I did explain to her that if she continued to smile that big she wasn’t going to get any sympathy; she needed to milk it for all it’s worth.  Think she got the point??

I got this neat calendar for the kids.  We have started talking about the months of the year, weeks, days, etc.  Each morning we have gone into the kitchen and they have told me the month, turned around the next number for today’s date and then told me the day of the week.  The number down further that are already turned around are days we are looking forward to. 

August 14 – First Day of School
August 16 – Daddy’s birthday
August 21 – Aunt Anna’s birthday
August 30 – Bubba turns 3!!!

Little keeps pointing to random white cards and saying, “That one can be Uncle Brice’s birthday.” 
And there you go. . .
