Well, it is official these kids just keep growing. No, I am not referring to the new snowsuit I had to buy Clara last week because of an inch of wrist skin sticking out between her sleeve and glove in the old one. Nor am I referring to the jeans Leo no longer needs to roll up (maybe he is growing some legs finally!). What I'm talking about is KINDERGARTEN! I registered Clara yesterday for Maternelle; It was surreal, I was filling in paperwork not really comprehending what I was doing. It was only when the school secretary was going over the documents and confirmed verbally "Elle va etre en Maternelle en Septembre?" and I had to anwser, out loud for the whole world to hear "OUI"

Of course, now I can't stop thinking about what life will be like in September 2007. There are so many unknowns in our family's future; we don't know where we will be living, so as a result we don't know for sure which school Clara will be attending. I don't know if Leo will be toilet trained so I don't know if he will be at the Carrefour preschool or if I'll get to spend one more year with him at the parent-enfant atelier. Will Clara come home for lunch or will she take her lunchbox with her in the morning? So many questions, so few answers.

Leo just brought the baby doll to me for a hug. He's been really clingy and needing lots of affection lately so I guess he's transferring some of his needs to the baby doll. I just asked him what the baby eats and he said "leaves" Hmmm, I don't think we've been hanging around enough breast fed babies lately!
