Parker Turned 5, and Mommy Was Busy!

It's been a few months, but Parker, you made it to 5!  Between your fearlessness and spirit, there have been times over the last 5 years it's been questionable.  I have to say, I feel like this summer you really grew up a lot, and in so many great ways.  You were SO excited to start kindergarten was so hard for you to wait, but now we're in the full swing of it, and you are doing great.  Even since the beginning of the school year I feel like you've come leaps and bounds, and I already thought you were ahead of the crowd.  I kind of missed writing your 5 year post, promise to better next year!

School Rules

Yesterday was the 4th day of school, and on the way to school Payton informed me that she'd had to make a new rule for the bus and school.  She had to make a rule for Parker, no kissing on the bus or at school.  I think it's pretty funny, because I can't think of a time that I've seen Parker trying to kiss Payton, maybe some big bear hugs here and there, but kissing just isn't something I see her do.  Guess she sure must be missing her sister at school!

You can if you're able, you may if you must...

"May you get me a napkin please?",  my sweet Parker says to me at the dinner table.  This is how I know that somewhere in there, she really is listening to my little life lessons.  You see, I once had a teacher who tried to teach us the difference between "May I" and "Can I", and I learned the lesson (maybe a little too well) and so when the girls ask me a "May I" question with "Can I", it makes my skin crawl, so I've corrected her at least 1000 times.  Well, she heard me, and I guess I wasn't clear in teaching the WHOLE lesson.  Oh well, we'll get there.
