This week is Family week for Bella's preschool class. We made a poster with pictures of our family that they are hanging in their class this week, and today she came home with a paper she colored about her house. So here's what she said -
My favorite room in my home is - my room
because - it's all green
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in her little mind. Not what I would have thought!
Speaking of what goes on in my kids' minds, tonight Lola and I were reading Flat Stanley. I would read a sentence and then if it had a large word in it, I would make sure Lola understood what it meant. One part talks about the most expensive painting in the whole world.
So I asked -
Lola, do you know what they mean by most expensive in the whole world?
Yeah momma, it means you can't buy it for me.
Too true!
Okay, so on a totally different topic, Bella is finally moving out of her toddler bed into a twin bed. Seeing as how she's as tall now at 3 1/2 as Lola was at 4 1/2, you think we would have done this sooner. Well, better late than never.
She found a bedding set at Target (where else?) that we both fell in love with. I love the retro look to it, and Bella loves the colors and animals. I bought the valance and then went to JoAnn's and got some cream colored fabric to make the valance into drapes. Then I'm going to use some of the leftover fabric with some cute ribbon to make a memo board for her to hang her pictures. Then I'll just have to find some cute little pictures to replace her current ones and I'll be done.
Here's a little sneak peak at the bedding, I'll post pictures of her new room once it's done...I think I may be a bit more excited about it than Bella!
Well, the girls both started school this past week. And what a week it was! Lola is officially a kindergartner, which is so hard for me to believe. Bella is going to preschool two days a week for 3 hours a day.
As Lola said to me on Tuesday, "Momma, you're going to be all by yourself this morning!". Yes, indeed I am...and yes, the time went by just as quickly as I had imagined it would! As wonderful as it was, I really did miss my girls.
I asked Bella after her first day how everything went -
B. "It was great, Momma!"
Me. "Well, what did you do?"
B. "Nothing."
I had to laugh at that, already talking just like a teenager. Ofcourse as the day went on, she told me all about what they did that day.
Lola told me after the third day -
L. "This is hard, Momma!"
Me. "Yes, I know kindergarten can be hard, Lola, but isn't it fun to learn all sorts of new things?"
L. "Oh, no, Momma. Kindergarten isn't hard, it's great, I love it! This going-to-school-every-day thing is what's hard!"
...or rather they did eat it. We had fun today with our sponge and finger painting, especially since the paint was chocolate pudding, yum! Lola did this in preschool last year and so I thought it would be a fun craft for the afternoon.
Now the question is, did they get more pudding on their paintings....
or in their tummies?
