Note to Self

Do not leave a single-sticky back bathroom tile in the bathroom.  Two things will happen.  One- the back will be peeled off by your 3 1/2 year old.  Two- small items (toys and such- and maybe a pull-up) will be stuck to the back of the tile.  Once this happens, how do you explain that it wasn't okay? 

Allyson's First Day of Preschool!!

Today is the day!  Allyson woke up this morning "super 'sited" for preschool today!  We managed to eat breakfast, brush teeth, comb hair, and get shoes on all with time for a quick story before leaving to go.  When we arrived at preschool, she was all wiggly with excitement! Here is a peek of her morning...

Backpack on and ready to go!

Allyson had a GREAT drop off this morning.  We anticipate she will have a fantastic day today and look forward to hearing all about it when we pick her up in a little bit.

Summer Dancing!!

We spent lots of time this summer attending free concerts in the park.  Allyson LOVED hearing all the different music and dancing along.  She is "That Kid" who is out in front dancing her heart out!

Preschool Visit!!

Allyson has her first day of preschool tomorrow!!  We are super excited and know she will just LOVE it!  We had a chance to go over last week and meet her teacher.  Allyson enjoyed hanging out in the classroom and checking it all out!  We mentioned her love of reading to her teacher.  The teacher showed Allyson the books that were all ready to read.  Allyson's response?  "Do you have any chapter books?"  :)

Got milk?

Seems we have taught Allyson to be responsible and self-reliant.  Need proof?  This is what we turned to see a night ago...

This was followed by an interview...
