Big Sister

We're expecting our second baby on August 15th. Violet is very excited to be a big sister. She talks to the baby all the time and tells her that she loves her. I tell her what a great big sister she is going to be, and how the baby is going to know who she is right away because she hears Violet's voice all the time. We'll see how she does once the baby is born, but for now all is good. Violet only has a few weeks of preschool yet. I think it's going to be hard for her to wrap her head around not going to school for almost three months. She's so into the routine now. When she goes back in the fall she starts Pre-K and will be in three half days a week instead of two. We really did want to send her for three full days, she would love it, but it's just not in our budget right now.

My baby also no longer has her long "Rapunzel" hair that she insisted she would never, ever have cut. She attempted a self-style after the scissors were left in her reach. As you can imagine, it didn't turn out to well. Daddy emailed me the photographic evidence at work, and then took her right to the salon to get it fixed the best they could. This was back at the end of March so it's finally evening out to where he took her back about a week ago and got it cut shorter and a little more even. It looks really cute. She wanted it just like her cousin Gabby, so now they're going to look like twins.
