After taking “first day of school” photos with her sister, I took some with her good friend/neighbor T, who is going to the same school as K. They are such cute friends!
Note that you can totally see the reflection of the two photog moms in the picture:
Unprompted hand-holding—cuteness!
Someday they’ll be a comedy duo:
K’s soccer team got their uniforms (matching T-shirts and knee socks), and looked pretty cute in them! She’s not going to become a soccer player as a career, but has improved so much over last year. She doesn’t like going after the ball when someone else has it, but is good at kicking when unopposed.
K. had her first day of school! She was excited to go and once she arrived, she wandered into the classroom like she’d been doing it for years. Although she didn’t like to be separated from me when she was an infant/toddler, now she’s matured into a confident little kiddo. She seems to really like school and loves her teacher.
K. started soccer through our church league. Last year was a challenge; this year is better already. She’s getting a lot better at being a part of a group. I’m fairly convinced that she won’t be a soccer player as a career—and actually more convinced that putting her in dance class is a good move: every time she was instructed to run, she would prance, and every time she stood idly, she would do some sort of ballet pose (arabesque, etc.).
After soccer, N. was playing with K’s socks and wanted to try them on—and once I helped her put them on, she went to the shoe rack and helped herself to K’s cleats. Not any random shoes, but the specific soccer shoes. I feel bad that she’s not old enough to do soccer yet—I think she’ll like the running.
K. got a great ballet DVD for her birthday, and she and N. like to watch it. K. is totally into dancing at the moment, and N. likes anything with physical movement.
Twirling baby. When we say “twirl,” N. will put her hands up and turn around. Too cute!
