School Update + Artwork

I try to take their pics together on Thursdays, since this is the day they both go to school.  Sometimes they cooperate.

This is what they look like after school.  Exhausted little drama queens.

Millie found one of our old phones and was acting like a teenager for a bit...completely in her own world.  Thankfully it only lasted for about a day.

Sometimes I can really see the resemblance

Usually one of them is pouting

Millie continues to love school and her teacher and most of her classmates.  She seems to participate and cooperate, and her teacher gives her lots of hugs.  This is just what Millie needed this year.

They've learned a lot about weather and winter lately.  Millie is disappointed that we haven't had snow this year.

She's getting better at writing her name

she can write quite a few letters now

still hasn't gotten down tracing, but we are working on it

look at this beautiful rainbow of colors

I think she has a knack for color coordination

She is constantly drawing these maze-type things.  Very intricate.

She's started drawing little pictures, like this awesome rocket!  Good job, Mills!!

Syd is finally getting into the artsy crafty thing

She likes to color for short periods of time...you know she's done when she starts eating the crayons.

lotsa polka dots

she sounds so cute when she says "fish"

Cars dipped in paint make cool tracks

Millie loves dropping Syd off in her classroom.  Syd is so comfortable now and happily waltzes right in and gives her teacher a hug.

I love this one.  Awesome job, Syddles.  Good concentration on the middle parts.

I know this doesn't look like much, but compared with her stuff from the first of school, this is big.

Her Monday teacher on the left is Ms. Bridgett and her Thursday teacher on the right is Ms. Erika (Millie's former MDO teacher!).

Syd was proud of this penguin (and she sounds so cute saying penguin too).  Valentine's Day is this week!! <3
