This Year's Firsts

In September, A1 started first grade.  Here's the first day of school.  She is in a first-second split class, and she is absolutely thriving!  She loves her teacher and gets to sit next to her best friend.
Yes, she does have a black eye in this picture.  About a week before school started, A1 and A2 were playing on the swing set.  They decided they wanted to play catch down the slide (something I have done quite often with them using bouncy balls, stuffed animals, etc.), but they didn't have a ball outside.  Rather than go into the house to find something, they decided to use our recycling box because it was already outside.  A2 threw the box down the slide and A1 caught it - with her eye!  She's okay, but it made for one impressive bruise.  I wish that I had thought to get a picture when it first happened (does that make me a bad mother?).  Needless to say, that was the first and LAST time they will be playing catch with the recycling box.

I also started home preschool with A2 in September.  I do my best to keep him entertained, but he wants to go to school too.  Everyday he asks if he can go to class with A1.  Maybe we'll have to start him into some kind of preschool in January.

L2 is now old enough to start eating solid foods.  We started, as always, with rice cereal.  His reaction:
We'll keep working on it.  Heehee!
