Help Support Our School

Our school is trying to raise money to help get our new daycare home up and running. We're supposed to move into a new building by Christmas. It will take a small miracle and a lot of cash. For those of you who don't know, my school is run by the parents and staff, not a for profit business. The school provides care for families of all incomes and we are only one of two centers in Chapel Hill providing a sliding scale for tuition. If you want to help support our school please consider buying a fresh Fraser Fir wreath or white pine rope to decorate your home for the holidays. To read more about our fundraiser or to print an order form, go to http://www.childcarematters.blogspot.com Mom says you can also send her an email if you'd like to order something. THANKS!

ChaCha is still trying to figure out the world and doesn't like it if he can't keep moving, preferably in some one's arms. Mom thinks he just doesn't want to be a baby. He wants to be big like me. I am so lucky 'cause mom says we get to keep him.

New Kid in School

There's a new kid at my school and guess who it is?? Mom's back to work so ChaCha started school this week. I am showing him the way and helping to get him settled in. So far all of the activities have been wearing him out and he can't keep his eyes open at night. Sometimes my teachers bring ChaCha into the Rocket room so I can say hi to him. I also get to rub his head and tickle his toes. I am glad I can help my baby brother at school.

Speaking of Charlie he is getting bigger and bigger. Tonight he turned himself over from his belly to his back. I think it surprised him. He also is starting to like his exersaucer and his new Bumbo seat. He gets to sit on the table and watch me eat breakfast in the morning. Here is a picture of ChaCha in his exersaucer and one of him on his first day of school! There are also some new pictures from Aunt Gooch and Mike's visit on the right side. Mike taught me how to play frisbee golf! And he loves cars almost as much as I do. I loved seeing my Aunt Gooch again, maybe she'll come back soon.
