What's New With Rylie?

We have been teaching Rylie how to drive this summer. She's doing a hell of a job, I tell ya!

OK, anyway......

Rylie finished her last day of ESY (extended school year) today. She's not going to be happy. Seriously, you won't ever find a kid who loves school as much as her! That's why I didn't feel bad sending her. So she'll have about five weeks off and then back to kindergarten. She'll have the same teacher as last year and hopefully the same one on one aide. She had a great bunch of classmates last year. They were so accepting of Rylie, and were such a big help to her. Even though they will all go ahead of her, I think it's great that she'll always have a group of kids in the next grade to "look after" her.

Other then that , there is not much to report. She's happy, healthy and she's just enjoying being a kid, and driving her sisters a little crazy. LOL!

Cesalie's Minor Surgery

Cesalie had minor surgery today to have her Tongue Tie corrected. She did great! She was only in surgery for less then five minutes. She was back to herself right away. She doesn't seem to be in any pain at all now. We haven't had to give her any tylenol.

When she was an infant, Dr. ENT thought her tongue tie was mild, but now at two years old it didn't seem so mild. She's a very picky eater and she is always spitting her food out of her mouth. We were wondering if maybe the tongue tie had something to do with it and the doctor said possibly. It didn't seem to be effecting her speech, but it's hard to tell if a two year old is talking funny. YKWIM???? Anyway we decided to get the surgery and it worked out good.

Happy 2nd Birthday Cesalie

My Dear Cessie.

Wow, it has been two wonderful and EXHAUSTING years. You make me laugh and cry everyday! I laugh because your so darn cute. Your vocabulary has exploded this past year and you say the funniest things. When I sing to you, you cover your ears and tell me to STOP IT! I laugh when you you sing RAIN RAIN, GO AWAY(because it's been raining for 2 weeks now). By the way, I'm sorry your birthday party was cancelled, because of the rain, but we will have it next week. I laugh when you yell at your sisters and think your the boss. I laugh when you sing the whole theme song to Phineus and Ferb. I think it's so funny how you are not interested in shows like Barney or Sesame Street, but your favorite shows are Sponge Bob and Phineas and Ferb. Your favorite movie is Cars, which is why you are have a Cars themed birthday party!

Sometimes you make me cry when you won't sleep at night and you whine all day. I cry when I'm constantly picking up the food you throw all over the place and when I am constantly scrubbing the walls because you are obsessed with coloring on them along with the furniture. Ok, I don't really cry because of these things, but you definitely make me want to pull my hair out sometimes:) But you do melt my heart when I pick you up and you wrap your arms around me and squeeze me extra tight. When you tell me that you LOVE me, I get alittle bit emotional.


You are very shy and you still have stranger anxiety. Whenever you are babysat by someone you cry the entire time. You just love mommy and daddy so much that you don't want us to ever go anywhere without you. And that's OK...I'm glad we are on your good side.LOL!

I'm excited about what this year has in store for you. You are loved more then you'll ever know! I hope you have a great birthday and enjoy your presents. We got you a Princess Patio set that you can color on. Seriously....

Love,

Mommy
