Marsolek Family: 3 wishes

This morning Kinsey and I were working on her poster for school and it has a place for her to put her 3 wishes.

Her wishes in order were as follows.
1. I wish I had a unicorn horse.
2. I wish to be a pretty princess.
3. I wish Cole will be my best friend forever.

Talk about melting my heart!!! I love that our kids are so close, they truly adore each other and I am so proud. Kinsey watches Cole get on the school bus every day and says, "I'm sure gonna miss Cole". And when Cole gets home from school he jumps out of the FJ and runs to the house to see Kinsey and Kenna or if we pick him up he gives them each a hug first thing. Yep, did I say school. That's right, you read it correctly, Cole is in Kindergarten this year. Choking back the tears. Here's a recap.

Lil Miss Kenna turned "1", yes ONE, on August 10th. I cannot believe it. She's a walking, babbling, 3 toothed, smiling monster now. LOL We refer to her as "the destroyer" or "King Kong" because she loves to wreck anything and everything the kids build.

{She loves to say... hi which kind of sounds like eye, bye, bah bye, dadda, daaaaad, daaaaa, mamma, ma, mom, puppy, hot which is ot, up, down, more, uh oh, out, nigh nigh for night night} She also picks up the phone and says hi and bye. LOL She also is by far the bossiest out of the 3, how is that possible and has started throwing herself on the floor in a temper tantrum. Oh boy. But she's so smiley and so bubbly, thank goodness she has a great personality most of the time to make up for the part monster she is too. hahaha

I turned choke gag 31 August 22nd also. shhhhhh

Princess Kinsey started another year of preschool at Our Saviors yesterday. I will say this many times throughout the year but we cannot be more thrilled to have our kids a part of the preschool program at Our Saviors. The teachers are amazing and when I barely walk in the door and Kinsey has taken off running to go hug her teachers you know you've got something good :o) But it's not just the fact that the kids have loved it at Our Saviors, it's truly what they have taken away from being a part of their school that has really been amazing. Kinsey has also started dance {ballet and tap} at Jewelry Box Dancer. I could've cried watching Kinsey on her first day. She was so happy! She smiled the entire time and her face just glowed with excitement and love. She stayed focused the entire time and listened to her teacher Miss Callie the entire time. I was so proud of her and I am so excited every week for her to go! She learned postion 1, 2, 3, releve, pleye (I have no clue how to spell that and an arabesque the first night and she has been practicing them every day since :o).

Mr Cole turned "6" on August 31st. Ugh my oldest is SIX already. And the very next day he started Kindergarten. I was truly devastated, my oldest starting school, I wasn't ready, although he was ready, I wasn't ready. I have always been home with the kids and though there are days I'd like to ship them all to the moon, I am so fortunate to be home with them. And I wasn't ready to let him go...until I saw how ready he was to go! In one day he matured years, he was ready, he was independent, determined, excited and eager to learn, to be at school, to be a big kid. He wanted to ride the bus right away, but I told him he had to break me in slowly and at least let me take him the first couple days. He was ok with that, but come Tuesday he was ready to ride the bus and that he did, like he'd always has. I am SO glad we gave him another year before putting him in Kindergarten, see the cutoff is September 1st here, so he turned 5 the day before and could've started, but we decided to give him another year to mature, to grow, to prepare and seeing the confidence he has now and how he handles things I am SO glad we did. Cole has been racing his dirt bike a lot this summer. And he continues to get faster and faster on it. He will race an indoor circuit this winter at an indoor arena not far from us. He will also be starting hockey in a couple weeks.
