Thursday School

September 9th, 2010 by Mommy

Today is the first day of Thursday School. Emily woke up talking about it. She was quite excited. Julia looks a little apprehensive about the idea. It will be her first day going. Don’t let her face fool you she was excited too. She cried when she didn’t get to wear her backpack out the door to the car.

Drop-off went well. Emily is in a class of all girls. She will be making all new friends because none of the girls were in her class last year. After hanging her backpack she sat right down and started playing with a barn set. Julia is in a class with all boys, at least at this point. She helped me hang her backpack and then sat down to play with play-dough. She didn’t have any tears as I said goodbye, so I have high hopes that she will adjust to her new class well.

Pick-up came a little too soon for the mama. I had decided to get Emily first and then take her to get Julia. This way Emily could see her old teacher Ms. Melanie. When I got to Emily’s room, Julia was there. During lunch time Julia spotted Emily and was sad that she couldn’t be with her. So, they allowed Julia to hang in the room with Emily after lunch. Too sweet! Emily had a blast and was quietly playing with puzzles when I came to get her. We did our visiting on the way out and Emily enjoyed telling me of her day. Julia did great in her class and participated with the other kids. We will see what she thinks of it next week.

As a side note, Mama loved her three hours too.

A Special Reading Spot

September 5th, 2010 by Mommy

This reading spot makes me laugh every time Julia does it. First step, she takes the bin off the shelf and empties it. Then, she climbs in the bin, but doesn’t sit down until she has selected a book. Lastly, she sits and reads the book. If she wants to read another book, she just stands up and picks one off the shelf. I don’t know if it is intentional or accidental that she puts the bin right next to the book shelf.

Wanting to be like Sister

September 2nd, 2010 by Mommy

Julia has been interested in getting in Emily’s booster seat lately. She can climb in all by herself. This particular day she climbed in and asked to play with the puzzle she saw Emily playing with last. She is studding it so seriously. She is growing up quick these days.

Mama’s Helpers

September 1st, 2010 by Mommy

When it is time for Mommy to vacuum, we have to clean up the floor of toys and other things. Both girls are interested these days in helping. They use their kid sized vacuum to make some noise and imitate me. They also are good sports about helping with the clean up. Lately, they have discovered that they can sit like princesses in their chairs on the couch. It is cute and keeps them out of the way.
