First Haircut and Open House

It has been a busy week.  I should have posted sooner!  Saturday Calleigh got her first haircut.  She was such a big girl!  It wasn't a huge cut but it definitely evened it out and looks so cute.  I think we will grow her bangs out though.  She looks so cute when I pull them back.

Tonight Preston had his open house for Kindergarten.  He was so tired on the way there that he kept saying, "Mommy I am tired.  I don't want to go to school".  Of course it was in his whiny voice.  We promised it wouldn't be long and that he could have a surprise after (dinner out).  I carried him from the van to the building (no I shouldn't be doing it but it is hard to resist!  he's so cute!).  As soon as we got in he saw the school Wolf (mascot) and gave it a hug.  Then we caught up with his friend Jason and it was on.  The boy perked up and was so excited we couldn't keep up with him!  He was excited to show us the pictures hanging outside his classroom then his journals.  Oh my gosh, so cute!!!!  He then walked us around the room to show us the different things/centers.  I literally couldn't keep up!  While his teacher talked he sat in the reading area with his friends and was having a blast.  It was great to see how quickly he has made friends and that he is enjoying himself.  Calleigh fit right in too.  She went over there with her brother and jumped in and played too!  I know my girl - she did it easily because her brother was right there.  If he hadn't been she would have been clinging to me.
I can't tell you how proud of my kids I am.  They are such good and sweet kids.  Calleigh is LOVING her new sitter.  I am so happy but yet it hurts too.  As a mom I want to be the one to do a lot of the things they are doing together with her.  I told her that tomorrow she can have some Mommy and Calleigh time and she said she wants the sitter too!  Like I said, it makes me SO happy that she is happy and learning so much but it's hard for me to see her wanting the sitter more than me!  Terry says he understands and that now I know how he feels.  Calleigh usually does this to him but it's because she wants Mommy.  I hope I am able to not be so jealous as time goes on and just be glad my daughter is happy and in good hands.  Until then, I love getting texts throughout the day of tidbits she has done, picture messages of her playing and learning and most of all leaving my daughter laughing as I go to work.  It is much better than leaving her crying!!!
This weekend will be a busy one again.  Saturday I will be working for our annual run while Terry takes Calleigh to dance.  Then Preston has his first fall tball practice in the afternoon.  Terry is the head coach so that will be fun.  We get to see a dear friend, Manny, for dinner.  He is Calleigh's Godfather.  We haven't seen him in several months - he is in for a shock when he sees her and her sassyness!!!
