Looking Toward Preschool

We got official word last week that Edith got a spot in the preschool we were aiming for. I wasn't terribly nervous. Current students got priority, but I arrived early on sign-up day to make sure she would be first on the list if there were any openings. Of course, some of those preschoolers will be moving on to kindergarten, so I was 99.9 percent sure she would get in.

Still, receiving that letter made the upcoming school year seem more imminent -- and more real. My kiddo is going to school! Four days a week! Half days, but still. Next comes grade school, then high school, and then pretty soon she'll be moving out of the house.

I know she will love school, and I think Atticus will love his alone time. Edith was the center of attention for the first 2 years and 4 months of her life. Atticus will be 2 years and 5 months when his big sister goes to school and he finally becomes the center for a big chunk of time most weekdays. Ahh, how the tides have turned, I'm sure he'll be thinking!

When Edith pulls on this pink coat, Atticus insists on wearing the matching green one. Even if I wanted to say no, how could I resist such cuteness?

Funny Stuff My Kids Say, Part 1

Edith, during a pop-up snowstorm  last week: "The clouds are pooping."
I was counting Edith's jumps on our mini trampoline yesterday, and I got into the 90s. "Is that English?" she asked.

Also, I've been considering for some time making this blog once per week -- after all, paying jobs take priority, right? Accidentally skipping Friday's post seems like the perfect time to do so. From now on, posts will be published on Tuesdays, with a mixture of text and photos. Enjoy!
