Five Fact Friday

Five Fact Friday – We’re back at school after a few weeks off and have been trying to get back into the swing of things. From new goodbye routines to serious facial expressions, it’s been a week! 

1. Easters. I’ve got some really fun Easter projects in the works in the next few weeks, and I’m SO excited to get a jump start on them. I’m planning on some early egg dyeing and painting this weekend so we can share! (side note: after seeing Nacho Libre, I can no longer say “Easter.” It pretty much always comes out “Easters.”)

2. Back they go. Both littles went back to school this week. Sophie has been counting down the days (she loves a break, but also loves school), and she got Milo pumped up to go back too by talking about how much fun he’d get to have.

3. Love language. And what fun he had! Milo’s class did letter ‘W’ this week and (because his teacher is amazing, incredible, and wonderful) she’d planned all kinds of fun things for them to do–from sensory play with real WORMS (which he loved–yuck!) to a pajama-and-waffle party (pajamas and carbs are Milo’s two love languages).

4. Love you, bye. Without a word about it, Sophie developed a new goodbye routine this week when we drop her off at school. She wants to walk as much of the way by herself as she can, so Milo and I hang back until she gets all the way in the gate. She LOVES the independence, but this week, she’s been quick to give us hugs and kisses and a real “love you, bye!” instead of the “see ya!” she’d toss over her shoulder without a look back  she was doing before the break. Milo is in heaven and so am I.

5. The Boy with 12,000 Facial Expressions. I love this picture so much because in the 30 seconds I was shooting photos, he had SO many facial expressions. He’s 100% of whatever emotion he’s feeling and it cracks me up! So many of those emotions have been spicy this week, but he’s also thrown in lots of snuggles and “I love you, mom”s that keep me going. Thank goodness for those happy moments to carry us through!

The weekly newsletter is headed out tonight at 6pm PST. This week, we’re talking about Easter traditions (what are yours!?), some weekly faves, and a menu plan for the week. Be sure you’re signed up if you don’t want to miss it!  

Happy Weekend, dear reader!
Wishing you every good thing!
