Charlotte are you okay???!! Can you hear me???! (ignore the giggles) Someone call 911!

I can't believe it's already November. The countdown for our Florida trip is on. Charlotte, who remembers so much more, is VERY excited about it. Connor will be...when we get there. Lots of things to do before we leave yet. Christmas celebrations with everyone who we are leaving behind are coming up soon.
School is going great. Charlotte has finished a whole workbook with the Sonlight curriculum we are using so it really feels good to start a new one. The workbooks are all about "Developing the Early Learner" and include various activities working on her motor, visual, auditory and thinking skills. Things that will help her be a successful reader. She loves doing the workbooks but sometimes tires of the colouring. Sometimes, we'll just circle the right answer instead!
We have even begun some physical education now...learning to skate. We are trying to get out twice a week and after being out only a few times so far, I can see my kids will be skating much better than I ever did! It's amazing how fast Charlotte is picking it up. She definately has a natural balance and ability...like her father.
Connor's coming along but mostly enjoys the chair rides, holding his hockey stick (don't even try to take it away from him), and wearing his hockey helmet. He now totes his "new" (actually one of Stu's old broken sticks that he cut down for him) hockey stick around everywhere and is constantly slapping things around with it. A no-hockey sticks in the house rule is definately coming into play tommorow.
Also a note on Connor's potty training. It has been going great! He's really picked it up quickly...our daycare lady was amazed. He has been getting a little lazy lately, but that could be more my fault, forgetting to remind him. When he's distracted, he needs the reminder. Either that, or he just goes when Charlotte does. What great siblings...coordinating potty times.
I guess that's the update for now. gotta go review my CPR (I have the course tonight), I'm practising on my poor victim Charlotte, who thinks it's quite hilarious!
