Mitchell seems to be making friends at pre-school....and enemies! He returned home from his 2nd day at the Bible Pre-School with a nice little bite mark next to his mouth! :( I am not sure what he did to prompt the other boy to bite him, but apparently after the bite Mitchell told the little boy "No, I do NOT like that. You are going to get a BIG spankin'!" While his teacher felt terrible for the situation, she did comment that Mitchell is one of her more "verbally gifted" students. She claimed that our little tough guy didn't even cry when bit. It has turned into a nice little bruise today. Hopefully it'll heal soon!
Exhibit A
Exhibit A
Maverick is trying desperately to pull up on things lately. He gets to the below position very easily and is trying to hoist himself onto his feet next. He can do it on lower surfaces like steps, but not quite on higher surfaces such as chairs or tables. It won't be long!
Exhibit B
I can barely express how much we love our nanny situation right now. We absolutely love Alicia. She is fabulous with the kids and very flexible with my sparatic schedule. I had short campus events every day of the week last week and she was so great to cover all of them, she may even do an overnight stay in October. Mitchell seems to really like her and is always asking where she is when she's not around. I just pray that we're able to keep her around for a while!
Mitchell has come to realize that when Alicia comes, that means I'm leaving. :( Although he loves to see her, he would still rather not have me leave! Last week, I explained to him that I had to leave to go to an event at K-State where Willie the Wildcat lives. The next day I had to "visit the Jayhawk". Alicia came to watch the boys again today, and Mitchell immediately said "I don't want you to go see Willie the Wildcat. He doesn't need you, but I do!" That is a hard one to disagree with!
I recently asked him what he thinks he'll be when he is big enough to go to college....a Wildcat, a Jayhawk or a Tiger? He informed me that he will be a Jayhawk for college, but that he would like to be a Tiger for halloween (which is what he was last year). We'll see about that! And yes, I should've thrown a Husker in there for Jacob and my Dad. The girls at the gym the other day were laughing about him his random chants of "Go Big Red!"

Wow, I can't believe a kid bit him on the face! I've seen arms and shoulders, but, wow! What a good sport Mitchell seems to have been.
"Exhibit B" is getting to be such a big boy! Wow, time flies.
