Back to School for Amia

p1020556.JPGAmia had her first day of school for this year a couple weeks ago. She’s officially back in the “school-groove” for fall. It was a long stretch being away from her many friends, but she weathered it well and is thrilled to be once again spending her mornings amongst other youngsters. She is at Children’s House Montessori again this year. We’re excited to see what she learns this year. Reading is no doubt right around the corner!

Myles Saying “Baaaa”

Listening to Myles try and talk is so much fun. He’s convinced, of course, that he’s saying something truly important. And he knows that he’s starting to “get” it…albeit slowly. You can see the look on his face when he realizes that you are connecting with whatever he’s “saying”. It’s a joy for everybody. Here’s a little clip from the other evening after dinner.

Howling at Mia

Once again, Amia found a way to get Myles to laugh out loud! In this video we are on vacation in Montana, and he just thinks she’s about the funniest thing on planet earth.

“A Tisket A Tasket…”

Singing away in the back seat on the way to who-knows-where with Papa. And yes, I should not have been holding the camera over my head while driving…or eating cereal…or talking on my phone….oh well.

Jumping At Cape Kiwanda

You can’t fully appreciate how steep the hill is in this video, but it is! Brave little Amia and I took a long hike up to the top and all around the Cape that day. Lots of good exploring. So jumping down was a nice reward after a long trek.

Spraying Myles!

I honestly don’t know how she thought of this one, but one day Amia got a wild hair (I know, shocking) and decided to spray Myles with the spray bottle! Of course! Why not?! It’s safe, right? It’s just water. Well, in his usual adoration of anything she does, he took it in stride, played along and had a grand ol’ time.
