Funny thing is Olive repeatedly got the same exact feedback from swim instructors at Weber - she needs to listen! Something about when she gets in the water, she cannot listen to instruction. She's just in her own little swimmy world. Good thing she's such a good swimmer!

School work, week 2

Found out today that a spot in the Spanish immersion classroom opened up, so Olive will be switching classes tomorrow. Tonight she asked me what her new teacher's name is, and I told her it's Mrs. Sweeney. She giggled, and I said, "What's so funny?" She said, kinda sheepishly, "It sounds like weenie."

I blame Chris.

School work, week 1

We made it through the first, rather heart-wrenching, week! To celebrate? Treat day Friday, prizes and a note from Mom waiting on their pillows when they got home, and a sundae bar play date with new pals. They've got it good!

Lunch date!

Not bad for her first day!

First day of 1st grade! Her school is Sandpiper Elementary here in Scottsdale, and her teacher's name is Mrs. Speight. Last night she had a few tears, and needed one extra squeeze before we left her today, but seemed good to go when we left. I can't believe how long she and Lucy will be gone everyday! Proud of my smart, beautiful, kind little girly.

She made this block wall, and was pretty proud of it.
