Lia's Busy Week

Although Lia's preschool began a few weeks ago, we have been waiting for the first week in October to start her gymnastics class and swim lessons.  We decided to sign her up at the YMCA after doing some research and learning that this was the most affordable way to take both of these classes at the same time.  Now Lia has an activity every day of the week:  Preschool on Monday, gymnastics on Tuesday, preschool on Wednesday, gymnastics on Thursday, preschool on Friday, swim lessons on Saturday, and church/primary on Sunday.  I'm beginning to wonder what on earth I did to myself by creating such a busy schedule for her.  After all, she IS only four years old!  Oh well.  If I end up detesting this schedule, I figure that I can always change things after this session wraps up the beginning of November.  Lia, on the other hand, is already loving all of these activities!  Although she is no longer an only child, she essentially still is as Logan is not old enough to really interact and play with her.  So, these classes are helping to meet many of her social, physical, and creative needs.  Here are some photos of the week!
