New school year. Many changes.
Abi's started kindergarten. Of course she loves it. There's even a pair of twin boys (look identical; dressed identical and all too, with nearly identical names...) in her class.
I start teaching this evening.
Same old for Robin at work.
Babies are where the big changes are. (Yeah, kiddo in school not a big deal around here. No tears. Just fun and the need to wake early in the morning - that's the hardest.)
Lucy still loves books, but she doesn't eat them anymore. Fewf. She carries them around. She flips through them, "reading". She won't sit long for a story, but we're moving towards that.
Claire is my girly-girl. Not what I would have expected for my "bear" (who bites; you've been warned). She's all about the shoes. And the purses. And the hats (especially the pirate hat, accompanied by a hearty "Arrrrrr!"). And the bracelets.
And the baby doll. She's adopted Abi's first Cabbage Patch Kid baby, which of course Abi never had any interest in because she had no transitional objects. Lucy is the same as Abi in that regard. Abi loves her dolls now, but she remains fickle. She cycles through favourites.
Claire is also my kissy-face. She gives the best kisses.
Lucy is Abi's baby - and not just because Abi says so. Lucy asks for Abi, chooses Abi to play with, etc.
November additions:
Bedroom is coming around. But still unfinished.
University term in its last month.
Abi's loving school still, but I'm finding the morning schedule rushed and poor for babies. It throws off nap possibilities, forces babies to wake earlier than they might otherwise, and it's only going to get worse in winter as bundling will take 3x as long.
Halloween was fun. Kiddos went out with my niece and nephew. I stayed home alone to give out candy - while knitting a sleeve at the door.
Let me dig up a couple of pictures to make your visit worthwhile.
Or better yet, how about this adorable video.
