Preschool and Using Her Hands!

Josh's first day of preschool was this month. He has finished 2 weeks now, and he's still adjusting to it. His class is large - 17 kids, which I think intimidates him a bit. His teacher, Mrs. Minton, is wonderful, and is very patient with Josh. He's being evaluated for developmental preschool in September, and if he gets in, they will be abe to work with him on these type of situations. Sounds like he has a bit of social anxiety - but he comes by it naturally!

Here is the long line of cars (notice the abundance of mini-vans) waiting to pick up the kiddos on the first day.

Though it wasn't planned, Josh and Erin got walked out together, and I managed to get a cute shot!

In other Groff news - Maddie has her 3rd ear infection!! Or perhaps, her 2nd part 2, since this is not even a week after she finished the last course of antibotics. So it's on to something stronger. I fear I see ear tubes in her future just like her big brother.

But she has started to really connect with things with her hands. She's been grabbing at the toys that hang above her head in the kick gym. But today, for the first time, she moved the "slot machine" on her excersaucer. I got it on video, and just have to share...

And in other, other Groff news - my mom's house sold! It wasn't on the market long, and it was a decent offer, so we took it! Last weekend Ben and I made the trip up to CP to clean out the rest of the items in her house with Miss and Steve. A big thanks to Cindy and Katie for helping out! I think there was more to do than we had realized.
