I Scream, You Scream. . .

This year, Caroline attended "playschool" on Monday and Thursday mornings. It has been such a wonderful year for Caroline; she has really flourished socially, making a bunch of strong friendships, and her confidence and independence have just blossomed. She absolutely loved school and her teacher Miss Judy. We've loved decorating our home with her art projects, listening to the new songs and poems she has learned, and watching the joy on her face when she sees her teacher and her school friends. Steve and I could not have been more pleased with her first school experience.

Caroline attended school with a completely different group of children on the two mornings, and almost right away Monday became her favorite day. The kids on Monday became a very close-knit group, and the moms really bonded as well. We decided that we should celebrate the outstanding year we've all had with an ice cream party in the backyard!

I know this picture is out of focus, but it so totally captures the essence of Caroline and Brianna:

Now if the weather will just cooperate, we are all headed to Jack and Teddy's beach house tomorrow! Hooray for summer!
