Milestone Days

Had to share this cute pic of TJ & Abby after an exhausting day of play!

Yesterday was a milestone for Abby ... she is one step closer to school, as we went for her kindergarten screening. She was so excited to go! She asked me several times if this meant she was going to kindergarten now instead of preschool ... so I had to clarify that kindergarten didn't start for a few months. HA

She would have nothing to do with wearing pants for the special day ... she had to find just the right pretty dress to wear to the school. It was so cold and damp that I had to dig out some tights, but she got herself all prettied up and off we went. She chatted with the kindergarten teachers as we waited, and she marched right back into the screening room without looking back. The teacher who took her back was TJ's kindergarten teacher, and she was his teacher when we made our trip to China 4 years ago. She was so excited to see Abby there!

Drew has a milestone of his own ... tomorrow he and I will head to Kenosha for the Monday morning registration session at Carthage College! He'll set up his fall classes, get his student ID and Carthage student email address, and meet with the Music Dept faculty. Should be fun! Except for they are supposed to get up to an inch of snow today/tonight ... UGGGGGH!
