All the kindergarten classes celebrated the 50th day of school by having 50's day. The children were encouraged to dress up. A friend let us borrow this Halloween outfit. LL had a ball! They had a bubble blowing contest with gum. They learned the twist. She came home wearing a "Rockin'" hat made with a paper record. I had to explain to all the children what an LP is. :-)
I had my doubts about sending our little girl to school this year. After watching her thrive and learn so quickly--and having her teacher literally beg me to let her stay in (she is one of the few well-behaved students)--we decided to let her stay. She is doing very well, and loves every day.
It's not all roses, of course. She is a little more clingy at home, I suppose because she isn't getting the same kind of love and acceptance at school. I'm not so naive to think she would be loved as much as I love her, but I wouldn't mind a little more positive environment for her first school experience. (was that a run-on?)
LL is almost always happy and positive and considerate. She doesn't like it when a sibling snatches her things. And she is all tears when she is tired. But for the most part, she reminds us what we love about life. She has a different viewpoint than most people. It is always interesting to hear her thoughts!

She looks so cute in her 50's outfit. What a fun way to celebrate 50 days in school. I have never heard of that one. ED is so handsome. I can't believe we have boys that age. He is a great bowler, wow, and he definately scored for his birthday. Lucky boy! A lot of work for mom, but fun too. All the kids are growing up way too fast. Are you going to the twilight movie?
What a great school! Very cute! Very creative! She is adorable!
Your kids are getting so big!
I felt the same way about the movie. The books have been so successful and I really thought they could have done better. I guess probably most of the teens loved it...Alyssa did, but Ciarra thought it was cheesy. What was up with Jasper the zombie. Crazy! I did read Midnight Sun and loved it. I sure hope she finishes it. Have a happy thanksgiving!
