Summer raced by and we began a new school year today. Emma entered grade three this morning and as always was beyond thrilled to return to school. She is such a social animal and looks so forward to learning new things and meeting new people. I never really worry about her when it comes to school or other social settings. She found out this morning that her two best buddies are in her class again this year and any nerves disappeared instantly. After school she told us that she "had a huge smile on her face all day". She's already counting down the hours to tomorrow.
New desk, right in front of course.
Enjoying the traditional milk and cookies.
Walker will start kindergarten on Thursday and unlike his big sister he is less than enthused. He is our home body and would choose our house over any place in the world. We could be at Disneyland and he would still ask us everyday if we could go home. I think I feel just as anxious as he does to send him off every afternoon without me and his sisters who love him so much. At the same time I know he needs it to get out of his shell a little bit. He helped me make our cookies this afternoon while the little girls were sleeping.
Looking studly after his haircut this morning.
Always his favorite part
And speaking of sleeping, Lillian has entered that awkward phase where she needs to cut out her naps but most days just can't manage to do it. Nearly every other day she falls asleep in some obscure place or with her body contorted into some strange position. Her favorite thing to do lately is to climb into her"sleeping bag" (a pillowcase) and fall asleep on the floor.
Obviously not her toy.
Her "sleeping bag"
Our pretty baby has been fussier than any of the others but when she's up and in a good mood she does nothing but smile and coo. All three of the kids love to be around her when she's in that kind of mood and can't wait until she's giggling and playing.
