Summer's almost over!

Dear Libby,
You have had a great summer! We went to lots of baseball games (Liam's, of course), we went to the pool a lot, we went to the park a lot, we went to Wisconsin to visit your cousin Eleanor (who is kind of obsessed with you), and we did lots of fun things around town.

We had 6 days off together last week/this week while your teachers got ready for new kids to transition into your classroom. You're now back at school, and the classroom is totally different! There are lots of new kids for you to play with. This has all been a bit tiring for you and you are definitely having some big emotions lately! This morning you were SO tired, and did NOT want to get up. I had to wrestle you into your clothes and practically drag you to the kitchen, where you then dawdled eating your waffle. We finally had to go, even though you didn't finish eating. You cried all the way to the car, where I put you into your seat without even putting your shoes on. When we got to school, you told your teacher, "I'm frustrated and tired and can't calm my body, so I'm going to go lie down on the couch." Oh, my heart. You have so many emotions, and it's just so hard to deal with them when you are so tired!

You have definitely grown over the summer. When we picked Liam up at the end of his first day of school earlier this week, we walked up to the door, and you could reach the buzzer! At the end of the school year in May, you couldn't reach it! You are getting so tall, and we're buying your clothes in the "girl" side of the store now! No more "toddler" clothes for you!

I love you!

Love,
Mommy
