I'm going to get ready for bed myself!

Tonight at bedtime Aurora announced that for the "first time ever" she was going to get herself ready for bed. She went in her room and put on her pajamas (with a short intervention due to a backwards shirt); she brushed her teeth and washed her face; and then she read herself a story (one she has memorized). We were not allowed in her room, but I got a short video peeking through the door of her reciting one of her favorites, "We're going on a bear hunt."

Preschool!!

It's been a busy year and this little girl is growing like a weed. We were very excited to learn a few weeks ago that we had made it off the wait list and into preschool. Wednesday (10/7) was our first day. This begins a new adventure for all of us as it's a parent participation school. One day a week one of us joins the class to help out for the 2 1/2 hour session.

Aurora LOVES going to school!

The teacher's update for our first week said, "I want to again WELCOME Aurora, and her parents to the class.  Aurora fit in very well, and you would never know that she has not been with us since the beginning!"  We couldn't agree more.
