Sophie did great at school today. I had to nudge her a bit to join the group for circle time, but after that everything was smooth sailing. No tears...no accidents. I'm very proud of her. I tried to make a quiet exit, but Lucy kept shouting "See ya, Sophie."

(Sorry for the blurriness; I was trying to make my quick exit.)
I think a week of full days of school has finally caught up with Ella. She woke up quite crabby and irrational this morning. By the time she got on the bus, though, she was fine. She has started to receive homework this week, and has been pretty enthusiastic to complete it. I'm anticipating that the enthusiasm won't last too long, though.
Unfortunately, I must report that Lucy is confirmed to have entered the terrible two phase. Two weeks ago, I could sing the "clean up" song and get her to immediately cooperate. Not anymore. Two weeks ago, I could get her dressed without a fuss. Not anymore. Two weeks ago, she would wait patiently for a snack. Not anymore. And, if that weren't enough, her new favorite phrase is "No mother!" I didn't even know she knew the word "mother." She has proven that she is now eligible for the time-out chair.

I can hear your voice as you say "eligible for the time out chair".
Way to go Soph!
I'm trying not to snicker about Lucy.
Congrats to Sophia.
Ella is a southpaw, that's something I had forgotten.She looks like she could be in middle school sitting at that desk.
