WHPP First Day of School 2015

The boys are back in school at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Preschool (WHPP)! They will be in school Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 1 pm. This is the first time they are at the same school 4 days a week! 

LJ started in the 4s/ Pre-kindergarten class with Ms Leska and Ms Meredith, and Evan is in the 3s class with Ms Alison and Ms. Diane. We missed meet-the-teacher days (where kids get to go in with parents to see their rooms, meet teachers and other kids, get comfortable with room, etc) because we were in Idaho, so we headed into the first day of school without having met anyone or knowing who would be in their classes! 

LJ was very excited for school to start! He got dressed all by himself super quickly and kept saying he was ready to go! I was so happy to see him like this!! 

Evan, on the other hand, was a mess! He did not sleep well the night before (I think he was anxious), woke up too early, and then went back to sleep. So at 8:30 I went in to wake him up again and get him, and he was crying and saying he didn't want to go! He was so crazy! I was surprised as Evan is usually excited about school! 

Before heading to school, I attempted our 'first day of school picture'... and while LJ was great, Evan refused!! 
 He was crying, running, fighting us... Total crazy child! 


So I gave up and decided I'd have to try after school! Poor Evan- he was a total mess!! When we got to school, parked, and started walking in, LJ said, "Wait, this is our same school!" I said, "Yes, same school- just new teachers and a new school year/ class!" 
Evan immediately relaxed, smiled, and got so excited! He even said, "I can't wait Mom. I love Ms. Alison" (whom he's never met!). I think he was just so nervous it was a new school! 
LJ on the other hand shocked me and said, "Ugh! I don't like this school. I wanted a new school. This school is boring!" WHAT?!!! I didn't even know he knew the word 'boring'! I reminded him that his friend Thomas would be in his class and that he loves this school. He said he forgot about Thomas being in his class, smiled again, and said he would have fun! 

Whoa! What an unexpected roller coaster of emotions! BUT both boys had a wonderful first day, and their teachers all seem truly wonderful!!! Evan has 3 kids in his room from last year, and LJ has one (his really close friend Thomas!). 
I picked up two very happy boys from school, and got the picture I had been hoping for in the morning! Haha!

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

Image
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...
