We have a preschooler!

 

So Rylie started preschool this week (well technically last week if you count her orientation day)! She did PERFECT! I can't believe how easy it went, for both of us! No tears, no fears, just "Goodbye, see ya Mom!" Her teacher praised her politeness and sweetness, and said she seemed to catch on to things really fast (classroom rules, raising of hands, etc.) She is currently going just 3 days a week, part time, but it's really is a nice break for me too! Lilly and I come home, she takes a nice nap (usually) and I work or read or catch up on a tv show, it's great! There have been a few tears when we go to pick Rylie up, however, it's just because the nap cots have been taken out and she thinks she has to nap, haha! Silly girl.  

Lilly is just a crawling little monster these days! She just wants to explore everywhere, and you can usually find that she's wandered down the hall and into the bathroom (still so thankful that we bought a one story these days!!) She is still having slight problems navigating the one step that goes down into the living room, she can go up but hasn't quite figured the down yet :( We've had a few minor falls, at least it's just one step and wood floor. She also threw her first tantrum the other day! I took a toy from her for one second, to buckle her into her car seat, and BAM! she flipped out!! We're going to have a super fun terrible two-ser on our hands!


And I have I mentioned how good our dogs our with these kids? Just check out Cyra below - as the pile got bigger and bigger and bigger, she just laid there so still and didn't seem to care one little bit!
