Millie's little school started up again today! I could tell she was excited because she actually let me get her dressed and take her picture without much fuss this morning. She even let me paint her toenails last night. I love having girls. :)
This morning, she walked right into her classroom and started playing...no crying or any hint of sadness that mommy was leaving her. What a difference a year makes. Then when I picked her up this afternoon, she wouldn't even get up to come see me. She wasn't ready to leave. I'm glad she likes school so much, but for the sake of my feelings, I wish she had faked it a bit. ;) Her teacher said she didn't nap today at school, which explains her bizarre behavior this afternoon. She was an emotional roller coaster and had to go to bed a little early tonight.
Her talking has absolutely floored us lately. Three examples all from today:
- Once I finally got her out of her classroom this afternoon, she sprinted to the front doors...actually running as fast as she can. Hilarious. Anyhoo, once she got to the doors, she turned around and yelled across the lobby "come on mommy!". That's her new catchphrase...she'll say "come on guys!" when she wants us to chase her or when she thinks we should hurry up.
- After driving home and getting her a snack, she asked for some more crackers. I told her no, she already had enough snacks in her bowl. Then she said "why not?". Just like that. That probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but she hasn't really questioned why before and certainly not in the right context.
- Later this evening after dinner, she pointed out a spider on the wall to JKK. She said "oh, a bug...it's a spider...let me get a shoe". JKK then asked me when she turned 14. ;)
Syddles isn't talking yet, but she has started laughing a little bit! I love that sound. We had a good day together while Millie was in school. We went shopping! I'm glad I'll get some one-on-one time with her on these school days. Such sweetness...
I love my girls.
