie. Rory picked out her name and it seems pretty appropriate....

Little Dancer

Our remodel project...

Is this why it's taking so long.....???

Dance class take two....

We tried a dance class back in June at the studio where I had taken classes. It didn't go so well. The class was suppose to be kids only and the moms stood outside and watched through a window. Well, Rory didn't want to have any part of that. She cried and screamed all 4 times we went. I even tried to let her cry it out and left her in the room, but she figured out how to open the door. So, I found another class through the City of Round Rock that lets the parents stay in the room. She is much happier about that. She is the most vocal one in the class and doesn't seem to follow the crowd as well as the others do.....she had lots of fun and said "this is awesome" a couple of times. Of course not when I was videoing. She requested when we left to get ballet shoes and a skirt which we did right away!

Rory's first day of school

Today was the first day of Mother's Day Out. Rory is going to Grace Episcopal Preschool in Georgetown. She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-1. She was very excited about going today, but once she realized I had left, she started crying. I probably would have cried too, but there was a brief parent orientation after I dropped her off, and I didn't want to look like a baby crying in front of the other moms. The report from Ms. Kara, the teacher, was that she only was upset for about 10 minutes. There are 7 kids in the class-all girls. That will be a change from the 2 boys she usually plays with. Ms. Kara reported that Rory loved the class library (surprise, surprise!) and played dress-up. Rory told me on the way home that she played Cinderella and had a glass slipper. She said she had a good time at school, and that Ms. Kara kept telling her that "Mommy would be back." I think we'll have a little bit of a transition, but I really think she is going to love school. I know I will enjoy the time to myself and hopefully be a better mother because of it.

Lunch with Uncle Kyle

Today we went to have lunch with Uncle Kyle. We went to Central Market, which is just across the street from Kyle's apartment. They have a playground, which is great entertainment for Rory. Kyle went down the slide with her a couple of times. We didn't stay too long because Kyle and I were hot. Rory had red cheeks and was sweaty, but kids just don't care.....
