Graem just started school this morning and I can’t believe that she’s getting big so fast!
I know there will come a time when she will want to do things by herself and this Christmas we even talked about getting her a computer and putting games and educational programs on it.
Graem’s already started playing with some of the sponsored kid’s websites online. Most of the time we are within arm’s reach and teaching her how to navigate.
However, I know that over time that will change and she’ll want to do it by herself!
We’re very cautious about the internet and young eyes!
I’ve looked into spy software and I think it is really an option for us! Not only can we see every single keystroke that is typed into our computers but we can monitor what she sees on a regular basis.
You can never be too active in your child’s internet useage and I have heard horror stories of parents that don’t take an active role in their child’s life.
SpySoftware.com offers a great website with articles on how to use spy software for personal and business use.
Having two girls means we really need to be aware and protective! It’s our job!

graemschoolphotoGraem went back to school today and it was a bit sad. She’s at Montessori and so it’s not really broken into kindergarten, 1st grade, etc.
Next week she will ride the bus and I’m sure it’s going to hit me then waiting for the bus how my little girl is growing up so fast!
Here’s a photo I took this morning as my little girl walked down the hall with her best friend, Ava.

We’re starting to think that maybe Graem should stick with math and piano!
She was doing soccer and didn’t care for it. Then she really started liking gymnastics and so we did gymnastics camp.
Now she has a broken ankle.
One of our friends suggest horse riding lessons and I could totally see Graem sporting some riding boots but I think we might take a break until school starts!

So once again I have an earache. I think I mentioned how I went to the local ER last weekend. Well, it wasn’t better by Monday and so I had to go to the doctor. He gave me antibiotics, narcotics, and drops.
Today my ear is still sore AND I can’t hear!
I’m freaking out a little bit because I really don’t want to lose my hearing and I’ve heard that sometimes these earaches can be bad enough that you will.
So my primary calls for a consult with an ENT and they can’t get me in til Wednesday. Ridiculous. You’d think that they’d have some emergency appointments for people who can’t HEAR??!?!

Just got an email from one of our friends that they will be coming to our paint party tomorrow. SCORE. Not only are they good painters BUT…the more the merrier when it comes to painting.
I’d love to be able to get the 2nd coat on the trim and then a full coat on the house.
We’ll see what 5 people can do in 2-4 hours!!!
