Pretty Pretty Princess

Does anyone remember the game pretty pretty princess? you went around the board collecting rings, necklaces, and tiaras. well i swear my darling little ronan would love that game. every day the child finds something to dress himself up with. hats, necklaces, heels, backpacks, rings, hair clips, headbands, etc. he cracks me up! the other day he went outside to play with playdoh with the monkey harness backpack and his brothers' darthvader winter beanie. and it was 95 degrees out. he's so stinkin' cute. and he's always stealing jade's hair things.
speaking of jade, that little girl is getting so big! i have a feeling she is not going to be a pretty pretty princess. i'm thinking tomboy already. when the boys wrestle, ben takes her and sits her on the boys' faces and i swear she cracks up! she knows already that she's dominating them and it gives her joy. she's a very physical little girl. she loves to roll around on the bed, shake her legs, and squish her brothers. and screech at me. oh can that girl scream. not cry, oh no, she rarely cries, she just screeches like a dying owl. its dreadful. she's also eating more and more lately. she cracks me up too. she loves her baby food! she'll eat a ton and then screech when i take it away. i think she'd eat all day if given the chance.
and lastly, little zander. he's growing up so fast! it's frightening! on tuesday he starts preschool two days a week. he is beyond excited to start! i have to admit, having at least two days with only two kids is kind of appealing. but it's gut wrenching thinking my baby is growing up so quickly. he's obsessed with science and learning and has discovered the green planet channel which is his new happy place. always watching the sea specials. i asked what kind of kindergarten he wanted to go to and he said he wanted to go to a school where they learn science and play with magnets. what?! where does he come up with this stuff?
and don't get me started on my research for the right school district....ugh....these are the times i wished i lived in delton. one school. one school. just one school.
