Monday

We had a great experience this morning...stopped in at Raina's new school to show everyone. Liam stood outside the little play area, watching kids a little older than him play and he talked through the fence at him and a bunch came over to babble back. He was enthralled.

Raina almost threw a fit when we told her we were just looking. She started to cry before we even went in because older kids were playing in the other play area and it just looked like too much fun.

We knocked on the door and Miss Becky showed us around. We met Miss Kayla who was getting her room ready for school to start. There were a lot of 4 year olds there with Miss Jordan. They asked if Raina wanted to stay for awhile and she said "YES!". So they said she could stay for an hour. We did our grocery shopping and came back and she was outside with the kids and very happy. She didn't want to go home; she thought she could stay with the kids and eat lunch. We finally convinced her to come home with us and now we are preparing mac and cheese for lunch.

They didn't eat a whole lot of oatmeal this morning, I think because I was ready when they got here and they would rather eat about 9. So we are doing a little bit early lunch.

Sooo I think school will be a great success.

One note...both their noses are running and I think the cranky factor is a bit elevated. And grandpa thinks he's getting it too. I shall try to stay strong~! Ha, Ha!!!

Liam had a great time with his little fork at lunch. I would help him spear watermelon or blueberry and he would just beam and then negotiate it to his mouth with no trouble!
