Another trip from the tooth fairy

Harper lost her second tooth earlier this week. And now both top teeth are wiggly too!

Sunday at the playground.

At the playground

Harper has been going to soccer practice three days per week so Reid and I have been having fun at the playground adjacent to the field during her practices. 

Hanging out with my girl!

While Harper is at hip-hop class, Reid and I get to wander around town 

Loves washing the dog and cat

I think she's spent 90% of her time in a Montessori classroom, including the summer camp she attended, washing the dog and cat. 

Getting settled in her new classroom

Today is Reid's first day at the Montessori school. 

Our soccer star!

I guess when you are the offspring of parents who met on the soccer field, this type of outcome is likely! Harper scored 5 of the 6 goals for her team at yesterday's game. She is incredible! And so humble, obviously, at her age. She is just out there, having fun but also stealing away with the ball and putting it in the goal. We are so proud! Andy was able to capture some of the action. It's not the best-quality video but she is the blond who keeps emerging with the ball.

97 degrees in Chicago today!

Harper's First Soccer Game

She is certainly Andy's daughter! She scored three of her team's five goals. She loved it and watching her out there was definitely the highlight of the weekend. Before next weekend's game, we will have a lesson about not stealing the ball from your own teammates. 

The Hideout Block Party

We met some friends visiting from San Francisco at a hipster music festival downtown. Of course, Harper dressed the part. 

Harper's first day of Pre-K

Harper started her second year at Creative World Montessori. She'll be going 5 mornings per week along with Reid, who will start in the 2 year old class next week. The classroom is mixed age 3-6  and this year she is one of the bigger kids, which she's very excited about. I've worked my schedule so that the girls will be at school in the mornings, I'll pick them up at 1130 and the three of us will have lunch and a little time together and then 3 days per week I'll go back into the office for a few hours.

I tried not to overwhelm them with extracurricular activities but they will still be busy: Reid and Harper will be together in Spanish. Reid moved on from the mom and tot class and will join Harper in the 3-5 class. Yesterday was her first time in it and she looked so tiny compared to the other kids. But she is so verbal and has been taking Spanish for 18 months, it was time to move on to the next step. Harper loves having her in class with her!  Harper will also go to hip-hop at a new studio and soccer on Saturday mornings. Should be a fun fall!
