Getting ready for preschool.

We had a fun week getting ready for the girls first day of preschool. They always start on a Friday so we had all week to get our to do list checked off. Monday night Chris and I went to Open House at Fielder Road to meet the girls teachers and see the classrooms. Emma is going to be in the Little Duck class and she is the youngest child. She is only 19 months and all of the other kids are 20-24 months old. (I bet she is taller than most though!) Her teachers are so nice: Miss Kathy and Miss Valerie. Ryan is going to be in the Superstars class this year. I was happy to see some moms that I know from last year at the Open House. Ry will have some friends from last year in her class again! Her teachers this year are: Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Haynes. Then, on Tuesday morning the girls got to go up to school and meet their teachers and see their classrooms. Ryan stopped by her old classroom to see Miss Nelda and Miss Erica and they were so happy to see her and give her a hug. They told Ryan that they had been bragging to her new teachers about how smart and advanced she was. So sweet. When we were in Ryan's new classroom she sat on the floor with Mrs. Haynes and decided to show off a little. She saw the word 'Superstars' on the bulletin board and all of a sudden started going through each letter saying what it was, the sound it makes and a word that starts with it. Mrs. Haynes was so impressed, so naturally Ry kept going and spelled the whole word! Thank you Letter Factory! I think this is going to be a great year for Ryan! Emma was a little timid at first but she held on tight to Zeebee and checked everything out in her new classroom. I am a little nervous about sending her so I hope she enjoys it. The rest of the week we shopped for Emma a back pack and Ryan a new lunch box, Ryan got a haircut and we met the Hackbarts for a pre-back to school dinner on Thursday. It was a fun filled last week of summer!

Ryan immediately went for the rocker
and the baby dolls in the Superstars classroom.

So glad I got to come along,
I went in to work later.

Emma really liked the easel in Ryan's classroom!

We love the play scape!

A new Great Clips opened up by our house
and they were having a $4.99 haircut special..
I wanted to get Ryan's hair trimmed because
I thought it would help decrease tangles.
