Atticus started today at Lake Nokomis Kindertots. He was slightly hesitant to go but had a great day and quickly asked when he could go back. They read stories, worked on letters, played on the playground, did art and various other fun stuff according to Atticus. Each week has a theme and he is most excited for the Construction week. His teacher, Miss Sarah, is very nice and seems to really enjoy the children, so I think it will be a great year for Atticus. If it appears that Atticus is missing some hair, well that is true, he is as a result of a clipper mishap. After all the fixing my mishap required he is now without much hair. Thank goodness, for his super cute melon and mug.
Piper is loving kindergarten, she has settled in nicely after her 3 sick days. She is very proud of her ability to spell. She particularly loves spelling cat. Today she had her first Spanish class, and her first trip to the library when she checked out Curious George in Spanish, she was disappointed in my poor translation skills and suggested to me that she will probably get the English version next time. Tomorrow she is going to try out the bus, she is ecstatic about this! They changed the route so now she can ride to school in about 1/2 the time of the previous route. I will still do pick up from school.
Piper also started dance this week! She is thrilled to be doing tap and ballet!! Next week her tap shoes will be here and she has been asking everyday when it is time for dance.
Piper loves tap. She has a dynamo teacher, Ellen, who is loads of fun. All week she asks if it is time to go. Her fave move is "mopping the floor". Predictably, I will add I wish the floor was getting mopped with this move. We have been VERY! busy. Between, shuttling the kiddos to school, playdates, soccer and dance we are swamped. Add on daily chores, working and relaxing we are nearly jam packed. 
Piper has started soccer. They have practice on Wednesdays and GAMES! on Saturday. She has been fairly ambivalent about it until recently, she finally seems to be understanding the game a little more and now seems to be enjoying it more. 
Atticus and Zane. Buddies. 
Atticus played the entire 1 hour. He was a natural dribbler, he kept the ball close and had good control. I was super impressed. Sometimes it pays to be little.
Piper looked cute in the shirt, but was pretty ambivalent about soccer. She enjoyed playing goalie but sat down for the scrimmage. When she was in, and participating, she was a rockstar. She is a speedy little one! To her credit, her soccer mates did not seem to be rookies! They are all pretty fun to watch. I cant wait to watch Piper progress.
