is when baby Franson #3 will be here! I guess one advantage to having a c-section is that you know the date and time your baby will arrive. And I'm not worried, my body has no idea how to go into labor early, unfortunately. :) Mark your calendars!

Alex

I'm worried.

When are girls supposed to have their first crush?

Is 4 too early?

I think its too early.

It all began a few weeks after school started. Adalin mentions Alex. He rides her bus. He isn't in her class though. My first question was: how does she really know this kid then? She began by smiling at him. At first there weren't any smiles coming back. When he did smile back at her she was more excited than I have seen her in a long time. I'm talking running and shouting as she got off the bus. Ok...

Smiles weren't enough. She takes it upon herself to ask the bus aid if she can sit by him. Aggressive? I think so. So now they sit together everyday. She is still working on getting him to talk to her. He's a little shy in that department.

Then she tells me over the weekend: Mom, I just can't stop thinking about Alex.

I think this is kind of cute, but I'm kinda freaking out. Does she just want to befriend the shy kid? Make a new friend? Does she think he's cute? Does she even know the difference between a cute boy and his opposite? Are girls as young as Adalin really capable of having little crushes? Sheesh!

Last Morning

I used to wonder, back when Adalin was our only child, how on earth parents forget which child of theirs said or did ________ (fill in the blank.) I understand now. I am forgetting things that my kids used to do. I often ask Adam if Adalin or Kira said this or did that. Its sad.

So I need to begin writing down random little things about these silly girls of mine, so that when we read this blog/journal thing 10/20/30 years down the road, they will know just how funny they were.

So here goes it:

When Kira refers to anything that happened in the past, as in the previous day or before, she ALWAYS begins by saying, "last morning .... " It is pretty funny. For example: "Last morning I was a butterfly for Halloween." It's cute.

While we were eating dinner last night I told Adalin that Daddy had to work all night (ER rotation, ugh) and that he wouldn't be able to sleep at all. She says (in a very motherly, practical problem-solving sort of way): "Well, just call the hospital and tell them you don't want to go to work tonight." Very practical. If only that would were possible. :)
