Over the weekend we transitioned Corinne from a crib to her first bed. I was worried that she wouldn’t stay in bed now that there are no rails keeping her in but after story time and lights out we didn’t see her again until we came to get her the next morning.

Last week Corinne started school. We had been talking about it for months and she seemed excited but we weren’t sure how it would go when it came time to drop her off on that first day. They suggested that we not linger around when we drop her off so we arrived and next thing we know Corinne is smiling and waving good-bye to us through the window. I think I was more nervous than she was. She will be going 6 hours per day for 3 days per week.

Corinne’s first lunch: almond butter and jelly on toast, bananas, and cucumbers.

I asked Corinne to hold up 2 and 1/2 fingers so i could take a picture for this blog post. She concentrated really hard and came up with what you see above.

For her 2 and 1/2 year old doctor’s appointment Corinne had to get 2 vaccines. I wanted her to make a sad face while she posed with her band aids covering up her ouchies but this happy little kid couldn’t even fake a frown.

I got the girls dressed up in the dresses that great grandma got them for Easter so I could take a picture of them to send to her for her 89th birthday. This is one of the few shots that I got with both of them looking at the camera.

Corinne used the potty for the first time today (not pictured). I was at work but I had actually called to check in on my lunch break when this momentous achievement occurred. We are waiting anxiously for a repeat performance…
