Seven Quick Takes

It's been a while since I've done seven quick takes and I don't have a main "topic" I feel like writing about right now, so maybe I can come up with seven random things to share! 

1.

 Jack LOVES his school. We had ECFE this morning. Every morning when Jack wakes up the first thing he does is go to the Activity Board and change the day. When he figures out that it is Tuesday he screams "We are going to SCHOOL today!" it is so cute! Even the teacher told me today how much fun Jack is having in the class. And when we are in the car coming home, he always tells me "I had SO much fun at school today" This makes me happy.

Speaking of school, I have started the processes of narrowing down preschools for Jack. We are definitely enrolling him for the fall next year. We have a few places in mind, some are public some are private, the prices are all relatively the same so it's just going to be a matter of our gut feelings on the teachers and the facilities. I've gotten some great recommendations from other mom's in Jack's ECFE class. Tom and I are torn between doing two or three days. The classes are only 2 1/2 hours, either morning or afternoon. I'd prefer the morning. I'm also planning on taking Finn to his ECFE classes while Jack is at preschool. Finn will just be in the sibling care room again in the Spring while I'm at class with Jack.

Finn took his first official steps yesterday. The first time he did 3 steps up in Jack's room when we were reading books right before lunch. Then when Tom got home last night, Finn walked 3-4 steps over to him. Jack was SO excited and laughing hysterically. Finn looks so funny walking because he is SO LITTLE! Oh and another funny Finn story: sometimes when he's crawling he thinks that by lowering his head pointing to the ground it will make him go faster or something. And yesterday I seriously watched him crawl RIGHT into the wall and just pound his head. I couldn't help but chuckle just a little bit while consoling him.

 Finn is officially down to one nap a day. I thought I would dread this because it makes the morning time that much longer and that much harder to actually shower and get ready and clean breakfast dishes, etc. But he's been taking close to a 3 hour nap during the day so I'm not going to complain!

We got Jack signed up for his next swimming class at Foss starting in January sometime I think (they are like 16 weeks long, it's awesome). The first 4 weeks a parent is in the water with the child and then for the rest of the classes it's just the kids and the teacher. I have a feeling we are going to have some issues with one of us not being in the water, but we'll work through it. Last week they tried to get Jack to wear goggles. That did not work.

I'm finally getting my hair cut next Wednesday. I'm SO excited. I'm not going to chop it off or anything, but it just needs to be cleaned up. And foiled. I LOVE getting my hair done.

It took me forever to come up with seven things to write about. I hope this post didn't bore you to death. I'll leave you with two pics of Jack-a-Roo.
