That would be my Livi. I don't know what has gotten into her lately. She is always telling these stories for no apparent reason. It has really gotten bad this past week.
Today for example:
She told her teacher her brother made her sick. She didn't feel good. Mrs. Young asked me when I picked her up if Dylan had been sick because Alivia told her that her brother got her sick and she didn't feel good today. Alivia of course played along with her sad puppy dog face and said yeah I'm sick, Diggy got me sick. We get home and I ask her if she is still sick and she says "no I faked my teacher out". Nice one chicka!
She later tells me her pants fell down on the playground and everyone saw her panties. She even had to go hide in the train tunnel to pull her pants back up because everyone was laughing at her. I asked her if Mrs. Young saw and she changed her mind about that one.
When I was looking through her school work I noticed they used their scissors today. It has been pretty funny listening to how every week someone gets in trouble with the scissors. Last week Emily (Cams little sis) Cut her skirt up the week before a boy cut a big chunk out of the front of his hair etc... So I asked her if anyone got in trouble with their scissors today. She said "Yes Emily cut her hair and Mrs. Young made her go outside and told her she could never come back." Hello! I don't think the teacher is going to do this to a 4 year old. She may think it but I don't actually think she is going to do it. I ask her if I can call grandma to make sure Emily is ok. The story changes. No one got in trouble today.
I don't know where these stories come from but I sure hope this is a quick phase.
My little Dylan has not been much better. I hope he is at his peak of tantrums and it gets better from here. This past week we went to the mall to get some shoes and grab some lunch. Easy trip huh? Not really! Livi was crying and whining that she couldn't have every. single. thing. she saw and Dylan was just being a gigantic butt. Our miserable trip ended with Dylan screaming so loud and hard that he puked all over the two of us. He spent the rest of the day wearing Alivia's pink shirt. He knows he was being mean because when you ask him how his Mickey Mouse shirt got dirty he promptly tells you "I was screaming like this AAHHH! And then my mouth spit on my shirt and got it all dirty."
I hope the rest of the week gets better cause I am exhausted! The weather change isn't helping much either. The good thing is we get to go to Clubhouse Disney this Friday. It should be fun!

Things have been going good around here for us. We have got our schedules on track and everyone is happy for the most part.
Alivia still loves school. Which is great news to me. She has learned all her vowels, what sounds they make and knows how to write most of them. I am very proud of her. She has also dramatically improved on her coloring, which is a relief because she was not doing a very good job AT ALL the first two weeks of school. Here is a picture of her work on the third day of school:
It was a little embarrassing picking up work like that for a while when all the other kids stuff looked much better but I guess she just needed a little adjustment time. We finally have refrigerator worthy work now. I knew she could do pretty pictures because she does them at home all the time. Here is her picture from today... much better:
Diggy has figured out to use his free time away from sissy to play in her kitchen, with her barbie cars, play with his cars or just kick back in moms bed with some Mickey Mouse clubhouse and take a nap. He has adjusted well to telling her bye every morning but still looks forward to going to pick her up every afternoon. I keep an alarm set on my cell phone to remind me when we need to start getting ready to go and every time it goes off he has to get my phone and yell "We go get Ya Net(Alivia Jeanette)! Get her cup she hot. Lets go to ban(van)!" Its cute and I'm glad he misses her but that alarm allows mommy enough time to pick up all sissy's toys Diggy has been playing with so we don't get in trouble by the boss.
Speaking of boss. Livi sure is a miss bossy boots when she gets out of school. I think she has gotten corner time or a pop on the butt everyday within the first 45 mins. of getting out of school. Don't know what to do with that girl sometimes.
Livi had another dermatologist appointment this week. The stuff they had put on her bumps last time seems to have worked so they did the rest of the bumps this week. It was horrible! Last time they did most of the bumps on her back. She got big blisters, they popped and healed pain free everything was great. This time not so much. This week they did all the bumps in her armpit and down the inside of her upper arm. I guess this skin is way more sensitive than back skin because as soon as they started blistering she started screaming. The poor girl held her arm up over her head from about 2:00 until she finally fell asleep at about 8:30. The blisters got huge and she was even whimpering in her sleep. Cam and I went in her room at about 12:00 and popped all of her blisters since she had been so hysterical all day. She didn't even wake up and slept fine the rest of the night and was feeling much better by morning time. They look much better now and should be gone within two weeks. Hopefully this is the end of the bump war for us, unless more pop up in the next couple of weeks.

Livi did it.
Well Livi has done a lot this past week. Some good and some not so good. She started her first day of school on Tuesday and had a great time. She is the first line leader for the school year. I guess that is just the teachers helper and leader in line for a week. She has really had a good time and we have not had any problems getting her to school (you know about all of our dressing issues and sleeping in). As soon as you go in her room and ask her if she is ready to go to school she jumps up with her "Good morning sunshine" and a big kiss and runs to my room to get dressed. It's been pretty easy and fun.
Her first day of school she was excited to go but once we were walking through the parking lot she told me she didn't want to stay at school all by herself. She quickly forgot about that when she got to her classroom and saw all the fun stuff there. She got her crayons and paper and found a spot for her name tag and pushed us out the door. Cam and I went to an orientation in the fellowship hall so I didn't have to actually leave her. That was good. Her going to school was a lot easier than I thought it would be. We really like her school and are already talking about keeping her there next year.
She has gotten in trouble at school already. Well the whole class got in trouble because they wouldn't come in from the playground. She said she didn't want to come in that's why she didn't listen. Not to good of an excuse huh. She is also having a coloring problem. All the kids stuff is hung out in the hallway over their book bags and Livi's is the only one that is not colored and what small amount that was colored was scribbled and looked like a one year old did it. I asked her teacher what she was doing during coloring time and she promptly informed us that little Miss. Livi spends her color time talking... to her teacher. Imagine that! She also said that Livi has told her she doesn't like the pictures and doesn't want to color them. I guess they are working on it but I was totally expecting something like this to happen with my Liv. It has only been four days!

Next step.... school
Tomorrow is our big day. Livi is beyond excited to meet her teacher and I am so happy that she is ready for this next step in life.
Sitting here at 12:15am with my stomach in knots I relize that letting go sucks! I will not shed a tear in front of her and we will both make it through the day. I am so unprepared.
