Countdown to first grade!

Callum starts school on Monday! I think Pennie and I are more worried about it than Callum is, but then the poor guy has no idea of what he is getting into! He has to wear a uniform (basically kakhi, black or blue trousers; white or grey shirt with collar but no logo). He has a new book bag (a huge backpack, at least it seems huge to me), plus a ton of supplies (we had to get two reams of copier paper!). He has to be there at 8:15 to 8:30 on Monday... I'll try and get a picture of him all dressed up.

Belle is doing good. Her break is a thing of the past now. She will be going to pre-school 3 days a week, in the 4-year old class. She'll be going back to Highland, not Evergreen where there have been this last year. She still has two more weeks before that starts though.

Lexie is getting so big. She has been potty by herself 4 times today! We had to get a new potty for her, so we can have one upstairs and one down. Belle was trained by the time we moved in here, when she was just over 2. We also got Lexie a toddler bed today. She has been co-sleeping with us, but it is time to start moving her. Anyone big enough to go potty by themself is big enough to go sleep by themself, I say ;-) We put a "Princess" bedding set on it, and told her it is "Lella". She loves Lella (Cinderella). When it is time to get out of the bath she shouts "LELLA!", asking for her Cinderella nightgown. Nothing else will do nowadays. Of course, she is not actually in her bed now (at 10 pm). I'll go up in a minute and try to move her over...
