She's a Swan!

Today is Neko's first day back at school. She's still at the same parent co-op preschool and loves it. At age one she began her journey there as a Cat. Last year she was a Ladybug. And now at age three, she has graduated to the Swan's classroom. "I'm in the big kid class now."

Ever May: 7 Months

Today was also Ever's first trip to the zoo. She enjoys the train and carousel just like her big sis.

Neko Fashion

One of Neko's favorite things to do is pick her outfits. We gave up trying to dress her a while ago. Now she changes her clothes many times a day and these ensembles usually consist of multiple layerings. We counted SEVEN tank tops not too long ago!


On this day it was 95 degrees outside.

Her new favorite thing is wearing mama's dresses.

Here she is wearing her apron and the infamous Dorothy costume (Her Halloween costume when she was two). The hole in the back of this dress gets larger by the day. We feel the highlight of this ensemble is her hair accessory...the yellow ring from Ever's stackable rings.

Dancing

We call this Modern Day Flapper Bag Lady.

Theatre

Neko proudly attended her first play today. It was a production of Amazing Grace shown in a little theatre here in Atlanta and based on the book by Mary Hoffman. Neko's face was lit up the entire time. She absolutely loved it. And much to my surprise she remained fairly still and attentive the entire hour. Now she says she wants to act in a play too! Ever May was a wonder baby and gave not a peep as she was nestled in her Ergo.

Mommy and Ever May: Another Rendering by Neko

Neko created another masterpiece with her Wiki Stix yesterday. She says the figure on the left is Mommy. The colorful blob/sticky pile on the right is Ever May.

Sleep, Wonderful Sleep.

After cosleeping with Mama Neek for six and a half months Ever May is now sleeping soundly in her very own crib and sharing a room with her big sister. Hopefully this is the end of her 6 month stretch of all night nursing sessions and sleep deprivation. Just as with Neko, once Ever got out of Mama's bed everyone slept way longer and more soundly. Night one: 7 hours without a peep. Night two: 8 hours. Night three: Please let it be 9! Good job sweetie pie. Sorry we didn't do this sooner.

Big Love
