Back to Preschool

It’s that time of year…back to school.  Emilia has grown so much in just a couple of months.
 

We met her new teachers at Open House and she was excited to see her new room. Each classroom has a name. She is a Kangaroo this year. She was happy to hear her teacher say that each child gets to bring their class pet, Joey (a stuffed animal) home for a weekend.




She came home with  “The Kissing Hand”.  I look forward to seeing how much her little hand will grow this year.



The biggest change this Summer was that she became a Big Sister. I snapped a few pics of her and Jude this morning.  I love to see them together. She is so sweet with him. I think he looks up to her already. He is very curious about everything she does. His eyes are so big when he watches her. She is a great example to look up to. I’m going to squeeze him a little tighter tonight because he will be off to school before I know it, as well!

Outdoor Music is FUN

Emilia has been getting her groove on lately. She was so excited to go to our neighborhood park for a concert last week. We met our friends with lawn chairs and picnic blankets in hand. We dined al fresco, and enjoyed talking and listening to music while the kids ran around, danced, and climbed trees. Emilia had so much fun. When it was dark and way past her bedtime, we were packing up and all she wanted to do was stay and dance. Love her lil’ heart.



We headed downtown for Thursday Night Live, this evening. We used to go all the time before we had any kiddo’s. It is such a fun way to unwind with great local music, food, and drinks. This time we joined Ms. Sarah for a family friendly musical play time. She used to be Emilia’s music teacher at Gymboree. She had missed her and enjoyed every minute of her imaginative play.

We’ve been staying home a lot more this Summer, with the birth of Jude. It was great to get out and enjoy some things we love, like music!
