First day of school:
Carter is in grade 3 this year and loves his teacher. He had a few weeks of rough recesses until finding a few kids that play Mine Craft and other similar activities to hang out with, but seems to be doing better.
Henri's loving afternoon kindergarten, esp since his least favorite thing about preschool is gone-naps!
Valerie loves school and is sad on the days she doesn't go and insists on bringing her backpack to take Henri to school or to pickup the boys on days when she doesn't go to school. Her teacher did an assessment and said her language is fine (our 2 year Dr. appt said she could use some work and recommended speech therapy, but we never followed through with the move) and couldn't believe that she knows all her letters (upper and lower), numbers and colors.
I'm LOVING that V's school is a 10minute, 4 block walk up the street and the boys are right next door. Carter's started walking to and from school by himself, I have to drop off Henri and we're working on getting the teacher comfortable with Carter picking up Henri and me going outside waving to the teacher so she knows I'm home. Really excited when winter comes and I can wave from the window with my hot cocoa!
I went to a scrapbook retreat in NY last weekend, a Canadian coming from further north picked me up and we drove together for a weekend of meeting up with fellow paper (and fabric) crafters, eating, sleeping, being silly... just ladies :) Next month I'm trying one in Ohio, but through an online message board where I met scrapbook friends in WA and BC when we were on the west coast.
Valerie's vocabulary is coming along... leave you with 2 videos...
