There hasn't been a whole lot to report from the Jackson house lately. We've been in the school routine, and haven't done much else otherwise. We have been lucky enough to have lots of babies hang out with us, though. Bowen came to play with us today. Elise is used to holding little babies like Owen and Gage, but Bowen is 6 months old, and was twice their size!
Erin brought Bowen a million toys, then promptly got out her baby doll and showed him how a baby is supposed to behave.
Elise started back to gymnastics the first of October. We didn't have a great run with gymnastics her first time around a few years ago, so we switched her to dance. When it came time to pick a class again, she decided to give gymnastics another whirl. She's a lot more patient with trying to learn this time, and she's not so timid to try new things. So far, so good!
Elise got her Kindergarten pics back a few weeks ago. They turned out pretty good. She told me they took pictures right after recess (of course), which is why her hair was a little messed up, but they were cute.
In other Kindergarten news, we found this awesome picture Elise drew in a book in her classroom while we were at Parent/Teacher Conferences. The kid is so detailed. Do you see Grandpa Jackson watching TV in his chair next to the side table with the lamp? Do you see the mixer on the counter and Elise's step-stool? Do you see Grandma Jackson's curly hair? She's definitely good at drawing pictures--going to be an artist like her Daddy!
Legos are a big deal at our house. A while back, Daddy found all his old legos, and Elise decided she wanted to combine her legos with Daddy's. They get them all out quite often and go to town with building. Erin likes to sit with them for a while, but she doesn't have the attention span for building much. Elise and Daddy have built some neat cars and houses.
Mammy got these jammies for Erin a few weeks ago. She calls them her "Mammy Jammies" and when she first got them, she insisted that she wanted to wear them every night, so I was doing a lot of laundry! She loves footie pajamas and is pretty good at putting them on herself.
Jessie went back to school this week, so we haven't got to see as much of her and Owen as we had been used to--Erin has asked about him several times this week! We got to babysit him last Friday while Jessie got things ready to go back, and Elise was glad she had a day off school so she could cuddle with him. What a difference three months (between Owen and Bowen) makes in size with babies!
