The many faces of Eleanor

First day of school!

Caroline started preschool this month.  Since we are so very lucky to have Daiane with the girls during the day, she has never been in a drop-off situation.  Until now!  Caroline attends the Community Preschool of the Palisades three mornings a week.  She is a proud Polliwog. Luckily a few of her friends are in her class (Mariam, Darya, Hannah) so we had something to talk about in the weeks leading up to this:

Good thing we had her favorite color green dress that even had a "C" on it to wear.  And a backpack with her "letters" that she selected.

Eleanor and Nini are attending Little Graces Playgroup (we call it camp) on the mornings Caroline is at school.  Both girls went last year and E is at the perfect age to enjoy the crazy fun in the basement of St. David's Episcopal one block away. She runs all around and plays and is into everything, so it is perfect.

No tears from my big girls yet.  Now just to get some information about her day out of Caroline (other than what she ate for snack!).  Oh and this is what we submitted as our family pic for C's cubby. #selfie

EMN 12 Months Old!

So I am over a month late with this post.  I blame SUMMER!  Eleanor is still my chubby nug, even though she is only 50-75th % in weight, and 90+% height and head. At her one year appointment she weighed almost 23 lbs and was almost 31 inches long.

I hope to do a year long comparison soon.  But really she is just a joy.  A champion sleeper whose eyes disappear when she smiles.  She is strong and strong willed.  Slow to warm to people but a lover.

Happy one year together Eleanor!
