What a difference a year makes!

First day of school

It's so cliché but I have to say . . . Where has the time gone?

This literally seems like a few days ago . . .

And now, they are big Kindergartners! They were so excited on the first day of school . . .

The first two weeks have been really good. Their teacher told me they are "super sweet" and she loves having them in her class (what a relief!). Waking up early has been the biggest adjustment. Three days in James exclaimed, "NOT AGAIN!!!!" when I woke him up. But they really, really love it. They have asked if they can spend the night there and every weekend can't wait to go back on Monday.

And then there's this one . . .

She spends a lot of her time these days doing this . . .

She can feed herself now. That was a really big development. She also loves picking things up and dropping them - so fun!! She is in a lot less pain with her hand and the bandage is scheduled to come off and pin out on the 12th. From the looks of it when we have been changing the bandage, this seems really hard to believe but here's to hoping!!
