Today I'm sending Addi off to school in high waters. Is it raining? Well, actually it is. But I found out this morning that Addi recently grew an inch and 1/2. In 2 months! So the only pair of jeans that half fit are just a little too short. Get out the wallet Bill - time for Mama to go shopping!
Another quick note- Addi got in trouble for hitting and pushing last Thursday. WHAT!?!?!?! Not my daughter! I got pulled aside by the teacher and asked if Addi normally played aggressively with other kids. And I thought "Not older kids, just 1 yr old brothers- like pulling his feet to keep him from crawling, laying on him, tackling him to the ground- but never hitting!"
Turns out that Addi has a new best friend named Katie. And as with all girl best friend relationships it is a Love and Hate one. Evidently they follow each other around all day and play. And then the "It's mine!" starts and then the slug-fest ensues. Hopefully this week will be better and Addi won't have to defend herself- because, surely my daughter didn't throw the first punch. :)

Fortunately, I've not had hitting/biting issues in schools, but the girls have been mean to each other and to neighbor kids. Sarah got to be pretty non-verbal when she hit 3 because a lot of people couldn't understand her words (it's taken years of speech to get to understand the child) and when she felt threatened, she would hit or bite, and it was always provoked. She could have a second chance, but if she repeated the offense, we went straight home. It happened most at the play area in the First Colony Mall. Those were rough times...she never did it at school though!
BTW, Sarah grew a lot in the past month too! Her skorts and shorts were all too short for her to wear to school, so I did get her some new stuff. Julia is kind of between sizes right now. It's a pain. She can still wear 5s but is better off in 6s in most things (and yes, she's ONLY 4) but I put some size 6 knit Osh Kosh pants on her the other day and they were way too long!
