On Tuesday, the girls started their last year of preschool. They are at a new school this year, as their old school shut down. I was upset because it was the same school I went to and I would have loved for all of my kids to have been able to graduate from there. But...I think I like their new school even better! It is much bigger and they have separate music and PE classes along with the regular preschool program. They also have a large art room that the kid can sign themselves into during free play to work on larger art projects that they wouldn't be able to do in a regular class. They also offer Spanish. To offset a little of the cost, I work in the classroom 2 days a month. Wednesday was my 1st day and it was really fun getting to watch the girls interact with their new friends and really get to see what goes on during the day. The classroom got a fish and the kids voted on the name. Natalie's suggestion won the vote. The new fish's name is Blueberry (which also happens to be the name of Natalie's teddy bear).
On Wednesday evening, the girls went to a Stuffed Animal Slumber Party at the library. They wore their pajamas and took their stuffed animal to the library. They got to hear bedtime stories and make a picture frame. Then they tucked their animals in and left the picture frames there. We went back today to pick up the animals and see what they had been up to during the night. Natalies picture frame had a picture of her teddy bear (Blueberry) playing on the computer in it and Rebecca's frame had a picture of her puppy (Bubblegum) playing candyland. They even had a computer set up with a video of what had gone on overnight. It was so cute. The girls were amazed that their animals "came to life" during the night and kept questioning me on how this was possible.
That slumber party is the cutest idea ever!
