Moving up, Throwing up, and Ice Cream

Moving Up:

This morning, Anniston became a "Bouncy Bunny". That's the name of the 3 year old preschool class at our church/her school. Last year she was a "Tiny Tigger". She was so excited this morning. We woke up, put on her new school outfit, and fixed her hair extra special. We even left early enough to get a pink donut!

Dadoo met us in the parking lot as we were eating our donuts, and then we all went into school (and yes, we'll do this with her every year as long as she'll allow it!). The first thing we did was let her point out her new locker to us. This is where she keeps extra changes of clothes (just in case!) and all of her napping items (blanket, pillow, stuffed animal). Then we posed for pictures--of course! Afterwards we went to her new classroom and let her explore everything. She checked out the dress-up clothes first, then went to the kitchen, then to the hand puppets. After she looked around, we went back to the room that the kids gather in until breakfast time. We both got our hugs and kisses, and she waved goodbye to us as the teachers came up to her oo-ing and ahh-ing over her cute outfit and hair (and Anniston LOVES all of that attention--her head might not make it through the door if they tell her too soon!)

And by the way, Anniston's favorite "center" last year was "dramatic play". I have a feeling it may be the same this year. When I came to pick her up after work, I couldn't find her--seriously. I looked and looked. The teacher started laughing and said, "yours is the monkey in the corner". I looked in the corner of the room, and Anniston was dressed in a monkey costume that was the fuzzy head piece, big belly with long sleeve fuzzy arms, and pants down to the fuzzy monkey paws. There was even a banana in the side of her costume. Anyway, she sat there quietly watching me try to find her, and once I made eye contact with her, she ran up to me laughing hysterically. It was pretty cute!

Throwing Up:

What more can I say? Treyson had a rough day. He had a spell of diarrhea early on, then was fine. Later in the afternoon he had more runny boo-boos and then threw up (for the first time ever--boo!). So needless to say, he's staying home tomorrow with his Dadoo....good luck working from home Jerry! haha

He was in great spirits all evening. He did have another runny diaper, but didn't throw up or act upset in any way. We're hoping this is a very short-lived bug.

Ice Cream:

Anniston wanted to go on a date with her Dadoo. They have done this before, so when she asked I thought it was a great idea. I asked her if she wanted a donut date or an ice cream date (she and Jerry have weaknesses for both). She said Ice cream date. So they went to Dairy Queen after dinner tonight. Anniston had vanilla ice cream with chocolate and strawberries on top! What a lucky girl!!
