AUGUST 22 - Ean's first day in Nursery
What a cute boy. I can't believe how grown up he is getting. We have been counting down the days until nursery. Mostly because he had become so restless with me in Young Womens. He would bounce from one young women to another going through their scripture bags and when he was done with that he would push a chair around the girls as they were listening to the lesson. And no matter what toys I brought to entertain it couldn't compare to the young women. The first day of nursery was very uneventful. He went into nursery barely even gave me a hug and off he was to play with the toys. The only moment of drama was when Court had to pull him to change a dirty diaper, he was so upset he had to leave.
AUGUST 30 - Isabel's first dance class
Wow! My girl is in dance. Not her first choice. She really wanted to do soccer but they don't have soccer for kids this young that we could find. So asked if she wanted to do dance (tap/ballet) as a second option and she seemed cool with that. The first day was a bit of a challenge. Izzy really struggles sometimes with new things and can be a bit shy. So I sat with her in the circle with all the other kids while the teacher went over the class. However, once they started to do some dance steps she did let me go over and sit with the rest of the parents. And as she danced she woul look over at me and give me a thumbs up as if to say am I ok. So I would return the thumbs up and she would be ok for few minutes before she asked for the thumbs up again. She really seems to be getting the hang of it and really having fun. She has said she wants to continue dance and do soccer as well. Way to be well rounded.
SEPTEMBER 7 - Isabel's first day of preschool
Well we signed up Izzy for Ms. Lorie's preschool. She has been so excited to start school. Making sure she had all the necessary supplies one would need as they off to school. So a week before we went to Walmart and got her pencils, paper, crayons you name it to go in her Jesse backpack she got from grandma and grandpa. Of course, she just totes the backpack back and forth as it really isn't need for preschool. But it makes her feel like a big kid. Her first day at preschool seem to go a bit better then dance. Mostly due to the fact that the kids got to play while the parents went over the class information. For the first part she seemed to be content playing by herself with all the baby dolls, but by the end of class she was playing with another little girl. When I went over to get her I asked about her friend and found out her name is Isabelle too just spelled different. It is kind of funny that is who she ended up with. I think it might also be that Isabelle is in her dance class as well. But I am not sure Izzy knew that. Day 2 was a bit more difficult. I think because she knew mommy couldn't go. She kept saying she didn't want to go. I tried to think of all the things I could do to make her feel comfortable and decided that she should decide what to wear. Of course she decided she wanted to dress like a jesse - the cowgirl. And instead of the costume (which she really wanted to wear) I talked her into wear an overall dress with her cowboy boots. And she took Jesse for show and tell. As I dropped her off she give me a big hug and off she went in without any problems. When I cam back to get her she was so excited. So she said all the kids loved Jesse and that she even got to show everyone her cowboy boots. She has been so excited about preschool ever since.
Wow, what a beautiful girl.
