Practice

 

Natalie got to give Peyton her bottle today. It is good practice for the future.

Hat Day

 

Natalie's school had some special events last week: crazy sock day, team t-shirt day, hat day, and pajama day. Here she is on hat day showing off her purple hat and a heart she made.

Fiesta

Today Natalie got to visit me at school at the tail end of our Fiesta party. She helped me with dismissal, keeping a tight grip on my hand the whole time. When that was done she enjoyed some nachossome and even got to tour a kinder classroom and meet kinder teachers. She seemed to have fun looking at the classroom, but they won her over when she got to take home a couple of Little Debbie snacks. Natalie's looking forward to school in the fall.

Loof Toof

Natalie's loose tooth is barely hanging on. In fact she can push it with her tongue all the way forward in her mouth. Mark tried to pull it out with gauze, but she was not a fan. He tried to get her to bite into an apple or a plum, but she refused. Before bed she said she wanted to keep her tooth so she can show it to her friends tomorrow. It's about time for that thing to come out!

Kinder Registration

Lately Natalie has been asking how long it will be until she goes to kinder. To her, August seems like an eternity to wait! It happens to be registration time for current students who are returning next year, so I picked up her kinder registration packet in the office today. She'll be going to the same elementary school where I teach and she couldn't be more excited! After signing my life away and gathering all of the necessary documentation, her packet is complete and ready to be turned in tomorrow.

Strawberry Festival

Yesterday we went to a strawberry festival. Natalie and her friend Kamryn had a great time. They rode on a couple of rides, ate chocolate covered strawberries, participated in a balloon toss, visited the petting zoo and fed the animals, and had balloons made. I tried out the iphone video capabilities on my phone for the first time. The picture turned out to be pretty clear, so I hope it comes out okay on the blog. My iphone drops calls all the time, but at least it can shoot video correctly!
