Jilly started pre-school today! She will be attending Tues/Thurs afternoons for a few hours at a Lutheran church near us. It is supposed to be a great program and is well established. Most importantly, it will be fun! Jillian's class is at eight kids (two teachers) with two spots still open. Six of the kids are sweet little princess-lovin' girls! There is even a Lillian in her class (poor teacher - also has another Lily and Lillian in other sessions) so that may be a little confusing. They try to play outside a lot and have a big sand pit, a few slides, lots of bikes & scooters and a little playhouse. She was a little apprehensive today and seemed sad afterwards but she said she wants to go back tomorrow alone - all the parents there today had an influence on the kids I'm sure. We think she will warm up and love it in the next couple of weeks because she sure talked about it a lot afterwards. Here she is with her big girl backpack on!
Here's a couple of shots and Jilly & Paul hanging out. Paul loves hair, especially his sister's, and he also covets her frog lovey and coos at it.
Check out this handsome man! Paul is doing great, he realized a while ago that rolling consecutively could get him somwhere and really enjoys that now. Jillian never rolled to a destination so it's kind of funny to me! The first time he rolled across a big blanket and onto his playmat, then turned 180 degrees on his belly and smiled like "look at me, mom!" He started some real food and so far hates peas (grainy texture?), is ok with beans and carrots, and of course loves sweet potatoes! He loves to bonk faces with you and will chuckle (he doesn't giggle, he chuckles!) and thinks my earrings are pretty cool playthings.
After that handsome photo, here is a funny one of Paul 1st thing in the morning that made me laugh!
so glad that jilly liked pre-school. Fin was just as excited to get a big boy backpack. Fin to this day still hates peas, which is totally cool with me becuase i hate peas. pea pods we both like...it's the texture i think too.
ReplyDeleteanyway, i love the photos. paul is so cute and you could just eat up those cheeks. Jilly is too cute for her own good. the little guys will be after her soon...i know Fin is:)
Yay for preschool!! Glad to hear that Jillian liked it. Sydney starts next week so hopefully we have a similar experience. I have been counting down the days until she starts but now that it is getting closer I am a little sad to see her go. They are just growing up too fast!! Love the pics of Paul.
ReplyDeleteJilly looks adorable all ready for preschool. I love the picture of Paul and her with the frog--she looks like she has false eyelashes! What a sweet, pretty little girl.
ReplyDeleteWow, Jillian looks sooo pretty and grown up! It's kinda sad how fast they grow up- it seems like she was just Paul's age and now all the sudden preschool??!! I love Paul's big eyes. He is very cute- love the morning picture too.
ReplyDeleteJilly looks so cute for her first day of preschool. Oh, the stories she'll come home and tell! I love Paul's boo boo face - it made me laugh. See you this weekend.
