September Happeneings


We love to go to the swimming pool.  Our local indoor pool at the rec center is loads of fun and perfect for little kids.  We spend hours there at least once a week.  Luke and Clara especially love it, and Ellie is coming to love the water too.
 
Heading to the swimming pool means our kids are becoming better swimmers all the time.  Plus there's lots of laughing and goofing off for great family fun.
 
 
Luke has been begging for a long time to put some colors in his hair.  I guess since he's a hair dresser's son, he should be able to do something fun.  So we finally bleached the front so he could have blonde spikey hair.  He's funny about his hair, he determines the length and frequency of hair cuts.  Some days he doesn't even care if his hair is combed, and others he thinks his hair is too long.  Such a silly boy about his hair.
 
Clara finally got to start a preschool that is just for her.  It's so hard to be younger than Luke for her.  She can do everything Luke can do, and she wants to keep up with him in every aspect.  It was really hard for her when Luke got to start kindergarten this year and she didn't.  Her preschool started a few weeks after kindergarten so those few weeks were rough.
 
Clara is very smart too.  She probably could go straight to kindergarten and she would be just fine.  Preschool is more something fun and social for her, and an opportunity to do something that is just for her.  I love that she dresses herself every day.  Her sense of style isn't always spot on, but it's just Clara's personality shining through.  One of my favorite things she has said so far about preschool was when it was the first show and tell day.  She picked one of her "my little pony's" to show and a Dora doll.  I asked her how show and tell went.  She said she introduced her pony as "this is Rainbow dash, and she's a pony."  Then she introduced her dora doll like this "this is Dora, she's a human."  The things this little girl thinks of.  She's smart and funny, and simply adorable.
