Micah has recently mastered sitting by himself, so we decided he's ready to join his brothers during bathtime. He was actually a little fussy this evening but was happy as soon as he got in the tub with his brothers. AJ was very concerned about being careful not to splash him or scare him.
This was a big day for the Wangs. AJ started preschool and Mama started grad school. This picture is the best I could get. He had been very excited to start school but then got hesitant when the actual day arrived. He wanted to stay home with Grandma, his cousin and his brothers. He ended up having a great time and on the car ride home said, "Thanks for bringing me to school, Mom."
As for me, I've entered Hamline University's graduate program. I'm pursuing my K-12 Reading Licensure. This will work towards renewing my teaching license, to equip me in the area of education I've always been passionate about.....helping struggling readers. My first class went very well. The reason I'm writing this at 2:30 am, however, is because of the caffeine in my system. I needed it to get through the 4-hour class! I'm so excited about the program and am thankful for the support of my mom and husband on the home front.
Here's a clip of AJ riding a little zip-line while we were up at Covenant Pines camp. I don't know if it's lack of fear or lack of realization you could get hurt, but AJ tried this without hesitation and loved doing it over and over again.
No, I'm not talking about the craziness of work right now. Rather, we thought we'd share just another day in the life of the Wang family. This video was actually taken from a nice quiet Sunday morning. Is it any wonder why Micah really doesn't do well when his brothers are gone?Also, we went to the Great Minnesota Get Together (State Fair), and strapped on the feedbag. Lately, Jordan has been demonstrating a canine-like ability to lick a bone clean. So, we thought we'd give him a new challenge with this Turkey leg!
Needless to say, he didn't finish it. But where else can you go and have permission to eat with your hands and make a mess of yourself in public. The fair was definitely a little more challenging with three, as compared to two. But, our friends the Wohlrabes were there with their double-stroller to help out. It is our 6th year in a row with them at the fair, and 5th year in a row where someone has been pregnant!!! Also, one interesting note, the deep fried cheese curd stand was advertising that they were Trans Fat Free. As if that is supposed to make me feel better.
A rare moment where Micah actually quietlytolerated his brothers smothering him for anextended period of time (10 minutes)!
