Our Brave Little Girl

We took Jordan to the doctor for a blood test this morning. In spite of her extreme energy, (almost literally!) bouncing off the walls the entire time we were at the doctor's office, she sat very still for the phlebotomist and didn't even flinch while he was inserting the needle. Nor did she react at all negatively the entire time!! When we were leaving his office, he commented on how brave she was. I think even he was surprised at how well she did.

Jordan's in school!

Jordan started "Pre-Kinder," or "pre-school," on Monday, and she did great! She's in a bilingual pre-school that's just a 5 minute drive from our home. Like most schools in Latin America, this one requires a uniform and, as you can see, she loves it (though they had to give her a size 6 because she's so big - we can blame Papa). The school calls itself "bilingual," but the truth is that Jordan's teacher speaks very little English. That's exactly what we want! Jordan's also the only "gringa" in her class, so now she'll finally be forced to USE her Spanish. (Lately, she's developed the habit of answering everyone in English, regardless of the language they speak. She understands both; shouldn't they?)

2030!!!

That's what Lindsay got for a composite score on her SAT!! Beside being a great score, it totally blew away her expectations. Needless to say, we are extremely happy for, and proud, of her.
