Big Girl, Natalie!

On Saturday, Natalie's new furniture was delivered. She was very excited about getting a "big girl" bed, but was at first a little upset when she saw Matt taking her crib and dresser out of her room. Once the delivery guys had the room all set up, and we got Natalie's new bedding on, she was ecstatic once again. Since she's been in her big bed, she's actually been sleeping in past 7 o'clock!!! So hooray....an extra hour or so of sleep! I did her bedding in ladybugs thinking that I had enough sorority stuff left over to completely accessorize with....but unfortunately, I gave most of my stuff to my sorority sisters when I graduated thinking, "I'll never use this stuff again!"

This week was Nolan's first full week of school (with Fridays as the exception). So far, he's done great! Monday was the first day that he got to ride the bus to school, so he was super happy about that. Natalie, on the other hand, was quite upset that she couldn't get on the bus too! So far this week, she has thrown a fit about not getting on the bus....but I'm hoping it will wear off soon! On Monday, she was so upset with me for not letting her on the bus that she came home an peed in the rocking chair! I'm telling you now, this little one is gonna be a handful! But as the morning drug on, she eventually got over it and had a pretty good day....I think she likes being the big kid of the house while Nolan is gone....less competition.

As far as it goes with Nolan and school, I have got some more information out of him. He has come home with a stamp on his hand for being good. I'll ask him if all the kids got stamps, and so far each day, a boy named Eddie has not! Eddie likes to throw rocks on the playground....so he always gets time-outs. Nolan says that he's NEVER going to get in trouble at school, and hopefully this will be a true statement. He also has told me who some of his new friends are. He said one little girl told the teacher, "Miss Gena, I have a friend." Miss Gena asked her who it was, and she pointed at Nolan. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since he's so social, but it still warms my heart to know he's making friends so quickly at school. Carl is still his best bud....they ride the bus together in the morning and afternoon. This morning, he and Carl were running up and down the street together at the bus stop...with Natalie fast on their heels trying to keep up! Carl's mom is expecting a baby in October, so she and I have something in common to talk about at the bus stop too! Out of nine women in our subdivision who are pregnant or have recently given birth, all of us are having boys! We do have one other pregnant neighbor who is having an ultrasound next week to find out the sex of her baby, and she thinks that she will be the trend-breaker....so we'll see....otherwise, I'm convinced that there is something in our water that's producing so many boys!!!

Natalie is headed to Mom-o's house today to spend the night. She was very excited about going, and marched around all morning wanting to know if it was time to go. We packed her clothes in her new Hello Kitty backpack (which she had to get when we bought Nolan's backpack). She looked so cute prancing around with her backpack on, waiting for her daddy to tell her it was time to go! She's ready to go hang out with Mom-o and pinch Pops and pull his hair too!!! Gotta love a girl who knows how to aggravate!
