Frogging the kitty
Well this blue work in progress is a hat for Miss Zoe, after meeting her teacher yesterday we brought her along to the yarn store for her choice of yarn to knit a hat. She's really into pink & purple but she didn't find the perfect combo of those two colors in the soft yarns we saw. I think seeing a picture of Tali (a new "friend" she never met!) wearing a blue hat influenced her choice just a teensy weensy bit.
We got Debbie Bliss alpaca silk yarn and it is like buttah, oh SO lovely to knit with. As usual I just casted on and started the project, I was just about to start the decreases when I thought it might be smart to try it it on the recipient's head. LOL! She was sleeping when I did most of the knitting, well now I get to frog it and start over so it will actually fit for the whole season. teehee! I'll never learn. ;)

We got to meet our daughter's teacher yesterday and it was a great meeting, the 10 minutes lasted a half hour and we enjoyed every single minute of it. Why? Because Zoe is doing so well, that's what makes it so fun. Her integration to school has been passed with success, never has she been trouble in the classroom though she does love to talk. LOL! I wonder where she gets that from... 
We got to learn how Zoe is proud to help a non-french speaking friend at school. She's a chinese girl that has only been in the country for a few weeks prior to school, apparently Zoe tells her words and her friend repeats them as best as she can. Zoe is always like a ray of sunshine at school, eager to learn, always in a happy mood and just a pleasure to be around. Aaawww! It sure felt great to hear all those things about our oldest, the teacher said how our daughter had that special twinkle in her eyes, she knows that whatever Zoe does in life she'll go far. It felt good to see that yes, we might not be conventional parents or whatever, we are doing somethings right. :) Well the only thing she needs ot work on is the relaxing period of the day. LOL! Not a surprise to us as it has always been something she has trouble with, when you are a ball of energy, you just don't relax you are either wide awake or sleeping, no in-betweens. LOL! Anyway, it was a lot less stressful than I thought and made us feel that our kid was in great hands at school, now the teacher is eager to get Lucas in her class.... in two years. LOL!
So that's about it for today, wishing everyone a safe weekend
