The things kids say......

Jackson started kindergarten here on Tue. It's an all day kindergarten. In Utah he onle has class for about 2 1/2 hours in the morning. We don't have that option here. When I picked him up after his first day he said "Mom, that was the longest kindergarten I have EVER been too! I don't want to go anymore." But he has kept going and he seems to like most of it. They have a lot of extra play things in their classroom and they get to do extra classes like art, music, and PE. It's been a little hard to have him gone that long everyday. I'm not used to it. It's probably better for him than being cooped up in the hotel though. Hopefully it keeps going well.

The other day Maggie kept saying something I didn't understand so I told her to ask in a different way. She said "You want me to change it? Do you want me to say it in Spanish?" Not exactly what I meant but entertaining none the less.

Hailey is starting to pick up a few more words. She has been the latest talker for us so far. She will say apple, ball, meow, woof, night night, hi daddy, sometimes the names for the rest of us, and no. She will sign eat, drink, swim, and bath. She is just now starting to get frustrated with us when we don't understand her so maybe that will motivate her language skills a little.
