almost a kindergartner...

Sebastian started school on Monday, but the kindergarten classes don't start until Thursday so I've had a few extra days this week with just Liesl. We went to the Children's Museum yesterday and ran around finding animal prints for a scavenger hunt, and then mostly played outside.

We got to meet her new teacher, Mrs. LaTocha, on Wednesday for a brief introduction and assessment. Liesl thought she was very nice and was happy to see her classroom before the first day. She is feeling nervous and anxious, poor baby - she's been extra emotional and easily upset, a little clingy and baby-ish, and has been super tired. She slept until 8 yesterday and 7:15 today - late wake-up times nearly unheard of in this household.

I know she's going to be fine - great even - and will make lots of friends and love going to school. We just need to get over these nervous jitters. In the meantime, we have read lots of books and snuggled together, and enjoyed being just us.
