Kennedy Chloe Princess BallerinaKennedy is enjoying her preschool summer program, which focuses on the solar system. She sings about all the planets (an interesting note, Pluto has already been yanked out of the line up. "Mommy, Pluto is a star, not a planet.") and frequently has daddy pretend to be the sun ("Daddy, stop moving! The sun doesn't move!") while she orbits around him.... It's fun for Sam - for the first 5 minutes. :) Kindergarten starts August 29th (seriously. I seriously have a kindergartner? wow.) and she is really looking forward to starting school and learning how to read. She is now protesting her "Bug" nickname and insists on being called Kennedy, although certain people have been given permission to call her Bug, depending on the mood they catch her in. I have yet to be given permission. Which of course, means that I'm always coming up with new nicknames for her. Most often = Mugsy.
Cooper Jackson
Weighing in at 17 pounds 1 ounce, the little mister is growing - and is on the move! He's been crawling slowly for about a month, but has recently learned to get the lead out. He is also pulling himself up on to his feet - he is really anxious to be walking! While he can crawl, he prefers to have someone walk him around the house. He thinks his sister is the funniest person on the planet. We experimented - Kennedy sat in front of him and said, "The sky is blue." - Cooper laughed and laughed and laughed. Yup, he just adores her. While I was in NY recently, Cooper went on strike and wouldn't eat for Sam. Luckily, he would take anything from big sister - and thankfully she loves to help, so her job was to feed Little CJ. He also loves cats. Any cats. Yesterday saw him stalking Kyle and Jen's Charlie - all day.
All in all, we are busy - and having such a good time! The kids are great, the house is coming along slowly but surely... & we're off this weekend to go camping with CJ & Sarah, Lara & Dave! Life is good....
Lots of love,
Jessica & Sam
