School / No School

This posting was supposed to be about playing hookey and going to the Arboretum with Mommy and our friends to see the pretty flowers and pumpkins ... but I got strep throat instead. Yuck. Good news is, it wasn't the H1N1 swine flu; the bad news is, it wasn't the H1N1 swine flu, so we're still susceptible to it at some point this season. Not only was Mommy was so disappointed that we didn't get to go to the Arboretum, we were quarentined at home with a sick me! But since I was in a great mood despite the fever, we hung out in PJ's all day and took advantage of our days at home.

Found some new shoes ...

... Too bad they're a little big

Snack time!

See? I feel fine!

After being out for a couple of days, I made it back to school just in time for my fall pictures. I know, I know, I look adorable. Too bad the photographer didn't really catch me in my best mood; I think they took pictures right after I got dropped off (which is never the best time of day for me). The next day after the pics, the fever was back again, so I finished out the rest of the week with Mommy at home. Mommy bought the one calendar even though she didn't love the pictures because, c'mon, how can she turn down pictures of me?!

All dressed up at home

The actual pics:

1) sad,

2) bored, and

3) annoyed?

The Monday after being out sick all week, I started my new classroom. I am now an "Early Prechooler", at least according to my school. After Mommy found out that Sofia and I have been walking around pointing at the little ones in my class and saying "baby" in the their faces, she figured I'm probaby ready to move up.

My "first day of school" outfit.

The actual drop off in the morning has been terrible, but I don't want to leave and always want to stay longer at the end of the day which means that I'm really enjoying myself. They have lots of new activities that I love like the parachute and play-doh that I didn't have before, and -- the best part -- I've been reunited with Juliet (and Ro-Ro and John and Finley) and I got to move up with Sofia. Together again!
