Red House

Lily's first day of school was on Tuesday. Unfortunately, she is still in the midst of adjusting to the new school, teacher, and classmates. She has cried each day we have dropped her off, and apparently also cries during naptime because as she tells us she wants Mommy and Daddy. We think that in a few more weeks, she will be better adjusted. Her new school is actually a little different than the old one. The total number of children is about 1/3 of her old school, and there are no infants, only age 2-5. She only has one teacher, Ms. Linda, and has 6 classmates. She is the youngest in the class, and we believe everyone else in the class is 3 but we haven't figured out the exact age difference. She had one day of water play which she seemed to enjoy and has already brought home several art projects which we will try to get a picture of in the coming weeks.

On Friday, Lily's double mattress (i.e. big girl bed) was delivered, however, they were unable to fit the boxspring, so she is still sleeping in the crib and just visiting her mattress during the day. ;) Lily also picked out some bedroom furniture this weekend which included a bed, dresser, bookshelf, and nightstand - well actually Lily played around with Grandpa Maurice, while Mom, Dad and Grandma Phyllis made the final selection. Once the furniture is delivered, Lily can officially move into her new bedroom, which will also hopefully be freshly painted by Dad this weekend. The rest of the weekend was spent doing lots of errands for the new house, and finally getting able to play with her water/sand table. We didn't take any pictures this week but we have plenty to fill you in with some from weeks past. Enjoy!
