School bus
So far Leeza has liked pre school, but has not loved the bus. By the end of the first week, she was getting on without major crying- just a few tears that quickly dried up. This week she seemed to be doing better. Wednesday, I found out when I got to day care that the bus had been 30 minutes late in dropping Leeza off at daycare after school. The next day, I found out that the bus had a substitute driver that day and had forgotten Leeza was on the bus and was driving it back to the bus yard when Leeza sneezed! So she had the grand tour bus ride that day. The bus is a small bus and only has a few kids on it so I don't know how you can forget a kid! Her day care was already on the phone looking for her.Now she seems to love the bus. It figures- that would scare most kids and make them hate the bus even more, but not my kid. Now she likes it!

May
Wow, I can't believe it is May. We had a busy Saturday. We played with the play dough. Then I got out a bag of clothes I had been given. The girls had a good time trying on everything and then spread the clothes all over the living room. Sasha made up her outfit from her favorite things in the bag. At least it is colorful!
After nap time, I let the girls play on the computer and then we went outside. We went on a bike ride which ended up with the girls walking around the block and me dragging the 2 bikes behind them. I'm not sure how it ended up that way, but I couldn't get them on the bikes after the first 50 feet. They played on the swings while I cooked dinner on the grill. Many tears followed when it was time to go in and eat. They love to swing.

Many tears followed when it was time to go in and eat. They love to swing. They are both talking up a storm. It takes me a while to figure out what they are saying sometimes, but they are using new words every day.
Leeza has grown again. She is up to almost 33 lbs and has grown another 1/2 inch. That last pound feels like about 30 pounds when I try to pick her up.
Happy Birthday Frosty
Frosty turned 14 last Monday! She is doing good for 14 years old. She is still waiting for those noisy little things that chase her all the time to leave. She thinks she'd like to be their friend-if they would just stop pulling her ears and tail.
6 Months
Last Saturday was the 6 month anniversary of the girls coming home and us becoming a family. The girls have come so far in those few months. So many changes in our lives, but it has been a wonderful 6 months. Life has never been busier, but I have never been happier. I can't wait to see where we are in 6 more months.

Aunt Debbie and Cousin Niki
I am still catching up from last week. 
This is Debbie and Debbie Jr at the zoo. The girls had a good time at the zoo. They petted some goats in the petting zoo. Sasha loved the pen of guinea pigs. Then we rode the little zoo train. The girls were a little afraid at first, but Sasha was strutting when she came off of it. Just like she was thinking she was a big girl now that she had ridden the train. The zoo is small, but nice.
Lots of time was spent outside on the swings.
Aunt Debbie had to try out all the equipment. The girls are behind her pushingher down the slide.
When Debbie got tired of pushing, she talked the girls into swinging their sidewalk chalk.
They wore Niki out too so she convinced them to swing their chalk also!
They did get some time in actually swinging, but they have yet to figure out how to swing themselves properly.
The girls liked the sidewalk chalk, but they press so hard that it breaks easily. The have a lot of chalk so there is always another piece.
Sasha and Debbie planted a few tomato plants and marigold flowers. Leeza thought the dirt was way too dirty and had no interest in helping them.
We went out to dinner a couple of times. At first, Sasha was a little overwhelmed as the restaurant was very noisy, but she quickly adjusted.
Here she is later in the week, acting like an old pro at eating out. She was sitting sideways in her booster with her legs propped up-just having a good time.
Leeza liked going out also as she loves to watch other people- especially babies.
This day, Leeza did not get a nap as we went to her new preschool to meet her teacher and class that day. She was pretty tired that night.

Now the girls ask daily about the puppies and kitties!

Pre School
Leeza started preschool Monday. Her bus did not show up her first day so I brought her to school. There were a few tears when I left her at the classroom, but she was all smiles when I picked her up. Tuesday, the bus was late, but showed up and Leeza was not thrilled to ride in it. Today she did a little better getting on the bus, but was still a little unsure.
At preschool, she has had her first music class and met her new speech therapist. I kept her old speech therapist who will continue to come to daycare since preschool ends in a month for summer break. She misses her afternoon nap at daycare since preschool is in the afternoon. So far, she has been tired, but is doing ok. She seems to like preschool, but would rather not ride the bus.
