Today is Gammie's birthday. She recently sent you and Sydney pillow cases she sewed w/ some candy along with it and clothes. She watched you guys open the package on Skype. We skyped with her yesterday and we watched her open our package: a photo book I made her of our Utah trip in May. You like to talk to her and Grandpa everyday and would and could talk for at least an hour.
Sis. Snodgrass, your sunbeam teacher, called me to tell me that you said a very mature and sincere prayer in class. She was impressed with the things you said, one of which was inviting the Spirit to the classroom.
That makes me happy to hear. It makes me feel good knowing the things we do INSIDE our home is impacting your behavior OUTSIDE our home.
I wanted to write a few funny things you have said recently. This morning, you pulled down your pants and said, "Feel my WARM bottom, mom."
"I kept my bed dry and my unders dry"
You're kind of on a potty humor kick lately. You think anything about pooh is funny. The funny part is, is that no one laughs about it but you. I'm sure we did at first, but not any more. It got old quick.
Have I mentioned that you climb up the rock wall to the top of the ceiling. This is what your routine week will look like now. Mondays: music class 9:30-10:30, Tues/Thurs: school 9:15-12:00, Wednesday playdate at Schanz, Merrell, or our house 9-11 while two of those days I go out and run errands, Friday: Library toddler reading time: 10:15am.

Last week you started Lions and Lambs preschool. You were so excited that it was finally your turn to start school. I was so happy for you because you have been waiting so patiently for your special day. On our way to the church bldg, where your school is inside, you found one of those weeds (can't think of the name) that you blow and make a wish. You made about 3 wishes with 3 different weeds and wished that you would love preschool. After this pit stop, you ran inside to your classroom, picked the apple with your name on it, and started playing. That was it. I said goodbye and gave you a kiss, but I don't think you really noticed. Your teachers are Ms. Marie and Ms. Danielle. There are 10 kids in your class. When I picked you up and asked how school was, you said, "I don't like Ms. Danielle. She said I couldn't be line leader." grunt and pouty face ensued thereafter. You'll be line leader next Thursday when we bring snacks. Other than that minor detail, you loved preschool. You wish to go everyday. Although I've only experienced 2 days of you and Sydney both in school, it's been nice just hanging out with Levi, quiet, but nice.
