Back to School

I cannot believe summer is gone, and school is back in! We had such a great, fun summer. But Mia has been counting the days to start school again. She loves it. This is her third, and final, year of preschool. She is excited to be a Blue Bear (4 yr old class) with Ms. Kelli and Ms. Susie. However, her new countdown will now focus on turning 5 and going to "real school" (as she refers to kindergarten) next year.

Mia also had her first soccer practice Friday night - I think getting her new uniform was the most exciting part for her. She wore it home from practice and out to dinner that night. I cannot wait to see her first game next weekend.



Mia and Lily - so cute!! Lily is adjusting to not having sissy around during the day. Mom loves having just one little one at home - I seem to get a lot more done in a lot less time. Friday was Mia's first full day, and after being out for a few hours running errands with Lily we drove past Mia's school on our way home for lunch, Lily pointed out the window and said, "Sissy." She knew right where Mia was. I couldn't believe she recognized and remembered the building. At home - she kept looking for Mia saying, "Sissy, where are you?" or "C'mon sissy, lets go." I am amazed everyday just how much she loves and looks to her sister (even when Mia isn't always so nice to her). I just hope they have a friendship like I am lucky enough to have with my sister!!

Up next for Lily - she and mom start Kindermusik on Monday!
