Friday!

We made it to Friday!!!  It has been such a busy and emotional week with Preston starting Kindergarten, Calleigh with her new sitter, and getting to see the peanut of a new baby.  Preston has done great this week.  He is totally exhausted and was asleep by 7:30 last night.  He did get a little note on his behavior sheet yesterday for talking when he was supposed to be listening.  When I asked him about it he said they were in the hallway and he was talking and they are supposed to be quiet.  I asked who he was talking to and he said himself!  Oh my child and his creativity - I bet he was having a great conversation with himself or making his car sounds.  Yesterday I tried letting go a little more and just dropped him off in the morning rather than parking and walking him to class.  He was excited to walk by himself to his classroom.  I teared up more yesterday morning than I did on Monday because he looked so grown up with his back pack and lunch bag walking into the building.  I am so proud of him.  The only problem with this drop off idea is that I can't watch him as he walks!  I had cars ready to hit me to get me to move because I was too busy turned around trying to watch him!  Not a good idea when your vehicle is moving!
Tomorrow Calleigh has her very first dance class.  We bought her new tights and ballet shoes.  My sister in law loaned us her leotard and I found a couple more at a consignment sale last night for a couple of dollars (I love consignment sales and thrift stores but that is a whole other topic!).  She is very excited but I have to call her shoes dance shoes, not ballet shoes!!!  She has had a total blast this week with her sitter.  She has learned the letter A and it's sound and is tracing so much better too!  I think her favorite thing is that her sitter bought her a pair of flip flops like her.  She is in heaven!  I get texts of pictures of her in different dresses she plays in. Today was a Southern Belle dress.  Too precious.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
