Lorelai missed her friend Brianna. It was fun to get to play, though she said she was going to miss her family very much today. Today is Lexington’s first birthday! When he and Mama came to pick up Lorelai at Ms. Stebbins, Lorelai was very excited to kiss her baby and sing Happy Birthday to him.

Today was Lorelai’s first day of pre-school. She woke early and spent the morning with Nana. Nana said that she had school on the brain, building a school with blocks and learning to use big girl scissors in the craft room. Mama took her to school at noon where we met Aunt Cait and Nicky. Lorelai had fun coloring, playing with new toys and kids, and making music while Mama was downstairs learning from the principal. Afterwards, she was excited to pick up Lex so she could tell her baby about her adventures.

Tomorrow is Lorelai’s first day of pre-school. She is very excited and has many questions about going to school and when things will happen. She spent the day with Gigi, going on an adventure where they found berries in the park.

We had birthday cake tonight at Nana’s house for Lex. Lorelai’s baby brother is going up into a ‘cutie little boy’.

We had Pop-pop pizza night tonight. It is the newest version of our weekly family gathering. There won’t be any complaints from Lorelai. She loves pizza. And cousins.

9/7

We went to Uncle Spike and Aunt Erin's house tonight for dinner. Before eating, there were some games to play outside. Lorelai's version of Ladder Ball was quite interesting.

9/6

Lorelai LOVES to go shopping with Mama and check out new accessories.

9/5

With Lorelai's guidance, Mama made a Shark Attack blanket for her. Alternate options included a mermaid tail but she said that if you spin the blanket around, it is both. So creative, this girl!

Happy Pop-pop Pizza Night. We moved the weekly family gatherings to Fridays now. It makes a nice cap to the week and start to the weekend. Having all the kids together can get quite noisy but we love to see them play.

9/2

We watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time today. Lorelai had a lot of logistical questions about their world but in the end really loved the story and the songs.

9/1

It was a very busy day of playing and giggles-- Mama almost forgot to get a picture of Lorelai! Sweet dreams, little princess.
