So many firsts........

I'm happy to report we've all been doing well and had a lovely start to the fall and the new school year. It's also been a window for many different firsst for both kids. Here's what's happened so far:

Lily has started the school year without tears. This is huge as the past 2 years we dealt with tears the first 6-8 weeks.

She took a dance class and actually liked it.

She went with a friend and her mother to an outing.

She took off her training wheels by herself and is flying around like a pro.
(I should note we could have done this a long time ago. We just never seemed to get around to it).





Andrew decided to not be outdone by his sister. So far he's

Took his first gymanastic's class with me. He did a wonderful job, participated the whole time and followed the teacher's directions

Had his first solo playdate (i.e. without Lily)

Started using the bathroom with a lot of success. By the way, we had tried the potty training a few weeks ago and he expressed significant fear of falling in. Then he announced he was ready.....and he's been ready.
