1st Day of 2nd Grade

Maevy-

You are super excited about 2nd grade. You got the teacher you wanted - Ms. Kessler - the only teacher you knew because a. - the other 2 teachers left and b. Macy Kate is her daughter and in your grade. :)

But also - Lyla and Daphne are in your class - which we're also excited about.

You put yourself to bed early last night - 8p and didn't even read. I think you were ready. :)

Second grade was one of my favorite growing up - I hope it's your too.

Side by Side - You're missing a few teeth!

Selfie the Musical

 We had a fun date night - seeing Selfie the Musical at the The Theater Bug. It was little over your head, but we had a decent discussion about it afterwards. (So not looking forward to actually addressing social media with you in the coming years.)

In the meantime, I'll just have fun seeing live theater with you. :)

2 Front Teeth

After weeks of two very wiggly 2 front teeth - they finally fell out -

The first one on the 1st day of Girlscout camp and you didn't even know you lost it until your friend Maeve asked "Where's your tooth?" I'm convinced you ate it or it fell into the brownies you all made that day. :)

The 2nd one fell out the 3rd/4th day of camp the same week. That one you kept.

You left a pretty cute note for the tooth fairy - stating that you had lost a tooth, but couldn't find it.

Your new smile - includes you sticking your tongue through your gap.
You now speak with a slight lisp, especially when saying s's.
You're working on a new skill - whistling. :)

Reading to baby sister

You're the best big sister around - 

You were so excited that her name was June - that's the name you wanted! You're already reading to her and you figured out mathematically how she fit perfectly in to our family of 3 kids. 

Born in March, April, and May

4,5,6 - June has 4 letters, Maevy-5, Carter - 6

7,8,9

March 4: 3+4 = 7 - Maevy

April 26: 2+6 = 8 - Carter

May 31: 5+3+1= 9 - June

Love you bigs!
