WHPP Meet the Teachers

Friday morning was an Open House as the boys' preschool, Westlake Hills Preabyterian Preschool (WHPP). It is a time when you can go hang out in the classroom, meet their new teacher and teacher-assistant, and also meet other kids and parents that will be in their class.  The boys will be attending preschool here on MWFs from 9am to 1 pm. This is the school LJ attended last year also- and he had a great experience! In fact, he kept asking if we would get to see Ms. Janice, and was so diaapponted when I said no! But then he got very excited when I told him his friend Thomas would be in his class, and he said, "Thomas! That will be awesome! I haven't seen him in years, right mom?! I love Thomas... and Thomas loves me!" Haha! I agreed with all of it! 

There was a crazy burst of rain right before we went, but it was just ending as when arrived at their school. And the rain left us a beautiful rainbow to admire quickly before heading in to the open house! The boys talked about the rainbow all day!

First we went to LJ's new class. And LJ's best friend from last year, Thomas, was already in the room playing. They were both so excited to see each other, and they got straight to playing without skipping a beat!
Evan also got busy at a water table while Barrett and I got to talk to his new teachers, Ms. Connie and Ms. Mary, and some other parents. LJ has one other friend from last year in his class, Benji. Overall, he has 11 kids in his class right now (could have up to 12), with 6 boys and 5 girls. 
Then we headed down the hall to Evan's new classroom with his teachers Ms. Michelle and Ms. Illiana. Ms. Michelle is from El Paso too (although we didn't know her) - such a small world!  Her family is still there too so she said she travels there all the time (in fact was headed there for Labor Day!). 

Evan warmed up to both his teachers quickly! 
Evan's class has 10 students, and I think the ratio is 6 boys and 4 girls! Always more boys it seems!

I really liked both classes and sets of teachers, and I am hopeful and looking forward to another great year at WHPP!  Their first day here will be next Wednesday since Monday is Labor Day.

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
