I'm officially giving myself the worst blogger of the month award! Now that the kids are in school, I've got the time, but for some reason I just don't have much to talk about. Imagine that! School is going well. We are almost 5 weeks in and the kids are both loving it. I couldn't ask for a better start for the year. I fretted over our decision to change Audrey's school and have been so thankful for her new class and teachers. It is going so well. We also changed her speech therapist due to scheduling issues and even that has went better than I could have imagined! We updated her speech testing with the new therapist and she has made some progress in some areas since her last eval in March. We've worked so hard on getting her to talk, that now we are having to focus more on improving her listening/understanding skills. I'm hopefully that this area will come along too this year.
Andrew is still loving school. He comes home each day full of "random" information to share with me. Yesterday I asked him who was at his table now. He named off 3 girls. I said "you're the only boy at the table" and he responded in a very serious voice, "Yes, I am surrounded by girls, mom." But don't worry, he loves it. He loves an audience and I think girls provide more of one than his boy peers do.
Other than that, life is well. Cooler temperatures arrived this morning and are a welcomed change! We are looking forward to the fall!
Here's a picture I just pulled out to compare Andrew's first days of school. This is him on his first day of Mother's Day out 4 years ago!

Audrey practicing for school pictures.

The sweetest smiled I got out of her. Too bad her hair didn't cooperate.
