School Time

Elli started her last year of preschool. Can you believe it? I certainly can't.  My little girl is so close to starting elementary school.  This year Elli will go to school from 9-12 five days a week. She is so excited about it.  She is really learning a lot with a focus on getting ready for Kindergarten. I am very excited to see what the year brings!  She has only been one week and has already talked about letter sounds, brought home a weekly reader, and done some awesome crafts.

Even more shocking?!? Jackson is starting preschool. This is a milestone for me - I am not the mom of two preschoolers. Not gonna lie - it makes me feel old.  To see Jackson walking in with his little book bag, it almost breaks my heart. Don't get me wrong, I"m looking forward to those two mornings a week when I can clean my house or grocery shop in peace. But to know that he is "big" enough to go to preschool, well, I can't believe it. He is LOVING it there because there is a plethora of "big trucks" to play with.

PS - note that it was so hectic getting ready for school I put the wrong year on Jackson's sign. Hahaha!

These two kiddos - they run me ragged but they make my heart smile.

My First Parent/Teacher Conference

I had my first parent/teacher conference this week as the parent instead of the teacher.  Elli got good reports from her wonderful preschool teacher!  We love preschool and are so pleased with the program.  Elli may try to be a teacher herself since the only negative we received is that Elli can sometimes try to take on the role of the teacher.  (Hmm...I wonder where she gets that bossiness from?!?!)  I was proud of her report so I decided to give her a bit of ice cream with sprinkles to celebrate.

So proud of you Elli!!
