Teachers, braces, and a new scooter

We went to the local elementary school today to meet Treasure #1's new 3rd grade teacher. There was a stack of papers to fill out and then the new teacher took a picture of Treasure #1. She posed for the camera and loved being the center of attention for the moment. Both of my Treasures were so excited to be at the school and can hardly wait for Monday to get here. When we got home, Treasure #1 asked if she could get her backpack out of the car so that she and Treasure #2 could play school. She absolutely loves school ... and for that, I am thankful. I'm sure Treasure #1 will be the teacher and Treasure #2 will have to do everything the teacher says. What fun!

Treasure #1 has her first orthodontist visit in two weeks to get the first treatment (whether that will be appliances or actual braces - still to see). She is excited about this too. Treasure #1 is generally an optimistic person who sees the good in everything.


I thought Treasure #2 needed something special this year for the beginning of school, since she will be entering the K-4 program. So Treasure #1 and I purchased a three-wheeler scooter. Treasure #2 had played with one over at a friend's house and loved it. I think it appeals to her because it offers more stability than a two-wheeled scooter. Treasure #2 is a more conservative and cautious person than her older sister. I can't wait to give it to her on Monday morning before school!
