Middle School and Milestones



























It has been another busy week. Buttercup started her first middle school year at her new school. She is really enjoying school and told me she felt very grown up because of her new uniform and having to follow her schedule as she switches classes. She is excited about her PE uniform and changing in the locker room and she is taking Spanish. She said it feels like high school. God is good! Saint Ann's in Bartlett has been a wonderful transition. She does miss her friends in CA and OH! She has made many new friends. She tried out for volleyball over the summer and made the sixth grade A team at Saint Ann's. They have three teams. One sixth grade and two fifth and sixth grade combo teams. Buttercup also started dance at her new studio this week. We are very proud of our middle schooler!

Snapdragon is working on the transition from her crib to her toddler bed. She really loves the security of the crib. We discovered this is we were putting it back together at 10:00 last night when she cried because she didn't want to sleep in her big girl bed. She now naps in the toddler bed and sleeps in the crib at night. She likes having two beds in her room. Snapdragon also started her first dance class tonight. She was excited all week and wore her leotard around the house, but of course, as soon as she went into the studio she burst into tears. I had to stay in the class with her for a little while, but I was able to leave after awhile. She really enjoyed it and focused very well.

A week of new beginnings and milestones. Things are off to a good start!
