  Malena's life seems to revolve around food. For a while, I was proud that I have been raising such a healthy eater, but now I'm getting concerned. I can't find pants to fit her.
  
  Today, for example, we started back up again at Parent Ed "church class," as she calls it. I talked to her about going to church class a lot last night to prepare her for today. She kept saying, "Tomorrow church class? Snack?"
  
  Guess who was first to sit down at the table at snack time at church class today?
  
  Lately, she has been playing in her bed instead of napping for naptime. I just went in there to tell her for the third time to put her head down on the pillow to take a nap. She seems to think that when she naps, so does the rest of the world. Then she remembers Daddy went to work. So, just now she said to me, "Whens Daddy gets home, eat dinner?"

  Today is Mimi's first day at pre-school. I guess for at least the next 19 years, she'll be going to school. So, yes, this is an important day!
  
  We visited the pre-school a few weeks ago. She was thrilled by the idea that she could wash her own hands. The sink, soap, paper towels, everything were at her height. She has been talking about it ever since.
  
  It really was a non-event. She wasn't upset at all when she got there, and she wasn't upset when I was leaving. She is such a big, independent girl. I know she'll do just fine. I'm so proud of her!
  
  It was rough getting out the door because Thomas decided to jump out of his bouncy seat and onto the floor. Poor Thomas!
  
  -------------------------------------------------
  
  Yesterday was Labor Day, and we headed over to Paradise Cove Beach. It was so beautiful. Only 80 degrees over there. Malena had a blast playing in the sand and eating lunch at the cafe. She wasn't too brave in the water, but the waves were high, so I don't blame her. She loves the beach and the ocean. She is a water baby. Just like her Mommy always was. ;-)
  
  It was nice to just chill out on Sunday & Monday. Saturday was a BIG day. We had Mimi's birthday BBQ at our house. There were more than 60 people in attendance! It was a lot of fun, though. Kids were swimming, blowing bubbles, playing T-ball, making sticker visors, eating BBQ and delicious cake & ice cream. We only do this once a year, so even though it takes a lot of preparation, it is so worth it. It's always fun having people over. Mimi was a little overwhelmed at first with all the people at the house, but she soon acclimated and swam in the pool with Amanda (her babysitter) while T.J. cooked and I did all the running around. Thomas hung out in the bouncy seat outside once he woke up.
