Picture Day!

This is one of many AWESOME pictures we has taken this morning! To be honest, I was dreading family picture day based on our previous family photo day which was super chaotic and just not fun and we didn't get many great shots to choose from. Today was a wonderful surprise. Oliver was smiley and fun and silly! I was so proud of him! And, relieved, too. Ivy had ants in her pants and had a tough time sitting still and posing! So happy we got some fun pictures! It made my day that everything went so well!

Full-time at Apple Tree

This summer Oliver went to school on MWF and stayed home on T/Th.  In mid-June, Ivy did the same but part-time:  MWF part-time - - then, she went to MWF full-time.  THEN, this past Monday, they started going everyday, full-time!  I knew Oliver would be fine, he's "been-there-done-that".  But, I wanted Ivy to get used to being a full-timer before my classes started - so, if I was needed at any time, I could be there easier than when classes start.  Today is Wednesday, day 3 of Everyday Full-Time!  Ivy is doing great.  She is a social kid - she is a FUNNY kid...and kinda goofy sometimes - I mean goofy-funny!  I love to watch her in her classroom when she doesn't know I'm there.  I do the same with Oliver.  I wish I could be a fly on the wall in their classrooms.  In the next couple of weeks, Oliver will be moving on to the "big kid" classroom where he will stay for two years!  Wow.  He will be the youngest kiddo there.  He loves his current classroom but I think this will be a good move for him!
