August 9, 2000

Hello,

Sometimes I wonder if I could love anyone as much as I love Jordan. I mean I love the baby but I have this special bond with Jordan, we can just look at each other and laugh. She knows how to make me smile when I'm upset or mad. She tries my patience like no other but I can't stay mad at her and I find that I want to give her everything. I constantly have to hold back because I want to get her everything she says she wants. I want to bring her gifts when ever I go out even just to the grocery store, I have to restrain from buying her a little goody or toy. I try to limit it to once a month so she doesn't expect things all the time. Does anyone else feel this way? I wonder if I'll do it when Jazmine gets older. Both the girls have birthdays in the next couple of months and I have no idea of what I want to get Jazmine but I know so many things that Jordan wants.

My MIL and I are going this Thursday to check out a Montessori pre-school for the fall. Anyone have any options on that type of school? I had never heard of it and I haven't found that much about it on the Internet. I really want to get her into a pre-school, I know she will enjoy it. She is so outgoing, she loves story time at the library (I wish it was longer than 30 minutes)and I think it will be good to have weekly interaction with kids her own age. She wants to go, she always sees me doing my homework for college or going to class and she now copies me, she is too cute sitting at the table doing her "homework".

Okay, everything about Jordan is too cute (in my opinion:), I love the way she says swimming suit, she always calls it a "swimming soup" no matter how many times I try to tell her how to say it!!! I also think that it is cute that she has planned her own birthday, she tells everyone when her birthday is (Oct. 9th) and that she is having 2 parties (she's wishful), she wants an ice cream cake and some balloons!!! Knows her mind doesn't she!!!

I am attaching some pictures, one is of Jordan "watering" the baby!!! My mom taught Jordan a little too well about gardening, she thinks if she waters little things they will get big!!! LOL :) Have a good week everyone!!!!

Megan and Jordan
