Preschool

 Matteo has officially started preschool (well, a week ago, but close enough).  I called it preschool for the last two years, just as I do Nico's this year, but let's be honest, before the year before kindergarten it's mom's day out...or two days out.  He and Nico both seem to be enjoying it.   

Aside:  I took these pictures while pushing Aryana's stroller, so ignore the camera strap that seems to be in every picture.  Guess I didn't look at the camera screen. 

Aryana and I get to have some girl time every Tues/Thurs.  It's been really nice.

Plus she naps for 1-2 hours of it, so I get free time with no kids!  I actually watched a television show today.  Gasp!  I honestly haven't eaten lunch by myself in front of the tv since it was just Matteo.  So, no more complaining that I'm so busy with all these kids.  Ha, yeah right.
They are all very happy to see each other after school

And good and cranky for mommy from little or no nap.
I'm so happy to have all of them still at home with me for another year.  Then begins the big kid school stage...
FYI-Aryana is very eager to join her brothers at school.  The afternoon of the first day, she wore a backpack around the house for at least half an hour...that sounds a lot less dramatic than it was in real life.  A half hour is a looooooooooooooong time for a 15 month old.  Which reminds me, happy 16 months today to my baby bean!
