Eight More Weeks and One Day Off

Today:  Day off!
After this weekend:  Only eight weeks left of the school year

Got Riley all signed up for First Grade.  Can hardly believe she's that big already!!!  She is blowing us away with her kindness, big heart, smarts and learning curves.  Her reading is beyond amazing and she is changing into more of a grade schooler than a preschooler.  Just so much more mature than a few months ago.  Still spunky and fun but more serious than Julia.

Julia is cute as a button.  Has been showing her dimples a lot lately with big smiles and hearty laughs.  She is joyful and spunky.  She has been in her new preschool class for a few weeks and it has been a big adjustment.  There is a girl who keep pinching her and biting.  Ugh!!!  Thinking this may be the same girl that clashed with her when she was in Miss Hayley's class last year.  Not good.  Yesterday Julia was biting her after being pinched and then the girl bit Julia in the stomach and left both her upper teeth and lower teeth marks forming a full circle.  Her belly is bruised today.  Will definitely be talking to the school's owner about it on Monday to figure out what can be done.  Julia is not perfect in this - she has also bit the girl as well.  She has been crying really hard when I drop her off and it has made it so hard to leave her knowing that she is so unhappy.  Trying to figure out what to do...

The girls and I had a fun day at home today!  They got out the lids to some clear bins, took them to the top of the stairs and sent their animals sledding down the stairs over and over today.  Loved watching them and listening to their laughter.  So contagious!!  They had a ball with it.

Then we went to see baby Josh and baby Jake at my friend Katy's house.  Spent the afternoon with her and her boys.  The girls were in heaven.  Julia would hold Jake's hand (9 week old baby) and pat his back.  The girls followed Josh around in circles - he is 16 months old.  Such a great friend and so fun to watch the kids interacting.

Tonight I put Julia to bed and she kept singing "What the world needs now is love, sweet love..." - practicing for her Spring Sing that is coming up sometime soon.  So cute to listen to her.
