Our fun weekend

Friday started out with a Preschool conference for Kaylee. She is doing great. It was so fun to see her writing improvement from Sept, midyear and now. Her name started out with doodles in Sept, changed to large letters and “E” with many horizontal lines to a perfect capital lettering of her name! We are so proud of your progress Kaylee! She can name all her uppercase letters and 20 lowercase with her schoolteacher saying the ones she gets mixed up are totally normal and look similar flipped sideways or up and down like b,d, or u, n. She also has improved her hand – eye coordination greatly we could see that on her scissor cutting exercises over the year that marked her progress. She said that Kaylee is very social and makes friends easily, listens well and follows directions well. Good job again Kaylee! We already knew things were going pretty well at Preschool since she always wants to go there and mimics what Ms. Jessica is doing in class all the time at home. Our little budding teacher loves to ‘read’ us stories all the time.

Friday we had fun together. The weather was good and I took them to two different playgrounds and we had a picnic at one of the parks. Then we washed the car to which Levi was just amazed by. He was slightly scared and amazed. We did a goodwill run and I accidentally donated one of Levi’s shoes that fell on the floor he had kicked it off. So we are down a pair, they were not able to find it when I went back. Oh well!

Kaylee had a great time this weekend at the Princess thing at the community center. I will post photos as soon as I get them loaded...I had her all dressed up in her Little Mermaid outfit she got from her Grandparents for her birthday. She was excited to go, spend some girl time and not to have her brother there. When we got there they had some activities like princess themed stickers to put on a scrapbook page, castle foam frames with stickers and beaded necklaces/bracelets to make. She was so busy and happy doing those things that she ended up being the last little girl to have her nails painted and her hair done. She loved having someone do her nails the way she wanted with all those colors to chose from, she got a glitter butterfly tattoo. Then she got her hair curled and a blue hair extension put in. And the finale was a little runway show on a red carpet of all the little girls dressed up pretty. It was so cute! I will totally take her again next year!

Then she had a great playdate with a little girlfriend on Sunday. Then it was dreary and a little rainy and they had seemed a little stir crazy. I thought best if they play with the neighbor girls who turned out to be gone. Then out of desperation I rang the doorbell of a neighbor I know has kids who we never had met. They were so nice, their kids were great. They invited us in playing, chatting and dinner. It turned out to be a great night and I think we made some new friends. Now it will be our turn to have them over sometime soon! Kaylee woke up proclaiming she has to go back to her friend’s house and not to daycare today. I think she enjoyed herself, it’s going to be tough to keep her away.
