This has been a huge week in the Reeves' household. Two big milestones. First was Carrie's first day of Pre-K on Monday. She had been going to her new "big girl" class for a week, but without the curriculum and without the uniform. Monday was the first day of at least the uniform ("official curriculum" doesn't start for another week, but you could have fooled me!). Here's a picture of the newest member of pre-K:
I can't get over how freaking grown up she looks. Boo. And here's the rest of her class as well:
Love that they have such small class sizes compared to some other schools! What's crazy about this class is how calm it is.....Anna gets dropped off first, and of course the 2 year old class is chaotic at best. But even Carrie's old classroom, which had pretty much the same children in it, was nuttiness at times. This class, not so much. You go in at any point in time, morning or afternoon, and they are CALM. I don't know how her teacher does it. Benadryl, maybe? I kid. But seriously, another mom and I were talking about this the other day. Just two weeks ago they were running around like wild banshees, and now they are acting like they know what they are supposed to be doing in the classroom setting. It's amazing. Too bad that doesn't carry over to the home environment, where Carrie seems to forget how to use her ears!!
Anna turned two as well, and we had her birthday party over the weekend. I still can't believe she's two!! I don't know why - she certainly has the attitude to go with her age :) I think she tries to overcompensate to be sure to be heard over her big sister. We had cupcakes in her classroom on her birthday to celebrate the big day, and they were a big hit:
The birthday party was great fun, and it was nice to see my family from Atlanta who made the trip. Today we had to take both girls in to get them up to date on their vaccines. Never a good trip. Carrie knew what was coming, and she had to get two vaccines. Anna only had to get one. Both girls were unhappy to say the least, but the tears magically disappeared when the stickers came out. Turns out Anna has grown three inches since her last visit in March. I knew she was hitting a growth spurt, but good grief! I told the doc that at this rate there's a very good chance we'll end up passing on hand-me-ups instead of hand-me-downs between her and Carrie!
