Saku got a spot in our neighborhood school, which is 0.8 miles from our rental house. This was a huge blessing as the school placement system is messed up for lack of better words. He wants to bike to school; so far, we have driven from our hotel into the neighborhood and he bikes for a bit. He has a bike lock. This is a big deal for a six year old!
Eerika is very bitter that she doesn't get to go to Kindergarten. Today she informed me "It is not fair that I wasn't born at the same time as Saku. I want to be at school all day". We are looking into preschool options for her.
Aleksi has been sick. He is his happy, very snotty self during the day. He crawls and cruises along furniture everywhere. Evenings are a bit rough. Maybe he is boycotting the fact that he has to sleep in the bathroom...
We will be in our extended stay hotel until September 1st. After four days, Saku declared that he was a bit tired of just the two rooms. We have two doubles beds; Saku and Eerika share one and Troy and I share one. We haven't done such cozy little bed since our first year of marriage.
There are so many parks, trails everywhere. We see people biking and running.
We also found a great library, which has toys in addition to just books, so we have been there three times in seven days. We need somewhere to go to escape the walls of the hotel room.
We have met many friendly new people. It will take a while to build friendships, but for now, I am grateful for friendly and thoughtful people around us.
We had some excitement with a Tornado Warning, but nothing happened. It has rained every evening and night, and we are learning that Colorado weather can be quite unpredictable. The day time temperatures have been in the 70s-80s, which we love
