My Sweet Kiddos!

I waited a long time to be a mommy and seriously dreamed of all of the fun firsts, like when your child is the spotlight and such. Well Hema is the Special Helper at his preschool this week. I have been sick and a little busy with our stake women's conference and nearly forgot his poster for preschool!! He was so excited to make it and wanted to do it all by himself. He had very specific ideas of what pictures he wanted it to include: football, fishing, his family, Katie, a missionary tag, swimming, his birthday, dinosaurs, lions, little giraffes and big giraffes and it had to be on green poster board (we could only find this bright one and luckily he loved it). When I went to drop him off at preschool, he wanted me to take a picture of him with his poster! So cute!!

He LOVES preschool and loves to learn or do any kind of homework. He especially enjoys his little workbooks. He is such a good boy!! I am so grateful to be his mommy and am trying to soak in every minute of his sweet life! How could you not love this sweet face??

This week we started Vela's swim lessons. For those of you who don't know, our swim teacher is a bit... well for lack of a better word intense. Little Hema really gave her a run for her money and I was a bit stressed out that Vela might be the same. She started on Monday and has done awesome! Today was her 4th lesson and she floated on her back for about a minute. She is doing so well! I can't swim. I never have been able to and I think that is why it is so important for me that my kids feel safe and confident in the water. I love our swim teacher!! I seriously want to take lessons next!!

People often ask me if I miss my old job. I don't even have to pause for a second - NO WAY!! This is the best job ever!!! I love my sweet kiddies and am so grateful to be their mommy!
