First day of school

Elise, Geetangeli and Naomi on their first day of Kindergarten!

Kindergarten

Kindergarten has gone incredibly well. Noami seems to enjoy going to school and has learnt so much already. Lots of new songs, rhymes and games. She also says the Pledge of Alligence and sings the This Old Flag. Lots of the songs have hand gestures, it is so cute to watch! Naomi loves Mrs Vo, who seems like such a fair and caring person.

In the mornings Naomi gets her back pack on and Paige has to take hers too. They have adjusted well to the new daycare and seem to be having fun and made friends.

Kindergartern here we come

After a very quick, stressful summer (I feel like my whole summer was spent searching for childcare) we made it to Kindergarten! Naomi was placed in the afternoon program and we seem to have made this work since the girls are at a neighborhood daycare and Naomi can walk to school with Geetangali and her mom. The first week of school I worked a reduced schedule and was involved in the drop off and pick up. Noami did fantastic! She was a little nervous on her first day, but no tears or fussing, she did great! I was very impressed and surprised! She likes her teacher, Mrs Vo and made friends very quickly. The kinders got dug in right away and are learning lower case letters. All is good and I can breathe again.

Paige talks!

Paige woke up the other night in he middle of the night and said "Mama I'm tired" i told her to go back to sleep.

Then a couple of nights later she woke up at about 4am, and said "mama, sun" and was rubbing her eyes. She was complaining the sun was in her eyes, (she does it in the car all the time) and the sun wasn't even up!

Butterflys

For Naomi's birthday she got a butterfly kit from Adam. This is all very exciting since she has helped with Adams butterfly experience. So we ordered the caterpillars, and watched them turn into chrysalis. During this stage they moved into my room b/c Naomi didn't like how they looked, she said they were scary??? Then all 5 butterflies hatched! we have 5 painted ladies living in a butterfly habitat. Naomi is desperate to "hold" them and has named them "Naomi, Adam, Paige, Sean and Hillary!" cute!

Paige turned 2!

Yesterday was Paige's birthday, I cannot believe it has been 2 years already! The time has gone fast which we always say, but phew, that was fast! We did not plan a big celebration, Barry and i took Naomi and Paige to pizza and games at a local joint, and spent the evening together. i didn't even have a cake, which I felt bad about, but we will have friends over for a BBQ and party and a cake then! thankfully Paige was pretty clueless about her birthday and so the expectation was low! Naomi pointed out that Paige was only allowed 3 presents because that is how many she had! Score keeper!

Paige Peed!

As noted in previous blogging Paige is pretty obsessed with the toilet and going potty. On Sunday she was sitting on my lap and peed a little bit, and said "potty" and held it. We rushed to the toilet, mainly to avoided getting even wetter, and she sat for a minute and did a massive pee! Yippee, just before she turns 2!! She was very surprised and was looking around thinking "Where is that coming from?" I must point out this was her only successful time actually peeing in the toilet, for now there is a lot of sitting and not much action, but this is a start!
