Rowan's Summer 2.5

Rowan has also had an eventful summer.  She too took some swimming lessons.  We were going to wait till next summer, but there was an opening right after Liam's lesson, so we let her try it out, and she really loved it.  Mostly it was just getting her used to the water, but she did pretty well for only being 2.5.  She has grown up so much this summer, she really is blossoming into a wonderful sweet girl.  She wants so much to keep up with Liam, she often seems like she is more like 4.5 rather than 2.5.  We get so many comments on how advanced her verbal skills are too.  We have been talking about her going to school all summer, and she has been so excited to go.  Last week we went to meet her new teacher Miss Marjan.  She loves it at night when I tell her the 'story' that she is going to go to school and meet her teacher, and meet some new friends.  She says 'tell the story again'.  So I repeat it a few times, and she is just grinning ear to ear!  Speaking of bed time, a few weeks ago, we changed her bed to a toddler bed.  She has been ready for one for a long time, but we were concerned about her staying in her bed and climbing on things....but thankfully, that has not been an issue at all.  For the most part she will stay in her bed once we tuck her in.  Anyway, I wanted to write a little bit about her summer before I go pick her up from her very first day of Pre-School!
