No More A/C!

This is it! This is the best time of year on Long Island. No more A/C, just beautiful, humidity free, weather in the upper 70s. And with this weather comes......THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

The teacher, Miss Eileen, is very nice, just not warm and fuzzy the way I like it. But I can’t always have my way (or so I’m told) so this will be good for Kaitlyn. When we walked in for orientation, Kaitlyn dug right into the toys and the teacher commented “well, I can see she isn’t shy.” Oh, Miss E has no idea! They talked about separation anxiety and if any child gets upset, they would help them write a letter explaining why they were upset. I know I’ll never got one of those! Then she had her 1st day of dance class - She loved it! She learned how to do a plie and she plied all night in my kitchen until John tripped on her and said, ‘ok, let’s call it a night for pleis.'

Then yesterday for her first day "alone" at school. Papa dropped her off and again she went right to the toys. He said to her “I have to leave now.” She said, “ok, see ya.” He got a little sad! Then he got home, realized Skye only had one shoe and had to go back. The custodian found it for him. When he picked Kaitlyn up, he got a letter! Evidently, Miss K was a little sad. She wrote Papa a note “I miss you very much and I’m very sad you are not here please come back soon.” When she called me, she said “I had the worse day ever at preschool.” But then she continued with “we had graham crackers and apple juice and it was really fun in the big circle.” So I think she will be fine……………..

Miss Skylar is doing well. She is fully recovered from her last "episode" and has been doing better sleeping - better means we only get up once to get her a bottle and here her cry 2-3 times each night. Boy were we spoiled with our first one! She continues to make us laugh by always playing with anything she shouldn't, eating everything she can, and torturing our pets who are consistently patient with her.
