Prize Winner

Natalie won the sleeping prize today at Pre-K even though she didn't nap! She's the only one who hadn't won the prize out of the class. She was quiet and laying still so they decided to give it to her. They did mention that she never naps at Pre-K. Well...welcome to my world, people! There's been no napping for probably a year at least! It's nothing new!

In other news, her morning Pre-K teacher is getting moved to a different class next week because a teacher suddenly left. So Natalie will be getting a new teacher next week. The good news is there's a new girl in her class now so she has a couple of choices of girls to play with.

Today she got to show the Corduroy bear journal to her class and Corduroy even passed out Southwest peanuts to each kid.

First Dance Class

Natalie started dance today. She's advanced from the Pre I to the Pre II class. Pre II is a continuation of tap, ballet, and tumbling. She's excited about dancing again. Her teacher is new to teaching dance. I think she just graduated from high school. The owner sat in the class with her to help her out. We hadn't tried Natalie's dance shoes on her since her recital in June and thank goodness they still fit. They were brand new in June, but her foot seems to grow quickly. We realized that her dance outfit looked kind of small though. Natalie is really looking forward to this year in dance.

Corduroy Visits

Natalie was selected to take Corduroy bear home with her for the week. He's supposed to participate in family activities. Then Natalie will help us write in Corduroy's journal about his adventures.

Natalie and Bella posed with Corduroy this morning at dance class.

Natalie took Corduroy to Las Palapas. He liked the bean and cheese taco.
