It's Starting!

Eddie finished his first week of preschool and all appears to have gone well. He brought home his first project--a yellow star that he cut out himself. It was really good, better than I usually do.

Eddie and Josie both love playing with the trains--they do not spend very much time put away. I know he really wants some taller bridge options (and almost bought him a toy for this purpose last xmas), but the below picture illustrates both my point and Eddie's creativity. We have this awesome 'flexi-track' and while they have used all sorts of contraptions in the past, the below struck me.

While Eddie was at preschool, Josie and I were playing in the family room and I was taking pictures of Ed's track. Josie wanted her picture as well. She looks so grown up and so different than a year ago.

But here's where she's REALLY growing up. Eddie has been wanting to sleep in the same bed and the same room as Josie (I think because several of his friends share rooms with their siblings). He offered for her to sleep in his bed at naptime and she agreed. I really didn't think it would work and envisioned a lot of up and down the stairs before she would ultimately end up in her crib. Low and behold, aside from needing to bring her a paci, she went right to sleep! Guess it's time to start looking at big kid beds for Eddie more seriously.
