Garen's First Day at the CDC

Garen was so excited to go back to school that he woke up at 6am, he came in my room all dressed and ready to go to school. I thought 8:30 school was going to be to early-apparently not. He was very excited to see his old teachers and some of his old friends.

End of the Year Pincnic for CDC preschool

We went to Garen's family picnic this morning. The Child Development Center has been so good for him this year and we have seen so much progress! He'll get to go again in the Fall.

Garen was to busy running around with his friends I only got this picture of Sophie doing bubbles at the picnic.

Preschool Pool Party

Today was our end of the year pool party. The kids just swam and had fun together. Garen had a blast. I am now ready for Summer Break!!!

Preschool Graduation

Preschool graduation was on Monday. I will miss all my little cuties! I had 17 preschoolers on stage and it got a little crazy but we made it through. Garen was Mr. Class clown. He was acting silly and saying strange things in the microphone like, "I want to be a pencil when I grow up" and instead of saying his part about butterflies he said "butterflies have nothing" followed by "boo!". At one point he burped really loud and continued to do the actions to each song incorrectly. All you can do is look at that spunky little boy and laugh.

Andy took pictures and videoed for me, since my hands were kinda busy with a stage full of kids. Garen is on the far right side being as silly as always-

Garen at Preschool

Garen loves preschool and especially all his friends in the preschool. Sometimes I feel bad that he won't be joining them in Kindergarten next year, but I know giving him one more year before sending to a full day of school will be best for him. Then he will be one of the oldest in his grade instead of one of the youngest.
He's always so focused on his work he can't look up at me-

Our classroom live butterflies- They have been really facinating to watch thier whole life cycle.

Preschool Field Trip to the Fire Station

I took the preschoolers to the Fire Station on Monday for our week of Community Helpers. They got to check out all the neat tools, climb through the truck, shake hand with the firefighter in all his gear including the mask, and watch sparky the dog talk about fire safety.

Dino Field Trip

I got to take my two preschool classes to the dinosaur museum today. It was a lot of fun to see them so excited about the dinosaurs and other animals! Garen and Sophie had a great time. We ended with dinosaur fruit snacks and a game off dino, dino, T-rex (duck, duck, goose)

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

We've been celebrating Dr. Seuss this week. We made ooey gooey blue goo (Fox in Socks) and painted with our feet (The Foot Book), ate fish and pink ink (One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish) ate candy green eggs and ham, made Grinch doorknob hanger, made tall Cat in the Hat hats, green eggs and ham placemats, ate real green eggs and ham, and made wockets for our pockets. Dr. Seuss stuff is so much fun!

Garen's Field Trip

I went with Garen and his CDC preschool class on a field trip to the Dinosaur museum. It was Garen's first time ever on a bus of any kind. He was a bit nervous when we got on but really liked it. He loved the dinosaurs. Sophie on the other hand spent the whole time in my arms covering her eyes and saying "owweee".

This is what happens...

Christmas party at the CDC

I got to go hang out with Garen at his other preschool today and join in on his pajama Christmas party. It was fun to see him with his friends and all excited to make his reindeer cookie, his hot cocoa, and his reindeer food. Sophie had a good time too. The teachers were nice enough to let her join in on snack and even gave her a goodie bag.
