Preschool

Chloe's first few days of Preschool have been so sweet. She was excited on her first day and a week later she is still enjoying it. Now this isn't the preschool we had originally signed her up for. We were planning on sending her to Temple Tots a sweet little preschool in the basement of a Baptist church. It is the preschool I went to 32 years ago, same woman teaching. One week before preschool started I got an email saying that she was leaving the church and that the preschool would not go on. SO SAD! Chloe was pretty sad about it too. I quickly got on the phone franticly calling places because Chloe needs preschool (or is it mommy that needs it:). The first place I called had an opening, we visited and she loved it. In fact, I think it might be a better fit for her. It is a Christian preschool and I love hearing her spiritual questions coming up. I admit I am not always sure how to answer basic theological questions to a 3 yr old. And the topic changes so quickly.

C: Did Jesus like dying on the cross?
Me: No, it was painful and he carried all of our sin as he died.
C: But he CAME BACK ALIVE!!! That is so happy.
Me: It is.
C: I am Twist, you are Kiki(fresh beat band)

I am enjoying some time alone with sweet Phoebe. She is a great baby and getting some one on one time with her is great. I love Chloe, but she is LOUD and so physical in everything she does that some space is nice. I have been able to rest in the mornings, take a shower, go to Target in silence, and enjoy these newborn days. I know that next year I will have an active toddler to play with while Chloe is at preschool. For now, it is bliss.

This post is coming a week short, my 1 mth old is now 5.5 weeks. I find having 2 hands to type on my laptop challenging as after we put Chloe to bed I just enjoy holding Phoebe for some uninterrupted cuddles. Phoebe is a great baby! She cries when hungry (more than I would like sometimes), when we are burping her, and when she is trying to get those bowels workin'. She is pretty content otherwise. She has smiled and loves looking at a hippo hanging toy in the pack and play. She still sleeps in our room and dad helps every night with feedings, since I am STILL pumping trying to heal up. He is great. She sleeps 3 hrs. at night once or twice. We are getting some rest, and she falls asleep quickly after being fed. I am grateful for this sweet girl. Her sister, though having some major adjustment issues loves her a lot. We are blessed indeed. Here are some instagram pics until I can download a monthly one from the fancy cam.
