First cruise

 I, Jordan Anne, am taking over this blog !  I'm 9 and I'm going to talk about my trips, birthdays and important events. First, I'm going to talk about my first ...CRUISE!

*First Day*

I'm really nervous about getting on the boat. What if I get lost on the boat? Mom says not to worry and enjoy but I would  enjoy it better if my Uncle Johnny was  coming with us. We got on the  boat and it was amazing!  There was a stage and couches. We went to our room. My family got  pizza for lunch. It is open 24 hours. We had  a safety program called a muster. It was so hot. Jacob and I wanted to see the boat leave. We did. We had the rest of the time to explore. We made our way up to the golf corse then I saw Uncle Johnny!  I was  super surprised. We spent the  rest of the afternoon with them.The dinning room was super  cold.  Lucky the rest of the boat was warm. I had a great  day !                                                                                                                  

First Day Part 2

Yesterday was Jordan's first day in her permanent class.  She had Math, Music and Recess! 

The first of many school firsts.  I pray that she has a wonderful year with supportive teachers and staff that encourage her love of learning.

Pre-Kindergarten Day

She wouldn't let me take a pic at the school.  Little does she know I'm going to get her after school.  LOL

More Funnies from Jordan

Jordan,

You inspire your brother, quite a bit!

Jacob: (standing at the bottom of the stairs looking up at Jordan)
Jordan: (looking down at Jacob)
Jordan: Come on Jacob. You can do it. Go go go!

-----------------------

Jordan: The tiger is downstairs. Come on, Mommy. You tell the tiger to go home (stamps foot at go home).
Jordan: (opening the door to the garage)
Jordan: I have to tell him mommy (while opening the door).
Jordan: fussing with much animation and finger shaking
Jordan: Bad tiger! I told you blah blah blah. You go home. Bad Tiger
Jordan:(closing door)
Jordan: Mommy, tiger go home now.

Jordan, Mommy loves you to pieces and loves reading to you. I can't wait until you read this so you can tell me what was on your mind and why you are so enthralled with tigers. ;-)

Love you, Mommy

Things Jordan says

I never knew how funny kids could be until I had one of my own.

Here are a few recent comments.

My mom spent a month with us after Jacob was born. One night, after she had been "put to bed (I use that term loosely) my Mom checked on Jordan. My Mom tells Jordan to go to sleep and Jordan says "Nooooo, its dark in here". We have no idea where she heard this or how she picked it up but it was funny. So funny that my Mom started to laugh. Then Jordan starting laughing. Then I started laughing. Now Jordan says this occasionally when you try to put her to sleep.

------------------------------------------

I'm trying to minimize my use of the words NO and STOP. Somehow we've gotten into the habit of saying "not nice" when Jordan is doing something we'd rather she not do. "We don't hit people Jordan. Not Nice." Anytime she sees Mommy and Daddy hugging, she starts waving her hands in the air and saying "Not nice! Not Nice!". Hilarious!
