I looked back and the last time I've sent one of these out was over a month ago. Probably because not much changes or happens around here. We like it that way. Boring is the way to go.
Pre-school
Miciah is attending pre-school now. She started 2 weeks ago and seems to really be enjoying it. From what I've seen, I'm sure that she spends a good part of the time following the 2 adults around the classroom and bugging them. During group time she has to get the teachers' attention, all that good stuff. She'll learn. That's why she's there. She also talks a lot about a little girl named Norene, I think. Today she told me that Norene told her they could be friends. I guess this is good news. :) Today they sent home an injury incident report (she got hurt on the playground) that I have to sign and send back. It's weird, I'm signing papers for my daughter who is old enough to go to pre-school. It all is just weird to me.
The pre-school she goes to is not very traditional learning focused, and I'm pleased with that. They do a lot of learning activities, but they're not forcing her to read or write Shakespeare. It's like a very organized play group where they do a lot of fun things and I don't have to clean it up. Again, I never thought I'd care about pre-school philosophies and it's all still weird to me.
I am also liking Miciah going to pre-school. :) It gives me a little time to do some things that were just too frustrating to do with Miciah around. For example, my cross stich is finished. And I've got a ton more projects lined up to do that weren't worth the headache before. I also like the time it gives me to play with Elijah alone. Elijah is such a sweet kid and requires very little effort on my part. So it's a joy to have him to myself. He also naps for a good portion of Miciah's pre-school time, generally, so I'm getting used to the house being quiet. The first time she was gone, though, it felt like when I'd come home when I was younger and everyone would be gone (which hardly ever happened) and it wouldn't freak me out that I was alone, just that the house was quiet. The house shouldn't be quiet with a 3 year old around! :) I feel like I should walk around humming to myself and bouncing a ball and watching TV.
Rob as YM President
Rob will be getting a new calling in 2 weeks. The bishop called us both in to talk to us and I was gearing up to get a couple calling and I don't want another calling. I like my calling (YW 1st counselor). Well, just Rob got a calling. He's only had his current calling a few months--he's the 11 year old boy Primary teacher. Which is fun. But he's been called to be the Young Mens' President. I'm excited! He'll do a great job with the boys. The 2 counselors will stay in place, so not much will change as far as that goes. Rob is excited and scared all at the same time. There's some apprehension, as there always is, about if he'll do a good job or not. But of course he will. Rob said his dream calling is the Ward Choir Director, which he did here for a while. I told him that it is probably the last time he'll ever be called to that. He's just too talented and too good at leadership to be the Ward Choir Director. ... All the Young Women already love Rob. I had him do the Gay French Bear for them, along with all his other funny voices (if you haven't already heard him do the Gay French Bear, call him up and ask him to do it. He loves showing it off), so they think he's the funniest thing ever (which he is). He also did a little semi-stand up comedy gig based off the Book of Mormon for a fireside recently. So the youth, in general, like him. Who doesn't like Rob? :)
That's about it for now. Sorry life is boring here and yet I write paragraph upon paragraph anyway. :) Someday it will be something exciting. But, like I said, we like boring. We love you all.
Tamra, Rob, Miciah, and Elijah
