Late August brought us home for a while. We continued the Sofia Birthday Fest by having a special dinner prepared for our homecoming by grandma, (thanks,mom!) Also Sofia was surprised by a new two-wheeled bike (Dora of course) (thanks for putting it together, Grandpa!)and balloons along with prezzies and cookie cake for dessert. We also celebrated that weekend at the local playground with Margy School friends and had a perfect day for playing in the spray park and having cupcakes in the shade!
Another big deal for us was Sof's first day of pre-school. The Open House was the Saturday morning before, which was a new experience for German and I to be in the audience of a Parent Info session. (We were sorry we had to miss Andy's ARE celebration in Boston, but will definitely visit, soon! BTW--He's trainigng for the Boston Marathon next spring!WOW). Sof started the Monday of the first full week of school for me. Grandma is our official Queen of the carpool and was raring to go! I was able to sneak away from my classroom for 20 minutes to see her off and shed a tear or two on the way back! She picked out her dress, a gift from Abuelo complete with kerchief, which she kept on all day, surprisingly! She had a ball at school and was thrilled to celebrate her birthday there last Friday when she got to be the student leader! (oooo, ahhh!) She is back in dancing with Miss Karen on Saturday mornings and we are working on making our new fall schedule feel normal after a summer of late mornings and lots of travel! Now if we could just get over our Early (too early) fall colds!
