September brought a new preschool for Caroline. So far, she loves it. I think that they must sing all day long since she knows about twelve new songs. I've had to google the lyrics for a few of them. The school is farther from our house, but only about 10 blocks and on the way to school.
We also visited our friends, RD and Kati, who live outside Charlotte at the end of September. She did great on the drive and loved playing with their kids, Hunter and Riley. It was a fun visit.
She also got her first haircut. The mullet was just getting a little out of control.
Other highlights (and mostly I just note these here so I don't forget since I haven't quite gotten around to that baby book). She still loves puzzles, but she's starting to get into make believe play. She pretends to cook pizza and go to the local restaurant, La Lomita, which really shows how much I don't cook. She's up-ed the counting skills to 19 - twenty trips her up for some reason. She definitely knows the letter C (which is always C for Caroline) and she's pretty consistent with recognizing about 10 - 15 other letters. Her language skills are growing by leaps and bounds every day. She cracks us up with some of her phrases - things are yummy in her tummy, if she doesn't want to do it then it's "next time," everything happened yesterday, all sleep is naps and "it happens sometimes" (i.e. potty accidents, falls on the sidewalks, etc).
Most notably, she is wearing underwear! It was very rough going at the beginning, but we're starting to see notable progress. She's also started the Why? stage - oh so fun. She wants to do everything by herself, which does not always help get us out of the house in the morning.
