Preschool

Amerie started her Preschool class this Monday. And oh, did I ever feel that this was maybe too early for my Ames to be away from me. Why is it that every time one of the girls start school, it is always hard to see them leave your side, when most of the time you are thinking you just can’t wait for them to be in school. It’s a vicious cycle of motherhood, kinda like childbirth…Well she went and of course I felt guilty when I left, but then when I went back to get her, I had the biggest greeting and smile from my little Ames, that I knew she had so much fun! photo4

And when she comes home with the coolest hat a preschooler would ever want-I am sold! What a fun year she is going to have!!!!

Ellie is loving her soccer team, her practices, her pink soccer socks, and cleats and especially her Twinkle toe uniform!

Ellie had a smile on her face the whole entire time…and of course so did I, a BIG one! Oh, how I look at her and see glimpses of my childhood: crazy hair in a ponytail, flushed cheeks and a uniform on!

Ellie played against one of her friends from church, and so she had her first experience of trying to play soccer and focus on not chatting with her buddy! Too Cute!

I think these girls both have the best coaches in A.Y.S.O!!!!

Yeah for team Dad!

Our second girlie, come with so much spunk and pizzazz. With a love for undies and sweets! A little sidekick to her big sister, Amerie has shown us another side of parenting. She knows how to push our buttons…and get another song or another book, or stall at bedtime. She loves her little babies, piggies, and now shamu! When we are done eating breakfast, she asks for a snack.

Amerie Linda you are One Of A Kind!

Happy Birthday!
