Lana's First Dance Class

She's been talking about how she gets to go to "dancy classes" for a while now, she's very excited to dance just like Strawberry Shortcake and Plum Pudding do in her book. We didn't know what to expect going in there but I was quite impressed with the dance rooms. Miss Sheri had us sit around a colored parachute while she went over what to expect from our kids and how to encourage them to do the tasks. Lana sat in my lap for the first 20mins of it, it was pretty overwhelming - all these strangers singing and dancing! After that she was totally into it, hopping like a bunny, marching like a soldier, doing log rolls and bear walks.

I was so proud of my little girl, you could tell she was nervous but she pushed through it and really enjoyed herself :D

I need to find her a cute bodysuit/tutu!!

Mommy's Been Kicked Out...

We were watching Survivor when Daddy decided to go to bed early. After a couple of minutes she told me she wanted to give him a good night kiss, I went to go check on them and this is what I found.

Seeing as though I still have my cough I think I'll sleep upstairs so that these two can have a nice sleep together and my coughing won't disrupt any sleeps :)

A Photo

Christie (Lana's FABULOUS dayhome lady) sent me this picture.



How can you not fall in love with her?!!?



*video* What Did Mommy do Today?

Numbers

This guy is learning his forties, fifties, sixties, one hundreds and one hundred and tens! How? Not by activity books but by reading the speed signs! He mixes up his 8's and 6's every now and then but he's getting SO good!!

I'm proud of my little man <3

*video* Ohhh Lana

*video* I always wondered

... how he comes home with SO MUCH sand in his hair. After watching him at the school playground, it all makes sense!

Monkey Robbie

This makes me giggle, I remember doing this in doorways when I was a young whippersnapper.

My Beautiful Kids

God love 'em.

Jurassic Forest *videos*

My son has now decided he wants to be a Paleontologist when he grows up. We spent AN HOUR in the sand pits while he "dug" for dinosaur bones, he was so into it.

Now if only he could say Paleontologist!! hehe.

I've got oodles of photos and videos so I'll do separate posts. ENJOY!!

Jurassic Forest *Photos*

While the videos upload, here's some photos!

We could have stayed there all day, he LOVED dusting the sand off to find some more bones!

While RW was playing Paleontologist Lana and I had a mini photo shoot. Surprisingly, I got some smiles out of her!!

Lana took this one of me... I'm impressed!

She melts my heart with that smile.

RW took this picture. His fav dino - Pteranadon

Grabbing some grub in Gibbons. RW playing photographer.

Kindergarten

Well... here I am. Alone (well technically I've got two black labs, but they're snoozing so they don't count :P). At my desk. Thinking about how I got to this point in time. My little man is off in Kindergarten and my little girl is at the day home *insert sigh* I don't know how I feel about this.


Anyways, it gives me a chance to blog and semi-catch up on our life. After this post I'm off to snuggle with Baby Charlize!


RW had his first full day of Kindergarten on Friday. It sounds like he had a great time, the highlight of his day was finding out that every Friday they do the chicken dance! He discovered that his buddy from preschool, Isaiah, is in Kindergarten C which runs the same time his class does - just in a different room. So during his two recesses he's out messing around with him!


Check out these photos:

Mrs. Esser sent this home for us. It made me all teary eyed... what a thoughtful teacher!!


We went to the parent meet 'n' greet and we got the low down on what to expect throughout the year and the different themes each month. I signed up to be the on the scrapbook committee and to help with the class website. It kills me that I can't sit out front of the classroom and peek in and see what my little man is up to (in fact, we have to wait in the main lobby and Mrs. Esser brings the kids to us at the end of the day) so working on the scrapbooks I get to see all the crafts that they're doing & working on the website will give me a direct line to the teacher so that I can be in the loop... Dang, I wish I was qualified to be a teachers aide. LOL!


Little Lana is doing amazing. She brings a tear to my eye every morning when she climbs into bed with me, kisses me and says "I love you Mommy". This weekend we got her her first pair of figure skates!! These days they actually put the skates in a little oven, heat them up and then strap them onto the child's foot so that the skate molds to their foot! My little girl looks.... like a little girl. Walking around in her white leather skates, pulling a fancy skating bag and pink gloves.
