Big changes around here... our baby girl started school.
I took her on a special shopping trip to pick out an outfit for the first day of school. It was hilarious. She was very particular about what she wanted... a light blue dress, with flowers, and pockets, she said. We went to probably 8 stores looking for this, but couldn't find it. We finally found a store with lots of dresses with pockets, and she tried on probably 15-20 dresses, but wasn't satisfied with any of them. I started asking what is was she didn't like, so that I could help find what she would like, so she came up with a new excuse for each dress. "Too short, too long, too ruffley, too fat, the flowers are upside down, and my favorite, "too crunchy" (I think she meant stiff). We finally went back to the first store and settled on this cute number. not light blue, no flowers, but it does have the all-important pockets for her collections.

This teacher has gotten GREAT reviews from lots of former students... we are so happy Clara got in her class!
She is enrolled in a Spanish Immersion program, and it is all Spanish- all the time, right from the beginning. I think she is a little overwhelmed with the long days and the new language. It broke my heart a little bit when she came home on Tuesday a little weepy, saying "Kindergarten is boring, because I don't understand anything they are saying. Everyone is speaking Spanish and I don't speak Spanish so I don't know what anyone is saying and so its really boring" (I think her word for frusterating).
