I Love Pickles: First Day of School And Belly Sleeping

Yes, today was Sofia's official first day of school. Well, it's Mothers Day Out but it's preschool pretty much for 2 year olds. I had mixed emotions about this but I now have no doubt in my mind we made the right decision. She walked right in, said bye and never looked back! She was so excited to start school, and man does she need it. As much as I love spending time with her each day, I feel that she really needs a little more structure and learning interaction. She is a very active and inquisitive little girl and I think a two day a week preschool is just what she needs for now.

We had her enrolled and ready to go at a great preschool in Milwaukee but when we made the move to Houston, I had no idea where to send her. I thought I'd wait until we had our house but as we wait and wait I figured I'd just bite the bullet and research places around my parents' house. I had four for three different churches/schools and all were full but one, which happened to be a GREAT place and highly recommended by lots of people. So exciting! So, we visited, got all the paperwork done, and started her today. She missed the first few weeks of class, but I think she'll still just fit right in :) The dry erase board outside of her classroom door said "Welcome Sofia". So sweet! I can't wait to pick her up this afternoon and hear all about her day.

As for Gabe, I know I keep talking about him rolling over but now he's doing it when he sleeps and seems to like it a LOT. He looks so sweet sleeping on his tummy, I just want to grab him and cuddle him. Last night, I rolled him back over to his back (b/c I'm paranoid) but woke up this morning and there he was back on his tummy. Doctor says it's OK to keep them on their tummies at night as long as they have the ability to go back and forth so I guess he's turning into a tummy sleeper! He's also also loving his baby cereal now and over the next couple of weeks I'll start adding some veggies in there. So exciting! Last night, he ate so much cereal and got really angry when it was all done! Too funny. . . he has a little temper on him when he's hungry. Weird, I have no idea where he got that from???
