Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Today marks a big milestone â€“ Sophie’s first day at preschool! Sophie has been in daycare since just after her first birthday, which after a rough transition period turned out to be an amazing experience for our entire family. She had some fantastic teachers and made her first real friends there, so we’re all feeling pretty emotional with this transition. But I keep telling myself that we’re not really saying goodbye since Alice will hopefully start at the same daycare soon. And we’re feeling good about Sophie’s preschool â€“ we like her teachers and have already met some of the other kids in her class. My big girl is growing up so fast! Can we just ask the world to stop turning for a bit please? Well, in the meantime…
