Q is my trusty buddy every time I vote. It’s so fun to explain the whole thing to him.

And now:

Mystery Box for Boosch

One of Q’s favorites things from preschool and pre-k was the mystery box. Every kid gets a turn (or three) to take it home and bring it back with something special along with three clues to help their classmates guess what it is. Q’s teachers were always so impressed that he would stand up and recite his clues all by himself- usually the teachers read them.

Anyway- it’s a huge deal when you’re 3 and 4.

Today when I picked Isla up from school her teacher promptly announced that it was Isla’s turn!! She could not be more excited. She was also super jazzed to tell Q which I think is super cute.

Here she is hiding it behind her back as she walked into the house so she could “surprise” Q with the big news.

Watch Week

It was parent watchbweeknat ballet today which means the parents get to sit in and watch practice. Isla did an amazing job for the first half and then competely lostbsteam and took a 20 minute break on my lap. We figured out that she “ran out of power” on the drive home.

Spotlight

Isla was all over her class’ weekly reflection. Can you spot all three Isla’s?

Bright Spots

We’ve all been trying to find as many bright spots about Q’s diagnosis as we can. He found a big one today- he’s the only kindergartener that we know who has his own iPhone! He was so excited all day. He ran around taking tons of (awful) pictures and this super cute one of his sis.

Don’t worry little buddy, we’ll find you lots more bright spots!

Perfectly sums up Isla

No, we did not leave her out. She was invited to be a shark with us. In fact, she has two shark costumes but chose to wear this dress and once she realized how badly I wanted a picture, refused to look forward.

Love you my little crazy princess!

Also, Q would like for you to notice that he is biting her hair because he is a shark and sharks bite.

One last thought- I officially hate Halloween and am so glad it’s over.
