Big stuff

“Time keeps on slipping into the future…” – Steve Miller Band

Our “babies” are big kids – off to first grade and pre-K at new schools (Fishing Creek Elementary and the Children’s School of New Cumberland, respectively). They both adapted beautifully as if the transitions were nothing out of the ordinary. And that helped Mommy and Daddy adjust to them reaching such grown-up milestones, too….

So far, Caitlyn is most chatty about art and music class and loves that she can buy her lunch (read: buy chocolate milk) at school. Nathan is bringing home lots of interesting art projects, mastering how to write his name, and constantly talking up the monkey bars and bicycles at his new school.

We also moved Nathan into his “big-boy” bedroom across the hall from Caitlyn’s room. He now has a full-size bed – which fits him much better than his old toddler bed – new bedding, and a purple (and a red and a blue) stripe on his walls. And he’s sleeping like a champ in there, no doubt thanks in part to his busy school days and beloved T-ball practices.
