Transitions

The past 2 weeks, our little family has been working on transitioning into some new situations. Sophia moved up to the Toddler Room at Parents' Day Out, so she has a new teacher to get used to. We all loved Charlie, who took care of her in the infant room. It was hard to say goodbye. Even Charlie got teary-eyed when she talked about saying goodbye to Sophia. We're fortunate because we know, and also really like, Sophia's new teacher, Ms. Dana. Olivia had her when she first started at P.D.O. Olivia has completed her first two weeks of preschool. Luckily the preschool is in the same building as P.D.O., which makes for an easier transition for Olivia, and an easier for me when both girls go to "school" on Thursdays. Olivia seems to really like her new teacher, Mrs. Mesa. Already, she has gotten to do lots of fun things, lik painting, making a Fruit Loops necklace, and playing with a big parachute. I'm also adjusting to our new schedule. Over the summer, both O and So went to P.D.O. twice a week, which gave me time to clean, do yard work, and I also tutored during that time. Now Olivia goes to preschool on Thursdays and Fridays and Sophia goes to P.D.O. on Thursdays. Now I don't get quite as much time to get things done, but it gives Sophia and I some time to spend together. This past Friday I pushed her in the stroller while I rollerbladed. I think she had fun, but she seemed a bit cautious. I was really hoping that she was flashing back to the last time I took her and her sister rollerblading and rolled their stroller as I wrecked!
