Edith Starts Preschool

Edith started school last week and absolutely loves it. Even on her first day, she barely looked my way when I dropped her off and said goodbye, and she didn't much care to leave when I picked her up.

She has made a friend already (play date information exchanged), and playing in the giant sandbox outside seems to be her favorite activity.

Meanwhile, Atticus is adjusting to all of his new one-on-one time. Books! Stores! All of Mommy's attention! It's a whole new world for everyone.

Swimming Fun

Forget seeing the sites. When we visited Milwaukee and Chicago last month, one of the big highlights was the hotel pool.

Edith on this vacation "learned to swim" -- with the giant caveat that she needs a life jacket. Real swim lessons will be coming up soon for her, I hope. Atticus enjoyed splashing around. And Mama enjoyed the free time she was afforded when Daddy took the kids to the pool, but I even joined them once. Fun was had by all.
