The Texas Teels

another week, another update.

lots of fun things happened this past week, so here goes!

the biggest news, PRESLEY IS NOW 4 AND A HALF.
she has been asking me for MONTHS when she will be 4 1/2 and the day finally came.
she woke up on tuesday and walked into my room and i said, "oh hey 4 1/2!" and she snapped back, "i don't think i'm 4 1/2 just yet, because i got up and looked in the mirror and i still look 4?! so maybe later today after dance i'll be 4 1/2."
so then on the way to dance, i guess she realized she was actually 4 1/2 because she kept saying things like, "look how long my legs got! look how long my toes got, even that little toe is long! look at my long arms. i am so growned!" 😂
the rest of the week (and even still today) she has been adamant about telling anyone who will listen that she is 4 1/2.
we also went to the doctor that day for her kindergarten physical and she had to get FOUR shots and a finger poke....NOT FUN.
BUT, later that night we took the kids to see pj masks live at the rabobank and they both had fun! eli was SO into it, he did awesome.

the next day at school i told presleys teacher that she had her vaccines the day before and her legs might be sore and presley quickly added, "AND I'M 4 1/2".

friday we had movie night at our clubhouse. they put up a huge screen and had pizza and popcorn and we watched trolls. we love our neighborhood!

randy and chih were obviously enjoying the movie.

eli mostly loved the popcorn, of course, but sat through about half the movie with his friend lucas!

tomorrow i register my baby girl for kindergarten... well, if all goes as expected, i guess. i am not only having anxiety about this HUGE moment in both of our lives, but i've been stressing about the logistics of the whole situation as well. i have all the paperwork i need (i think), and i've looked at the checklist at least once a day for 3 months, but i'm still worried i'll forget something. as if they're not gonna let her in if i don't get her registered on day one. i just like to be on top of things like this!

pray for me.

how is this baby gonna be in kindergarten in six months? 😭

one quick presley-ism i don't want to forget...

anytime she sees a question mark, for instance when her tablet loses it's wifi connection a question mark pops up on the screen, she calls it a mystery. "mom there's a mystery!"

and an eli anecdote i don't want to forget...

he tries VERY hard to talk to alexa and he can get her attention, but getting her to play his songs (any song blippi sings) is challenging. so he was like, "ALEXA! play tractor!" and she was like, "sorry, i didn't quite get that, can you repeat that?" and he was like, "no." and walked away. 😂
