Well, we are all getting into the preschool routine around here. Aidan and Alanna are really enjoying school, and they sometimes get disappointed when I inform them that it isn't a school day. According to his teachers, Aidan is really opening up at school and getting involved in all the activities....
Michael's first day of preschool was great! I have to find out from the morning crew tomorrow how he did during the first half of the day, but the afternoon crew said that he slept from 2:30 to 3:15, didn't want his snack, but had made friends with a couple of boys, who he seemed to prefer as...
Joy! The Princess and I dropped SkyWalker off at preschool this morning and he was the first one in the room and barely looked back. He wanted to show the teacher the alligator he made at the library storytime yesterday. I don't know if that was it or if something just clicked with him, but whatever...
Vader took SkyWalker to preschool this morning* and when I called later to see how he did at drop-off, Vader said he was absolutely fine. Not sure if our definitions of fine were the same I asked if he clung to him and asked him not to go and had to pulled off by the teacher. Nope. He sat at the...
This preschool thing is killing me. I made lunch last night, we ate as soon as we got home, the Princess pooped, and then she went to nap. There is no reason why she should be screaming her head off just an hour later. This. Sucks. In addition to that, Vader thinks that if SkyWalker napped during...
My proud potty trainer in June... We love to doodle... First day of school...yes, Alanna wore a bow that did not match her dress, and no, Darby and Buddy did not actually go to school (they just rode in the car.)
SkyWalker turned 4 years old today. I can't quite believe it has been that long. We went to preschool and although I still got the clinging to me hug and the request that I not leave and the sad face, there was no crying. The Princess and I went back less than an hour after we left so we could share...
Seeing as how we started our family with twins, I have no idea what it is like to only have one child to care for...except for the occasional trip to the grocery store. Wow, what a different world! Today Emory and I had time to just hang out together; we ran a couple of errands, and then came home...
I am completely lacking in focus right now. I intended on making a bookmark on discipline books or doing some other work-related work but I just can't focus. I am tired beyond tired and the only thing I can attribute it to is spending all day at the hospital yesterday. And thinking about all the...
SkyWalker had his "first" day of preschool on Monday. The Princess and I were right down the hall, but I didn't tell him that. He was only there for an hour but he did pretty good. He talked to his teacher and did what he was supposed to do and told my mom that he made friends with a couple of kids....
If you didn't know I was a preschool teacher for four years before Sienna was born and loved being in the classroom. So I was so excited when Sienna was old enough to start going to a Mommy and Me class. Which would combine my love for my little girl and I would get to spend time in a classroom....
At bedtime last night, everyone was excited about school. Since then, attitudes about school have fluctuated greatly...particularly with Aidan. He cried this morning shortly after he woke up. He seemed pretty stressed about this tremendous change in his routine, but with some hugs and soothing...
Preschool starts tomorrow. I think I'm ready.
Phew, it has been a crazy fun couple of weeks! We FINALLY got to go to the Outerbanks...a MUCH anticipated event around here. Aidan started asking daily if we could go to the beach sometime in July, so we started a countdown sticker chart. We had a great week and beautiful weather with the exception...
It has been a busy week; life goes on. (Funny how that happens, but it does.) Our kids have all had a great week at school. Eldest Son came skipping off the bus Thursday afternoon, proclaiming with glee, "Second Grade is WAY better than First!" He seems to find the math more interesting, and just...
We had our playdate at the preschool today. Vader stayed home with the Princess so I could concentrate on SkyWalker. That had been our plan when we thought she was going to be recovering from surgery and we decided to just stick with it. Half of the class met first and then the other half met. It...
September has been a busy month already! I had a great time at the SPPA meeting on Tuesday. Not only did I get to pop in on the board meeting, but we had a really great speaker - Bruce Hudson. He's a well-known and very successful photographer in the Seattle area. He's got some fabulous ideas and...
I've been counting down the days...no, the minutes...until Kaelin's first day of school. And it is finally here. :D Today was more of a "get to know your new school" kind of day, though. I stayed with her for the hour we hung out in the classroom, and I'm happy to say the Littlest Talele did really...
wow, today was a big milestone for our family...it was the first day that both girls were in school at the same time. the little princess started first grade and the munchkin started preschool! the princess made us proud by just walking into her class behind her teacher. we were a little worried...
Because of Aidan and Alanna's preschool schedule, we are switching our gym class to Thursday mornings. We got a bonus session this week, but this morning Aidan has a cold and wasn't able to participate. Before we went to the gym, he seemed a little happy that he'd get to stay out with me. Alanna...
