It has been a busy two weeks, but we are starting to adjust to this crazy schedule. We made a quick adjustment 2 days after Adelaide started Pre-K and she now takes her lunch and stays until 1:00 instead of noon. It helps me tremendously and gives Dax time to get a decent nap in before we have to go get her. We run errands, go to the library, or the park in the hour and 15 minutes we have before Mia's pick-up time at 2:20.
Mia is loving school and will start violin next week. Adelaide loves school too and loves that she gets to take her lunch to school just like sissy. The girls have become fast friends with two sisters, Finley and Gracyn. Finley is in Kindergarten and Gracyn goes to Little Friends Preschool. Neither of them are in the same class, but they see each other on the playground everyday and they live in the same neighborhood we do. We have been to the park with them and they came over to swim with the girls on Sunday. Mia and Finley have big plans for a sleep over, but I am not sure when that might happen!
The girls started gymnastics last night and had a good time. I asked them if they liked it or loved it; Adelaide loved it, Mia liked it. We will stick it out for a couple of months and see if Mia likes it more...she really liked dance so I may just have to let them go seperate ways. Mia was with an older group though and she was the only one who is a 1st timer, so she couldn't do things as easily as the others and we all know that just really erks a Type A perfectionist now don't we!
Dax has been sick and getting teeth, so it has been a rough week for the poor little guy (rougher for mom though). Despite the cold and teeth he has found his naughty knob and cranked it to naughty to the 100th power. He is into everything these days (yes even the toilet)and doesn't like to be told no. I have a feeling potty train Mad-man won't be as easy as the girls! He has quite the lil 'tude and has even figured out how to pout. I was nearly in tears (laughing) the first time he did it. He even managed to cross his arms and look straight at the ground until big sister Mia came to the rescue!
Below is a pic of Mia swimming... I wanted to check out my new toy (waterproof camera).

Sounds like you are very busy! Glad to hear the girls have made some friends and it is nice that they are sisters even. Karen at work wonders if Mia is taking the Suzuki? method violin lessons. That is how Pam Becklun taught Piano remember. Karen said they bought her son the little tiny one and thinks he still has it in his basement.
That is so funny about Dax, I looked at the pictures in the toilet and then read about the pouting and I could just picture it. How cute!!!
