Spoon Follow-up

This morning while you were watching Phineas & Ferb on Mom's phone and eating your cereal, Daddy asked if you wanted to be "a fireside girl"- kind of like a Girl Scout.

You replied: "No...I want to be a spoon."

Sounds like you are determined. Dream big, Maev!

1st Day of School- Three's Class

Hey Maevy-
Starting today, you are officially no longer a toddler. Even though you've been 3 for awhile now, today was your first day in the Three's class. Mom and Dad made a big deal out of it- singing/dancing to a song this morning- "Who's a big girl? In the Three's Class...Who's a big girl? In the Three's Class... Who's a big girl? In the Three's Class?..." You get the point. (Mom isn't very creative.) You still liked the song. And, we took the required 1st Day of School Photo- (still in the red building, but in the basement).

Your teachers are Ms. Alex and Ms. Jessie. Mom and Dad are super excited that Ms. Alex moved up with you (again). You guys are best buds, our favorite babysitter and has been your teacher since you were in T-3. You've been with most of these classmates for over a year now, having started T-4 with them last August.

Extra bonus- your new classroom shares a door/open area with the nursery. So you'll hopefully get to see Carter several times throughout the day. Plus it will make pick-up a lot easier (no more carrying heavy car seats up/down stairs!)

Last year's school year was spent potty-training, learning your alphabet, numbers, some Spanish, and much more. I'm excited to see what this year will bring...(more reading, letter sounds, writing skills!)

Already on your first day- you had to decide what you want to be when you grow up...You said a "spoon". Interesting...also why the mean face?

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Modern Day- Pretend Play

Hey Maevy-

Before heading out the door this morning for school, you grabbed a book that you, Daddy (and Carter) had just read- A Mother for Choco. Unprompted, here's our conversation:

You: "I'm pretending this is an iPad."
(I quickly looked back and saw you swiping away.)
Me: "What are you doing? Playing a game?"
You: "No, I'm looking at pictures."
Me: "Cool"

M (and Pop) are totally to blame for this one. We don't even own an iPad, but M does. You love looking at pictures on it and playing games that M downloaded for you.

I'm sure Daddy and I are going to have many of these moments; moments where we realize how technology will play a major role in your life and at such an early age. I think looking back on this post when you are in high school will be mind-blowing. In 2012, iPads are one of the coolest things out there. I wonder what your children will pretend their books are...instead of books.

Love you,

Mom
