All New Things

Here I am packing lunches last week. We will pack lunches 3 times a week now because I got a job! Yep, I now work at an academy. It's a wonderful school right around the corner from our soon to be house. Along with the job offer, Piper and Miles get to come with me! She goes to pre-K and he hangs out with me and other wee ones. It's a wonderful arrangement, particularly for Piper. She has been talking about going to school for a very long time and it has finally come. She loves it and is doing splendidly! On our way home the first day, she was telling me that some children were being poor listeners. I asked her if she was being a good example for them and she replied "yep, I wiggled MY arms like an octopus." I don't know the story behind that one, but it sounds like fun.
On another note, while watching the Olympics, Piper decided she'd like to try gymnastics. We got her started in a children's class three weeks ago. The class has brought out this new found confidence and adventure in her. She's jumping off everything now, which sometimes makes me cringe. If you are wondering about her crazy hair, so am I. I can't contain it. All she has to do is move and all her hair ties and clips fall out like a cartoon.
