First day of Littles Preschool

Elle had her first day of Preschool today and SHE LOVES IT! To accommodate the insane prices of preschool a few of us created a preschool co-op where we rotate houses to teach the preschool. There are 5 children and they are all within 4 months of each other, which is really nice.

 The backpack was a little too heavy for Elle.

In the backpack, which also rotates homes, contains all of the preschool supplies.

 **Marne (another mom in the group) made our FANTASTIC tri-board that will rotate homes and I made the seat mats, which will also rotate homes (in order to keep our preschool uniformed). This is used for 'circle time' where the lesson, etc is taught for the day! I will tell you more about it as things move along and we figure out what is working and what isn't. So far I think it is WONDERFUL! And I couldn't be happier.

Elle says...Girlfriends

We came home from the park this morning and Elle said a prayer for her lunch and it went something like this:

"...thanks for the park, and my girlfriends at the park today.." 

I love that her little friends are her 'girlfriends'

Elle says....Costco

Elle is becoming more vocal these days and the other day while we were moving the car Elle said....

Elle: Mom, buckle up right now, let's go.

Me: Okay, where are we going?

Elle: Costco.

Me: Okay, what do we need at Costco?

Elle: Um...chicken....and....Diet Coke! And if you are good, you can have a hot dog!

Apparently the only time we use the car is to go to Costco. If Elle is good after we get done, she gets a hot dog.

she's a dancing queen

Today Elle had her first dance class and I am happy to report that she LOVED it! Below are a few pictures from class.
