First Day of School '10

I sent two big kids off to school this year. I'm not quite sure how that happened.

Lindsay started at her preschool on Monday. She'll receive all her therapies at the school during the day. She absolutely loves it. She runs into school and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. At first, we thought we'd be putting her on the bus to and from school, but we decided to enroll her in the before/after school care. It is offered only to Cabarrus Co. School employees so we lucked out!

Alex started school on Wednesday. He is now attending the school in which I work. I've missed being in the same school so it is really nice to see him now and then during the day walking down the hall with his class. He is adjusting well and making friends.

Georgia Aquarium

We took a quick trip down to Atlanta to visit the aquarium. We all loved it.
Lindsay was especially fascinated by the fish.

Lindsay was asleep by the end. She didn't sleep well while in the hotel. She woke up at 2:00 a.m. and only slept on and off until 6:30. Dan and I took shifts wrestling her into the bed. She got to sleep on the way home!

Escape Artist

Recently Lindsay has found another way around those

pesky gates. For awhile she kept getting stuck in the

"moat" between the half wall and the couch but she

learned that if she really kicked her leg up and over, she

could reach the other side. We have since moved the

gate to another location, but she now has access to

the kitchen.

YIKES!

You thought I was sleeping.

Lindsay has been a very difficult napper this

summer. 3 days after school ended, Lindsay

decided that she was going to stop taking naps.

This was not an option.

I had to remove all her toys from her room and

she still found things to "play" with.

Who would have thought that socks and

paper were so much fun?

So everytime I put her to bed, she would immediately

empty her sock drawer and another drawer that had

some birthday cards.

I ended up sitting in her room until she fell asleep

which could take anywhere from 10-45 min.

This is what her room looked like before I started

sitting with her.

That was hard work! Look how exhausted she is.
