Adventures with Little Mouse!

Meet Little Mouse
In William's kindergarten class, Mrs. Ruwitch has a mouse that gets to go on adventures with each of the kids throughout the year.  She sends it with them for the weekend and you're supposed to bring it back on Monday with a little write up of the adventures that Little Mouse had with your child.  Fortunately for William, he got to take Little Mouse home on one of his long weekends which meant even more fun!
Here's all that Little Mouse got to do...
Coloring, coloring and more coloring...One of William's favorite things to do.
He told Mrs. Ruwitch that he taught Little Mouse how to color while he stayed with him (o;

I was pretty impressed with this one!
He went along with William to spend the night at his buddy Evan's house!
The three hooligans
He got to experience the Rescue Boat with Dad!

Spray some water...

And even drive the boat (o;
I'd say that little brother enjoyed him just as much as William did (o;
I created a picture collage with our favorites to put in the book sent back to school.  This is the write up that was included:

William hung onto that mouse until he walked into the classroom.  I think he felt pretty special to get to take him home.  I hadn't realized it, but on the way back to school the Monday we took him back, William drew this picture.  Our drive is less than ten minutes long...He's always impressing me with his artwork.

William and Little Mouse
I think I was most impressed with what happened after William took Little Mouse back to school. When you bring him back, Mrs. Ruwitch has you stand in front of the classroom and describe all that you did.  I happened to be volunteering that day and witnessed William get in front of the entire class and not only explain all of his pictures, but answer other kid's questions...and with enthusiasm!  For those who know him, this was a huge step for him!  Definitely a make mama (and Daddy after we went home and told him) proud moment (o;

Oct. 6th, 2008 We're having a... 20 weeks 5 days

...BOY!!!!! We were very pleased to see a very healthy little baby on the monitor. He clearly let us see that he was a boy despite the fact that he's facing breech right now. All systems intact, his hands have fingers and his feet have toes, and his little heart was beating about 136bpm. He weighs in at approx 14 ounces so he's already almost hit a 1 pound (they said he measured a little bigger than what was expected for my due date). He was moving around quite a bit and kept putting his hands in front of his face while we were trying to get pictures. Curtis said "This little guy doesn't know he's got the wrong family; we're all mellow." We are so thankful that everything measures out fine and that things are progressing well. We get to go in for our 3-D ultrasound Nov. 21st. Happy Birthday Mel (her birthday is today!), you're gonna be Auntie to a nephew!

Sept. 17th, 2011 30 weeks (and 2 days) with #2!

Really? 30 weeks already?! WHERE DID THE TIME GO???!!! He'll be here before we know it! Well, we just keep pluggin' along. Every day his kicks get a little stronger and the belly gets a little bigger-two blessings (you have to count them as that right?!) that remind me he's alive, well and growing. A couple of friends have had their baby's in July and Sept. and it's definitely become more of a reality that I'm next now that they have their little ones (o: We are SO excited and just so very thankful that everything is going so well. It's simply amazing to me how a woman can continue on with life so normally as their body is used as a station of creation by God to form a new human being..."amazing" doesn't even capture it...We serve an incredible God! Here's me and my goofy William, posing with little brother. I got him to take pictures with me by convincing him he could roll his tongue like mom was doing...Guess my boys have a prett...

Jan. 12th, 2012 Potty Training

Image
We've been working with William on potty training. We started seriously thinking about it this past Summer, when he could run around naked outside and watch himself pee (in the grass and not all over the house!). He caught on pretty quickly (to the peeing part that is) and had fun picking different objects to pee on (trees, rocks, leaves...fortunately not the dogs). Then, I decided we weren't gonna push the issue until after brother was born. I'd heard all kinds of people tell me that he would likely just regress, so I figured we'd at least introduce the whole concept and pick back up after Calvin was born. Sportin' the birthday suit while we practiced outside...I'm sure the pool had plenty of pee in it too. We told William that babies like Calvin wore diapers and that he wasn't a baby anymore. I guess this is where big boys wear their diapers...And for some reason I can't find this picture of this one for the life of me (one of William wearing a d...
