First Day of Gard 2

Eliza too had quite a transition in "school" right after our vacation. All this week she was transitioning from her Toddler group to now the official Gard 2 group for two-year olds. So not only will she be doing art and music but now she gets to go to Spanish in the Library room! She's been doing great at school all week - only a few teary eyed drop offs (not bad after a 2 week vacation); I think the biggest change for her has been not seeing Molly at school like she would before. When I picked up Eliza on Molly's first day of kindergarten, the first thing she said when we walked out of her room was, "Tissy?" I said, "No, sissy is at another school now." I could see the wheels in her mind turning and she understood.

She has become quite the little shadow for all of us; whether it's a quick game of chase around the house to wild abandonment with "tissy-tissy" (a.k.a. sister Molly) to "me up"/"up me" when she is ready to be carried. She's also getting really good with 2-3 word phrases. Some of her favorites are:

• "Ahdoit" = I do it.
• "Ahdidit" = I did it.
• "momma read" (no explanation needed)
• "Ahtry" = I try.
• "Mon mon" = Come on.
• "Mar mar eat" = when Marbles has left his food in his bowl for better morsels under the table
