She's Mobile!

It is one day before she turns 5 months old & Evie is OFFICIALLY mobile! She first rolled back in mid-December, and then would only do it with us helping her over. Today, we were in the kitchen eating breakfast & she was chilling on her activity mat. All of a sudden, I look in the family room & she was ON HER TUMMY! Her little arms & legs were just flailing about! It was adorable! Almost like she was saying 'okay, now what do I do?' We all ran in and cheerd her, and I rolled her back over to her back -- she had never gone from her tummy to her back before. Before we know it, she rolled back over onto her tummy! A little later this morning, she went from her back to her tummy, then back to her back again! She was doing this all day today, so I think it's okay to officially say she is mobile!!! Yay Evie!!

Preschool

Today, I walked in my house & was greeted by two things on my fridge that instantly made me smile! (and no, MIke did not have the kids sitting on top of the refrigerator)

1) My first EVER note sent home from a teacher... it reads:

Andrew was caught being a good friend playing today. :)
(okay, so I get it that all preschool teachers probably send something like this home, but it still makes me smile!) (I asked him how he was a good friend -- apparently he 'shared toys and stuff with all the kids but Caitlyn.' I asked him why not Caitlyn... 'because she was sick today') :)

2) A picture that Andrew drew...it has 2 people on it, and some other scribbles and the narration of it is "Friends mommy & Andrew playing"
(when I asked Andrew what we were playing, he told me his fire truck)

Awww! We've been having a tough week this week and those two things made my day! It's like all the hard work I put in, all the frustration....and it's totally worth it! He loves me! He really really loves me! And, he behaves in a way that is appropriate when I'm not around to tell him to! This is a VERY proud mom moment!
