She can say "diaper" :)

So...I didn't hear it..yet..but her teacher assured me that she can say it and she KNOWS what it is! Why does this excite me? It makes me feel like maybe, just MAYBE, we can move onto making her understand "potty" and I am SOOO ready for that! Two kids in diapers does not sound good to me and I should really bite the bullet and start potty training. Ahhh...wish me luck :)

Brown Bag Homework

This is "brown week" in Raeleigh's class and tonight she came home with a homework asssignment. The teacher sent home a brown paper bag to fill with brown items. Tomorrow she will "show and tell" about her items....um, yeah right! More like "throw and yell!" My creativity is running low lately (apparently 16 first graders 5 days a week will do that to you) but I have managed to gather a few items (hershey bar, brown leaf, and groovy girl with brown hair). I wish I had more time to get ideas from my friends in blog land! Oh well!
