the love in the air

Aubrey had her first taste of pre-school yesterday when we had to drop her in for a day with Gerard. SHe didn't cry, and the director said she did well. Wish we could afford to finally register her for good.

Tonight, though, as I was getting out of the shower, Gerard said his good night to me. When he was going down the stairs, he turned his back to the stairs at the top to lock the safety gate "for Aubrey." I got a little nervous as I always do whenever he turns his back to the stairs. I told him to turn around and not look away from the stairs, but he insisted on locking the gate so Aubrey doesn't go down. Perhaps, he just didn't want her to follow him to grandma's room, or maybe he just didn't want her to wake up and find the gate open and fall down the stairs. Either way, he was looking out for her. He knows we always lock the gate for Aubrey.

Love these kids so much.

Conversations with the kids

Gerard has been wondering and asking about his other grandpa lately. He's aware that he is passed, but he asked me yesterday where is Grandpa Romy. I told him he's in heaven, although when he asked his papa the same question, papa told him he's in space. Gerard asked me then, where is heaven and is it nearby. Ummm... I told him I really didn't know where it was.

He is an interesting person to have a conversation with. He's only 3!
