Alyssa started preschool weeks ago and is loving it. She goes 3 days a week this year and we all love her teacher!! She is growing up and I am trying to make sure we have some special alone time together. Today just the 2 of us went to Starbucks for some girl time. We were sitting there (hot chocolate & blueberry muffin for her, Mocha latte for me :) and she said "Mom, is this the coffee place you go to with your friends at night?" When I told her yes, her eyes lit up and she said "Thanks for bringing me here." Every time I go out with my friends she always wants to come...so she finally had "coffee" with Mommy. It was a great afternoon!!
Aiden turns 2 on October 12th and I got his "monkey" party stuff in the mail today. He is turning into quite the little man. He loves balls, cars and trains and if he has any of these things he is pretty much a happy boy. I think he is having some separation issues lately and I am not sure where it is coming from, but he screams when I leave him places that are even familiar to him?? He also gets upset when he is away from Alyssa. Every time we get back in the car after dropping her off at preschool he cries and says "I wan(t) sissy, I wan(t) sissy!"
As for me, I have finally decided to run a half marathon. It is something I have wanted to do but wasn't sure if I could. So I signed up for one in October and have surprised myself with the training. I can't believe I actually feel good after running 11 miles...tomorrow I have to do 12. So wish me luck and say a little prayer for me!! Okay enough words, here are some pictures:
A little book reading time.
