Irelynn vs Kalaya

Here are the girls about the same age Irelynn might be a year older but it's the same sweater

Irelynn and Soccer

This is typical Irelynn on the field either fixing her hair, staying as far from the ball as possible and standing around watching the other kids fight over the ball. I was hoping soccer would make her more agressive but I guess you can take a princess to a soccer game but you can't make her play. She has always been more excited for the uniform than the actual game anyway.

First Day of School

The first day of school for horrible for me. First off we went to a meet your teacher thing on monday as soon as Irelynn walks into class this boy gets in her face and growls. Then she sees some girls coloring so she goes to sit with them and asks what they are coloring and the girl responds "why are you talking to me?" So I was already worried about her. Then I take her to school and she is really timid and doesn't want me to leave. I was doing ok. I didn't think I would cry because I was counting down the days until I had my free time but then her teacher gave me a little baggy with tea and a poem about how she's not my baby anymore she started school. I managed to only get teary eyed but not cry. When I went back to our van after dropping her off I realized I left the van door wide open so I set down the keys and buckled Kalaya and shut the door locking her inside the van with my keys... Luckily my sister lives close and brought me a spare set. I got home and read the poem to Troy and cried my eyes out. I couldn't stop crying. Then I fought with Kalaya all day to keep a diaper on. Next thing I know she comes walking into the living room with poo on her hands, nose, feet and butt and no diaper on. Then we pick up Irelynn from school and she says to me " I don't know why girls don't like me" apparently the girls were mean to her and wouldn't talk or play with her. So of course I told her it was because she was so pretty and they were jealous. I've decided it's even worse living school through your kids than doing it yourself. I am not looking forward to the next 12-18 years we have of it

Whittle Family Reunion

Goodbye old friends...

I just finished the 4th book in the Twilight series. I tried to draw out the reading as long as I could (taking 4 days to read rather than 2) I find myself wondering about all the characters and wondering what they are doing and then I remember that they aren't real. Then I start to narrate my own life in my head as I go throughout the day which is kind of annoying but will last for the next 2 days and then my mind will be back to normal. I think I am going to try to write my own book not about me but I've had an idea for a couple years now....we'll see how that goes! I'm kinda lazy (thanks dad for passing on those genes) so it will probably go no where

My little teenager

We have been having a problem with Irelynn and kissing boys. The good news is she tells us all about the boys she tried to kiss or about the "huge fights" she has with her friend Lia. It's like she is a teenager already. She came and laid on our bed in the middle of Troy and I on Sunday telling us about all the drama in her life. Troy just looked at me and started laughing. It was like having a flash forward 10 years to her really being a teenager and laying on the bed telling us her drama. Troy finally told her she wasn't allowed to kiss boys until she is 16. To which she responded but dad I just like kissing boys when I am 4
