Introducing Presley! The princess ballerina. Here she is in her ballet clothes right before class last week. I didn't get to go watch her because my neighbor and I are taking turns carpooling the girls over. My week is this week so I can't wait to see what it's like. According to Jenny, Presley was a very attentive ballet student and was paying very close attention to every move the teacher made. When she came home, Presley was so excited. She showed me all her moves, floating back and forth around the room.
Check out those twinkle toes. I don't think I've ever seen baggy ballet shoes until now! Target had 3 sizes for all young girls; small, medium, and large. I couldn't get the smalls on PK so we went the next size up which is probably a size and a half too big. Oh well, she feels like a princess, that's all I could ask for.
Today was my first day teaching Presley's Joy School class. I'm a little rusty, but the kids kept encouraging me saying, "this is fun!" We are preparing for the big Valentine's Day Party on Friday. We are making heart-shaped pizzas and cupcakes with sprinkles. I think Presley had cupcakes on the brain because she was busy working on this drawing of a cupcake.
She even wrote out the word on the bottom. The letters don't have to be in order do they?
She was a good noticer today too! We are learning about observing and went on a nature walk to collect treasures. It was heaven for her and her little buddies to be able to dilly dally around instead of rush a walk.
As for the boys of the house, Charlie is letting me use the computer less and less. He is always grabbing for wires and pounding on keys. He's not nursing peacefully for long periods of time anymore. He's now a nursing snacker and is much more interested in finding the source of every little noise he hears.
Noah went on a field trip today to the great Boston Museum of Science. It was his first trip on a school bus. He was so thrilled he even remembered the bus driver's name! That's huge! He was real interested in bugs from this trip. Josh's love for science began with bugs. Noah mentioned he was grateful for bugs in his prayer last night. So cute.
