First Day of School (again)

We just returned from Ohio yesterday afternoon (Seanna and I) and went to visit my side of the family.  It was a crazy trip as always trying to see everyone in a short period of time and still attempt to keep Seanna on some type of schedule.  It was a wonderful visit and Seanna enjoyed every minute of the trip (including the plane rides as she thinks that is one of the best parts of traveling).  We were both exhausted yesterday and even though she woke up at 330am we decided to still try her first day of school today.  Taking a step back, we did enroll her in a different school a few weeks back and after a few visits I decided that it was not the right place for her.  Today, I absolutely, 100% felt that we made the right choice in changing schools.  She was sooo tired by the start of the school day I wasn't sure how she was going to do--she stopped crying and when I picked her up at 11am she FLEW into my arms and said "MOMMY I HAD FUN!!"  That might be my second proudest mommy moment with her!!  So needless to say she is doing great.  She will be going 3 days a week, part time and I think she is going to LOVE it.  She is already counting to 10 by herself, knows colors and her talking is beyond advanced for her age.  Her memory is amazing as I told her that I was going to the grocery store while she was at school today and when I picked her up she asked "All done grocery store?"  :)  Thank goodness I actually went as she asked to see the groceries when we arrived home.

Her eczema has really made some progress as she was diagnosed with a gluten allergy by the alternative medicine doctor and she is doing AMAZING!  We still have flair ups but we treat them quickly and we've pulled out most (she still sneaks cookies here and there) out of her diet.

She is growing like a weed and wearing close to size 4 clothes, she is almost in a size 6 shoe and growing by the day.

Hope all of you are well and enjoy some of these photos!  PS  I have located the button that allows readers to make comments and enabled it so I'm sure that Seanna would love to hear from her family and friends!!
