On Thurday Sophie and I started "school" together! It is the Little Me/February 2's class at Beth Tfiloh. It's a great program that starts out as a "Mommy and Me" and then transitions to a regular 2 year old preschool class. We go together on Thursdays from 9-10:30, then in February I'll drop Sophie off on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11:30. I am so excited- this is the smooth transition we both needed. We had a great time! We already knew all of the other kids in the class because they were in "camp" with us over the summer. The teachers are really warm and energetic. Sophie loved doing her art project, hearing the stories, singing, playing with the other kids, and jumping in the fall leaves! One of the teachers took pictures and emailed them to the parents that night!
Sophie is growing up so fast! She is really a little person now! I am really enjoying her personality and just hanging out with her. She has become so much more independent. She can feed herself with a spoon and fork pretty well. If I ask her to go do something or get something, she can do it with no problems. She brushes her own hair and teeth everyday. She can even dress herself as long as we are going somewhere where it is perfectly acceptable to be naked with all of her clothes worn on her head.
And Sophie isn't the only one growing- so is our family! We will G-d willing be welcoming another baby in late March! Sophie is very excited to be a big sister :)
I'm an interior designer and a former social worker, but more importantly, I'm a Mommy to Sophie (1-15-07), Lilah (3-27-09), and Jude (10-14-11). I enjoy long walks on the beach, sipping cocktails, and traveling to exotic places, but I currently wipe noses and bottoms, make up silly songs and dances, and say things like, "don't put feathers in the cantaloupe!"
