This was a big month for Vivien- she joined Ryder at pre-school! When we decided that she would go to his pre-school too, we talked quite a bit to Ryder about helping her out, so she wasn't sad or upset on her first day! She is in the downstairs 3-4 class an Ryder is upstairs in the 4-5 class. One day when she first started going, the teachers couldn't find her and they found her upstairs, looking for Ryder. I'm not sure if she found him or not. Either way, she loves going to school.
Whenever Vivi is alone in the living room or sunroom, she gets out all the toys and starts playing like crazy. Even though they do play together pretty nicely right now, Ryder is very stingy about sharing his toys; frankly he is stingy about sharing HER toys! When she has the chance, she loves to play with all the toys, in her own way! She really loves the little Playmobil firefighter guys that we have; she's always bringing them to me to add on accessories, like visors, air masks and tanks and helmets. Both kids love all the little details of the Playmobil sets.
Vivi's hair is curlier than ever. She has adorable little ringlets that are super tight to her head when it's humid and just a little longer when it's not. When we're going out, I spray it with leave-in conditioner and comb out her curls neatly. Her hair is pretty fine right now, so it works, but we'll see what happens as it thickens up. Since I have bone straight hair, this is a learning experience for me!
This month Vivi has been waking up in the night and coming in tho sleep with us a lot. I love snuggling with kids at night and I don't mind when they come visit us, but one week between the two of them we got only 1 night of full sleep! The next night, I settled her back in her own bed instead of bringing her into our room and she has been back to self-soothing at night. We will still let her come in sometimes though! It's so sweet.
Starting at the beginning of the month, we have been doing crafts and decorating for Halloween. Vivi really loves to do "activities," so she asks practically every day. Our house is so decorated right now!
Happy girl!.
The two got in on it together and shenanigans ensued of course.
Super happy girl.
Always smiling and laughing.
Sitting still for a moment.
Obligatory action shots. These shots are how I convince them to participate, really! They love to look at them!
What a cutie.
