First Day of Pre School (sort of)

September 18th, 2008 by melissa

This morning we got out of the house by 8:15 to get to pre school. It was the kiddos first day, but it was a work day for me, so they weren’t alone. It was a fun day at school. My job was the blue table and outside. I got to take the kids height and weight, so we can see how much they grow by the end of the year. Then I was outside the rest of the time. Nicole and Justin went right for the bikes outside. It was a little scary as they were going fast down the little hill, but soon enough they got the hang of it. The kiddos loved their red buckets to put all their stuff in. They found their little cubbies to put all their stuff in too. Justin was ok without me, but Nicole wanted me to go wherever she went. Justin was into playing trains and making tracks. All of a sudden I look up and Nicole is all in dress up, shoes, hat, dress, so cute. She was into pushing the baby in the little stroller. Since I was working this day, Nicole and Justin had to bring something to share. I forgot but luckily I had their skateboard dog/kitty in the car. They sat on the teachers lap and talked about their toys. Nicole said her kitty’s name was mommy and Justin said his dog’s name was daddy. They both proudly showed how they pull their animals, it was cute. Justin came home with an envelope with a paper that he cut. I had no idea what they were doing inside. Hopefully the kids will remember to put their art work in their buckets to bring home, so I can display them. Both kids ate so much snack-they were starving. They both painted and got back on the bikes when we went outside. We came home and they both wanted lunch. Nicole ate a lot but not Justin. The kiddos decided the shower down stairs was a pirate ship and all the toys went in there. What a mess, so cute though.

I tried to get them to nap. Read a bunch of books in my bed, then tried to lay down with them…it just didn’t work, hopefully Nicole won’t be too cranky later. I gave up and let them watch Barney. Then we went to the grocery store, the kids had so much fun with the carts. Nicole is really into wanting to help me lately and with everything. I promised the kids when we got home we could paint their red buckets from pre school. So on the greenbelt we went and the kids loved it.

The kiddos are going to have the most decorated buckets at pre school. It was fun watching them paint, but what a mess! After we came in and made dinner. Daddy and the kids were using their squirty toys. Nicole wanted to help so I tried to think of ways she could help with dinner. They were such a mess from painting and spaghetti that after dinner we just gave them a bath. They played for a bit, read stories, and off to bed.
