The last couple of weeks in September seemed to fly by for our family. The girls were back in all their activities and we were just hanging out doing our usual family thing. I tried easing Dani into the nursery at church so I can more easily teach my co-op class on Wednesdays. I started by sitting with her through the whole time several times. Then she would get up and play, but she could keep me in eyesight. Then a couple times I left her for a short time and came back. She does great with Beth and it’s good to see her learning that we always come back.

Amelie started her last year of Museum School last month. She is really excited to be in the big kid class which is mostly made up of people holding their kids back from kindergarten and homeschoolers. Here are a few photos from the first day.
In mid September I took the girls to the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden at the Dallas Arboretum. We had never taken Dani and I knew she would love to be able to explore, but I didn’t want to go in the heat of the summer. The place was basically deserted when we arrived. We saw one school group and a lot of toddler aged kids. Nadia had a lot more fun this time around because she took the time to read a lot of the informational signs.

We had the entire lab to ourselves and the girls enjoyed all the special attention during the experiments.
Dani watched her sisters do this one time and then tried every step herself. It was really cute to watch her trying so hard to be just like them. It was a great day and we saw a lot of things that we missed the last time so that was very fun.
To end our day, Dani took her first bath with her big sisters and had a blast!
