Last weekm we went to the Maynard Outdoor Store after school to get Finley a new winter hat. That morning, he tried on the one he wore last year and he said, "My head feels too small, I think I need a new hat." Ha, well said, little man.
After finding the hat successfully and exploring the store a bit, we paid and headed out. Finley was excited to see all the sports' goals/nets out and he was so sweet inviting Dagny into each net with him, "Come on, Dags, come in with me. Daaaaagny..."
In other big sibling news, Dagny started at Finley's preschool at the temple last week. I brought her over for a visit after school early in the week and she made herself right at home looking at books and bonding with Doobim the bear. Finley was so excited to have her there and showed her all around, it was hard to get them to leave!
A few days later, Dagny had her first day and she did great! Her teachers said she was a "pro" and did everything like all her (older) peers - sat at circle time, looked at books, ate her lunch, played outside, and took a great nap. Finley was a doting big brother who showed Dagny where to sit at breakfast, saved her a seat at Shabbat ("She sat on one side and Joshua sat on my other side," Finley explained) and asked if he could have snack with her in the morning after outside time, which his teachers agreed to. Also, they napped right next to each other and when I asked if they talked before sleeping, Finley reported, "We were talking and laughing until Rachel rubbed Dagny's back and she fell fast asleep." Awww.
We are so thrilled that she had a great transition from her other school, but even more proud that Finley made it possible.
This is very sweet!!
