Our first week of school turned out pretty good. Considering that "Tate the great" is now a first grader, Allie and me are preschoolers (I'm the teacher of course :) and starting next week Alex is a full time college student again. The only one who I was really worried about adjusting to all the business was Miah, who just kind of gets passed around. But I am relieved that she seems to be the one accepting the scheduling changes the best.
This was the first day of school and they both did so well. I am really enjoying being a preschool teacher and am trying to do some adjusting myself. I guess I'm going to have to accept that some days my house just will not get cleaned. Oh well, it's all been for the best and me working (and our new car, a Nissan Altima) has been a huge stress reliever for Alex and I as he prepares for his bachelors program and then law school.
I just wanted to add a little update about my adorable little redhead. Miah is growing up so fast and is so smart. She has already perfected the temper tantrum (at 16 months) no thanks to a couple other kids I know ;) but she is so happy and sweet despite that. She loves to give kisses right on the lips and you can't help but melt when she flashes that toothy, dimpled smile. She's also been talking more and more each day.
I would try to list what she says, but it would take me too long since she says something new everyday, but some of the really cute one's are "wa wa" for water, "Emma" her cousin, "Mace" Macey her other cousin, "A-yee" Allie, "Ate" Tate, "poo poo" no explanation needed, "Pee-Pa-Poo" Peek-a-boo, "Mo" No. "Na" snack.
Just my adorable girls. Allie is so eclectic with her wardrobe. I just love it. And thanks to Allie's love of the camera, Miah is finally starting to get the concept of smiling for pictures instead of after. Yay! I love that gorgeous smile!
