Georgiana started school last month! She has Mrs. Nichols for her Reception teacher. Georgie has settled into school really well and enjoys going. She's also really responsible every morning - she gets herself dressed, with the clothes that she has laid out the night before, puts away her pajamas, makes her bed, and most of the time remembers to tidy her room. Then she comes downstairs and - most mornings - cheerfully does a job, such as emptying the dishwasher or setting the table or folding clothes. One morning she even sorted through my laundry and put it into darks, lights and whites. Tim has been gone during the week for the past five weeks, and he left the children with instructions to help me around the house, so Georgie has taken it upon herself to help me with the dishes after dinner. As she sees everyone finishing their dinner, she'll say, 'I want to wash up, I want to wash up.' And she'll park herself in front of the sink, fill the sink up with freezing cold water, and try to rinse dishes to put into the dishwasher. Above are some pictures of her in the outfit which she wore on the first day of school. It's a french pinafore that I couldn't resist buying - she looks like a little Parisian girl from the 1940's!
