Soccer Star

We signed Lily up for soccer this fall at the rec center. She's always been really good at kicking the ball straight and hard, so soccer seemed like a natural fit. She was excited for her first class...until we got there.

To say that she's been less than enthused woudl be an understatement. It's an 8-week class and we're sticking with it till the bitter end. She's really good at doing all the drill the coach asks the kids to do, but she doesn't like to play one game that the coach makes them play each week called "What Time is it Mr. Wolf?" It's not a scary game but it does  involve the coach pretending to chase the kids.

Here are some pics of her when she's in the mood to participate (and one of her when she didn't want to):

Three Months Old!

Look at that face!

Marin turned three months today. She's such a doll and a pleasure to be around. She loves to chatter away while looking at her toys and mobile. Marin is a happy girl most of the time and really only fusses when she's tired or hungry. She goes to bed around 8:00 every night and wakes a couple of times before she's up for the day. We're still waiting for her to sleep all night, but she's young and we're patient!

Her unofficial weight (per our bathroom scale) is 16 lbs. She has doubled her birth weight in three months. Way to go Marin!

Princess Marin

First Day of Preschool 2

 

Lily was so excited to go to her first day of Preschool 2. In PS2, she'll learn how to write her letters, have a bi-weekly science lesson and become more independent by learning how to serve herself at lunchtime, as well as having a weekly "job" in the classroom. Such a big girl!
