charlie’s preschool had an open house this week and I was so excited to go and have charlie show us around. I emailed bill the week prior and he worked with his secretary to move around his clinic calendar so he could be there. I was so glad when he actually made it home in time to go with us (we even all went to five guys before hand). laura and dotes were also there, which made it easier for us to manage the crew at Bethany.
I have said this before – I LOVE Bethany Nursery School! it is so small, sweet and kind of old school feeling. there is lots of different play spaces and they really embrace what the kids are passionate about. so glad charlie is there this year.
in we go probably smelling a bit like old french fries.
it was as if ellie and claire belonged there. they jumped right in.
we found charlie’s picture on the wall. gotta love his attempt at a smile!
pointing out his friend sam in the picture.
we then moved into the smaller room. ellie and claire wasted no time playing with the toys.
charlie’s class. we instantly scanned the kids and tried to pick out a nice friend for him. we decided Bennet would be a great fit (and we met him that night and he was so sweet!). so we are now always talking about Bennet around our house.
it was the sweetest thing. when we got into this room charlie saw Mrs. Sohkitab and she was chatting with someone else. he continued to kind of whisper awkwardly near her “hi mrs. sohkitab” over and over. eventually, when her conversation was wrapping up I told him to say it again and he was able to introduce Bill to her. he LOVED it. then she helped him work on this puzzle. she is such a kind teacher. it is incredible what love you have for your kid's teachers. while charlie and mrs. sohkitab were chatting legos came up. mrs. S told charlie that at school they could bring out the legos and build something fun if he wanted. she asked him what he wanted to build and he said a boat. then she said they could build a boat and bring out the water table to put the boat in. I just love that they want to encourage the kids to do fun things like that.
what were ellie and claire doing? fighting over this toy.
hey! there is that sweet boy – Bennett. I think I need to set up a playdate with him.
then claire found her calling…coloring. with crayons – lots of them! seriously, claire was in her happy place. she would grab handfuls of crayons and just giggle in delight. apparently the one crayon I give her at home is not enough.
working it.
then ellie went over to do her spot as natalie morales on the today show.
the girls LOVED being at preschool. we had to drag them out kicking and screaming!
a big bedtime story.
