First Day of School

Amelie's first day of 2nd grade was Tuesday, so she's got the first week of school in the books. She's moved up to Unit B (the 2nd/3rd grade classroom) and her teacher is Ms. Malloy (with Mr. Gramke for math). They've got a whole economy going with "B Bucks" and lots of other exciting stuff. All good news so far. She takes the bus both to and from school, and two of her friends are on it as well.


James is in the pre-K room at Ready, Set Learn with Ms. Jen and is enjoying it.



And Leah has started daycare. She's the littlest in the baby room. Right now, it's under-twos, but they're going to do a one-year-old class starting at the end of the month and the (slightly) bigger kids will move out and some 7-month-old twins will move in, but I guess that still means she'll be the youngest. She's doing really well, though I guess that at 5 months she's really too little for stranger anxiety yet. They're using our cloth diapers (which is a big money-saving plus) and she's taking between 6-9 ounces of breastmilk over 2-3 small bottles each day without a fuss, which is also a big plus. The big minus is that she was sleeping through the night, and she's been taking 2 long naps at daycare and waking up at night. Here are some pictures of her at 5 months old wearing her purple polka-dot dress:






She's got a snotty cold of course - they start daycare and then immediately get sick for the first time!
