Carmen's second exciting news is her gymnastics class. She loves it and is so good at it. Yesterday she even climbed up a rope! She is awesome on the balance beams and loves the big long trampoline and she "sticks her landings" perfectly everytime. In class it's called "freeze". It's only 4 weeks long, so we might sign her up again.
And her last exciting news is she started Joy School! She's been waiting ever since last year to be old enough to go to preschool. Joy School is a preschool co-op for those who aren't familiar. There are five kids in her class and each week a different mom teaches the group. She has come home everytime so excited for the next time she gets to go. I really thinks she's going to learn so much from Joy School.
Aliza is prematurely entering those terrible two's. She wants to do everything herself and doesn't need any help!! Including getting herself dressed in the morning. It's doesn't ever go so well. She gets embarrassed about little things she does and gets mad when you laugh or try to fix things for her. But she is still ever so sweet and loves to read stories with daddy. She has a smile that is so contagious and that deep from the belly laughter. I just love my Aliza and know that she is going to be the sweet spirit in our family. She calls Carmen "Carmi" and can't stand her sister, but can't stand to be without her. I guess that's sisterly love.
I think that's all the update for now. Sorry it's so long, but I have just gotten so behind. There are others things I could tell about, but I'll spare you all this time.

Hooray!!! I'm so glad Carmen has decided that she loves her bed. How did you do it? I'm impressed :) And I can totally relate about the indepence thing with Aliza. Alexa has just started wanting to do everything "by self" (by myself). It's great, but sure does make things hard sometimes. Enjoy your bed!!!
Aliza looks so cute in that picture with Carmen. She looks sassy somewhat and I love it.
Enjoy the extra free time that comes from having Carmen in Joy School!
apes, will you come teach peyton how to sleep in her bed? i'm already not looking forward to moving laney to a big boy bed. i just love your blog! when i start missing you guys at school i just bring your blog up so i can have some 'bean' time! I LOVE YOU!
Hey, I like all the details! Fun to hear about other kids. Wow, I'm amazed that you put up with Carmen in your bed for 3 years...I had no idea. That is a major accomplishment! Yeah! And I like hearing about the relationship between Carmen and Aliza...sounds familiar. Kyle and Marie fight so much, but yet Marie only wants to be just like Kyle and copies everything he does. It's pretty funny at times. Joy School sounds fun...that's great that you have friends that want to do it with you. Enjoy!
