September 1st was the first day of the 2022-2023 school year but Charlie went on the 2nd because the 6th graders had to go first for a day! Heres the pics enjoy!
Alas, at 2 years and 7 months old...princess is potty trained. Poops and pees. I am sure we will have a moment or two of regression but overall she is doing a fabulous job. So proud of you (and one month sooner than older brother). Here she is...disheveled hair and all.
I read something in a magazine awhile back that while we are the most interconnected generation, we are also the loneliest generation. How true. While I think about that, I walk around the neighborhood and I think of society and how we have changed. Even during the summer months, we struggle to find even one other family at the park with kids, however, the dog park is always packed (side note). I observe kids in various capacities having melt downs about not getting to play the iPad or tablet or melting down when it is taken away. And, granted, tantrums are not new, in 1981 when my mom raised me she didn't have to deal with tantrums about electronics. I also read comments made that my kids view "going outside to play" as a punishment. We walk into swim lessons and every person is on their phone or tablets....even the kids. How will my son learn to interact with other kids when they are on a device? Where has communication face to face gone? I am not saying I am not guilt...
