Barbara has now been working for 2 weeks and things are going great. Barbara's mom stayed with Maggie most of last week and my mom will be here for a couple of days this week to help out. Maggie has done fine without us around and has adjusted well. She begins preschool on September 8th and I think she will do great. We have an orientation this Thursday so will see how she reacts at that time.
We had been expecting Maggie and Mia to play on the same soccer team with me being the assistant coach and Mia's dad being the head coach. On Saturday we found out that because Maggie's birthday is on August 1st and the cutoff date is July 31st, Maggie will actually be on a 3 year old team. Mia's birthday is on July 24th, so she will on the 4 and 5 year old team. We are pretty disappointed at the way things worked out, but will look forward to them playing together next year.
On Saturday we went to Ellie Lu's 2nd birthday party. It was a lot of fun and Maggie had a GREAT time. Elmo made a surprise visit and there were lots of activities planned for the kids. Maggie was not as shy as normal and had no problem going right up to Elmo. When he left, she asked if he had to go home to Sesame Street. The earring you see Maggie wearing in the pictures are stick on earrings. Both Barbara and Maggie want to get her ears pierced, but I am holding firm in waiting until she is older to make that decision.
The weather today was fall like so we went outside and played with Maggie's sidewalk paint. She had a lot of fun. The "Maggie" writing on the driveway was actually done by Barbara, the rest of the masterpiece is Maggie's.
Also this week, I was in Nashville for training from Wednesday to Friday. Maggie did fine while I was away, and was not standoffish when I returned, which I was a little worried about.
