Meli had Kindergarten registration the other day. Oh my! I cannot believe that she is starting big girl school. I am not an overly emotional person, but this one may get me a little bit. She was so excited to be at Colin's school! She will be 5 in a few weeks and this just put the idea upfront in her mind. She is a big girl! One that is very quirky and fun - but also very stubborn and sometimes moody. Not sure who she gets that all from (haha). She reminds me a lot of me as a kid but I was a lot shyer. So, certain aspects of my personality were only shown around ones that I was super comfortable around.
I like how they have it set up. They are staggering the start days over the first two days, so that they can see the personalities of kids before placing them with their teacher. The first month they may still move the child to a different class. They really want to have each child with the best fit teacher for them. They also will not do full day for the first month. That is nice. Even though Meli is in preschool/daycare now, she has not been going all that long. Plus, she only goes part-time. We plan to up it this summer to help her adjust to full days better.
Well, on to the next chapter of the B Family. Both kids in school.
Will took a few days off last week, so he took Meli for a daddy/daughter breakfast. It was the first day of rain in awhile, so Meli got in cold weather mode. She wanted gloves and a hat (no sweatshirt or coat for some reason) and two extra hats - "just in case" (her new phrase). Below she is playing in their little kid area.
Meli enjoys cooking! I love this and not so much at the same time. I really enjoy having the kids help me out, but sometimes when I am in a rush or cooking a lot of different dishes it can be stressful and a lot more work. Most of the time it is a fun experience. Below is a picture from this weekend of all of our plates. Meli wanted to help with breakfast. She decided what we were going to have. I reminded her that we needed a fruit, protein, etc. Then she remembered that not everyone liked certain things. So, I would say who likes mushrooms. She would say "not Meli and daddy". So we each had our special plate. She even scrambled the eggs!
Until next time! This is parenthood...
Hugs, Love & Kisses
The B Family
