After two successful weeks of school, Anna is in full kindergarten mode. I dropped her off in the cafeteria and she made it down to her classroom and got all of her items put in the appropriate buckets and was sitting so nicely in her chair when I came running down the hall because I was still holding her jacket - oops! It is still a learning process, and she looked really happy to see me, which means she hasn't moved into the 'Mom, you're embarrassing me' mode just yet.
Wednesday night was supposed to be our first night of soccer practice, but it was cancelled due to the weather. The parents convinced the coaches to have practice on Friday night since we still have our first game on Saturday and none of the girls have played before. Anna has made a new friend in her class at school, Makenzie, and we were very happy to find out that they are on the same soccer team. They are very sweet with each other and hold hands and run around. They both have little sisters and were trying so hard to get the younger ones to play together so that they could play together without the little ones! McKenna was not pleased with that AT ALL :) Anna and Makenzie taking a water break at practice.
McKenna starts preschool on Monday - her meet the teacher was today, and she can't wait to get started. She is jealous of Anna getting to go to school, and just wants to be like her big sister. She will be going 3 days a week this year, and taking a music class - I am excited to see how she does this year. She will be with some of the same kids as last year, but lots of new faces as well. She is being such a goof ball recently - she loves to make faces at herself in the mirror - she reminds Patrick and I of her cousin Tommy - he is a goof ball too!
Ava is making huge strides developmentally - she is sitting up unassisted, rolling over (when she wants!), getting into her belly laugh/screech and she is eating up storm in veggies. She will be 6 months old on Sunday, and her check-up is Monday so I will post stats after that. Look ma, no hands! Cell phone video isn't the best, but you can hear her laugh :)
We went to the lake for Labor Day weekend and Anna learned to drive the wave runner. Grandpa and she were going all over the place, but notice the series of pics below...
1. Anna driving, she seems to be saying 'Grandpa, would you like to go for a swim?'
2. Everybody off!
3. Anna laughing at grandpa after repeated attempts to climb back on the wave runner without knocking Anna back off! Grandpa was a great sport, Anna wasn't so sure she liked falling off, but she thought it was hilarious to watch grandpa. She was telling the story the rest of the day and laughing the whole time :)
