On September 1st, we attended Taylor's wedding. Taylor is the daughter of Jeff and Brenda, the couple whose house we currently rent. Kara and Ben were very excited to go to the wedding and they were tickled to have sparking cider to toast with and drink. Kara giggled every time the couple kissed.
We made sure to have Kara take a photo with Pricess Taylor. Kara remembers exactly how many weddings she's been to and to this day, still calls our cousin's wife Princess Dinh.
During the second weekend of Septmeber, Sho played in a basketball tournament in Las Vegas. We decided to skip the trip and we cheered Daddy on in spirit.
That weekend was also Kara's first soccer game. To make sure she felt well supported, the whole family dressed in orange and blue. Sho thought it was a bit much, but Kara (and I) felt like it was good for solidarity. And Kara scored a goal!! Just to balance things out, she also started ballet class this month.
Ben likes to choose hit clothes in the morning and the other day he surprised us when he wanted very much to buy this blazer! He got dressed, so excited to wear his jacket to school, but quickly decided it's still a little too hot for this outfit. After I took this photo on my phone, he asked for his sunglasses... and we thought we were only going to have one fashionista in the house.
Can't forget Jason! Jason decided that he no longer wants the high chair and that he should join everyone at the table. He's eager to feed himself with a spoon and fork and with help, seems to get enough in to keep him happy.
When you tell Jason it's time to brush his teeth, he gets a big smile and runs to the bathroom. When you say it's time to go, he goes and grabs one shoe so that you can help him get ready. When I'm cutting fruit, he goes to the drawer, grabs a bowl and stands there waiting for his serving. If he's hungry, he'll stand by his chiar or by the refrigerator. He totally knows what's going on!
And we've heard "uh-oh" and "bah-bah" for bye-bye... and lots of screeching when there's something he wants to eat.
I've become an active Kindergarten mother... helping in the classroom, going to Parent Club meetings, volunteering to head committees... Kara is loving school and we're happy that she is happy. Here's her first class picture. Note the stance of our little princess.
Even though it feels like we've been busy, I know this is just the beginning! Let the fun begin :)
