Playschool - March 2012

Keira's second official day of playschool: Cindi took Keira and Alara together. Keira was rather talkative about it when she got home. She said that they played doctor and helped fix two cats and two dogs. She played hide and seek with the animal toys and put them in cages and covered them in rice to hide them. She brought home a purple popcorn art project that she glued to paper. She told me exactly what they had for snacks, honey bear crackers, bananas, and juice. She said Alara doesn't like bananas and that she didn't want any either. And she said she showed Mrs. Rogers how she does a forward roll.
I considered letting Ella go to playschool too because Jane Rogers invited her to come since she is still 5. But I thought it would be best for Keira to have her own thing and I'm really glad I did.  I second guessed myself when I dropped Keira off the first day and Jane said nicely that she wished they could have Ella too. Ella was a bit sad she couldn't go in because she had a great time playing on orientation day. But I hope to spend some quality time with her hanging out at Third Place Books or going to Dick's to get burgers in the future.

Keira's first day of playschool - March 2012

Orientation day for parents and play time for kids was yesterday at Kellogg Middle School.  It's still a program run through Shorecrest High School and is still under the direction of Jane Rogers but is at Kellogg because the high school is under construction.

Laugh - March 2012

This past weekend was a whirlwind! The girls had Abbi over Thursday night and then we went to see the Lorax on Friday with Maddie. Then the girls went to grandma's and grandpa's for a sleepover while mom and dad went to the Temple and dinner. The girls had a great time. Saturday grandma took them to see the Secret Life of Arietty while grammy kept grandpa company. The girls got a case of the sillies and wouldn't stop giggling as they bounced back and forth in their chairs. I love their contagious laughter!

Just Dancing - March 2012

Treated last night and tonight to a private ballet princess performance in the dark with me and Travis as the spot-lighters (used flashlights). Also recorded the girls last night while they played Just Dance.  We watched it during dinner and Ella gave me a shout out and totally tried to DJ the video.

Keira swim and snow - March 2012

It snowed on our way to swim class yesterday. During free play Keira was dipping her whole head over and over. She's making great progress. Her class got to go in the lazy river together and teacher Adam clipped their life jackets together so they were like a train.
