Dinosaurs Got Stinky....

Crazy Kids

And died. That is what Erin said to me last night as we did one of her dinosaur sticker books. I was confused until I realized she meant that dinosaurs went EXTINCT and died, not got stinky. I thought that was hysterical. She's so into words and learning what they mean and how to spell them, it's great. The other day, she was walking with GrandJo who warned her to stay on the path because of the poison ivy that was around. Erin asked "why aren't there girls in ivy??" After which GrandJo had to explain that it was 'poison' with a P, not "boys in" with a B. As you can see in the picture, she's also into putting funny things on her brother's head. This morning she put a yellow headband on him but then decided to wear it herself. Sean started at St. Anne's this week - he's just going a couple of days a week in May and will start every morning in June. He seemed unphased by it. I'm sure he'll like it as much as Erin. Erin is getting anxious to start at her new school, however. Yesterday she said 'Mommy, when is August going to get here??" I'm trying to strike a balance between getting her prepared for the move and making her anxious about it. Sean is sitting up on his own and has learned (thanks GrandJo!) how to drink from a straw sippy-cup. Life goes forward apace......
