Preschool togetherness!

Addison and Lucas go to preschool together. I love it because I get a little break while they are in school together and they love it because it is another thing they get to do together.
Addison is in PreK. She is one of the older kids and is doing just great in school. She loves it and comes home with so many great comments on her school work. I have started working with her on her reading skills and she has come a long way in the past few months with sounding out words and reading her BOB books (with a little help). Her writing has gotten so much better too.
Lucas is one of the youngest and it is taking him some extra time to learn to listen and not be so loud (his teachers most often remark). He is a smart little boy but just a little too loud I guess. We are working with him on his writing skills but he is already a whiz when it comes to his letters, sounds, numbers, rhyming, colors, shapes, address, phone number and so much more.
I just love that they are so close in age and can share some of their preschool time together!!!
Here are a few pictures from their first day of school.






Addison is 5!

On September 2nd we became parents of a 5 year old. It took me awhile to accept that our little girl was 5 years old. She has turned into such a fun, creative, spunky little girl and I just could not believe she was not a toddler anymore.
How are we going to send her off to Kindergarten next year.....


Her art themed party was a great success. Of course the days leading up the party she kept telling me she was having a princess party and that all her friends were going to come in their princess dresses. The girl can't make up her mind but she did end up enjoying her party even without the princess dresses.
