Climbing

Robin is nine months old today (pics to come) and just starting to walk. Three steps is her record so far. Sometimes she'll do all three steps with the same foot, so she winds up going in a circle! While she is still a little wobbly on her two feet, she is an awesome climber. Here she is climbing up the Very Tall Silver Slide at a park near our house.

Preschool

Miri started preschool today. It wasn't such a big transition since it was at her friend, Theo's house. Why? Well, after playing a crazy application and waitlist game, we got tired of doing an admissions dance for preschool. So, we started our own with some other parents in the area. Miri had a great time with Miss Asiatu. She "painted" and "drawed." They went to the park for their outside playtime. She had crackers and grapes for snack. Miri was very sorry to leave and can't wait to go back tomorrow!Ready to go in the car. Only problem, no shoes! Only other problem...we're not driving. We're walking. She is ready to go.

She is super excited about school. Her backpack has two water bottles in case one gets empty and she is still "really thirsty."Ready to go! Milko, Danny, Theo and Miri.

Summer Socks

Miri loves "Daddy games" -- games where Daddy gets to sit around and make the girls do all kinds of tiring/painful things. A new favorite is "Summer socks," which is how Miri pronounces "somersaults." Check it out:
