Play Group

Just a quick milestone celebration.  Today this goofy girl went to her very first playgroup all on her own and loved it.

We decided that it might be good for Nora to spend some time with other kids and other adults this summer, so she’ll be going one day per week to a playgroup run by one of the preschool teachers from a local private school.  Today was the first day of playgroup and I couldn’t have been more proud of Nora.  She looked like such a big girl wearing her special backpack (that she picked out)

and carrying her lunch bag.  And when it was time for us to leave, she barely even gave us hugs before heading for the toys.  Honestly, to our complete surprise, I had a harder time with it than Nora did!  When I practically ran through the door to get her at two, the first thing she said was, “I had a great time!”  And as I buckled her into her carseat to go home, she was already saying that she missed her teacher.

What a big girl..how did that happen?

    Yeah for Nora! I’m so glad she had fun at the playgroup and liked the teacher. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine! 🙂

    You and Chris have made the right decision to send Nora to the one-day playgroup. You can see she is happy and doing well, and you are happy too! Have a wonderful week, and take care of yourself.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
