Tuesday TOP TEN: First Day of Preschool



Yes, yes, the first day of preschool was two weeks ago almost. Yes, I am finally posting some photos along with a TOP TEN!!



Basic info:
Date: Thursday, August 19, 2010
School: Lincoln School
Teacher: Miss Crystal (Rubbo)
Classroom: #12



1. Taking the pre-requisite pre-leaving the house pre-school portrait with backback. Where does this kid get her cheesiness? Blaine, probably.



2. Arriving at school kinda later than originally desired. School starts at 8:30. We got there about 8:25. Again, I blame Blaine.



3. Having Miss Crystal as her teacher just puts a whole layer of comfort over everything. Crystal's parents are awesome & totally involved in all things Soledad. Her Dad was my go-to man to help me fix/install/troubleshoot all kinds of things at the Soledad Pool. And they did water aerobics! Super awesome connection.


4. Attending class with Olivia & Austin. (note: Austin's super-fly simultaneous hand-holding of Olivia & kissing of Jane).



5. Finding her name on the table: I THOUGHT my kid was a genius, however she had a difficult time finding her name tag. I blame Blaine.


6. No crying. Blah, blah, Jane's well-adjusted, blah, blah. I wanted a little resistance - you know, just so I know she'll miss me. But? Nuthin'.


7. Going out to breakfast sans kids. Jamie Bellew and I enjoyed a hot meal at First Awakenings with no interruptions, time to actually have a conversation, and glorious half-caf coffee!


8. Being at work on time.


9. Blaine graciously bringing Jane by the store after picking her up so I could find out how her fist day was.


10. Hearing Jane tell me in response to the classic "what did you do in school today?" with an ultra-classic "nothing". Ha!




Love ya Miss Jane,
Mommy



P.S. Just joshin' about blaming Blaine! If I blame him for the bad, then I have to give him credit for the good: like Jane's curly hair, her sunny personality, or her intelligent ability to identify the entire alphabet. Those are CLEARLY traits from me.

Like Daughters, Like Mothers...




Hey, they wear bikinis, so do we.




So there.




Don't scroll down if you don't like seeing pregnant ladies in bikinis.




I'm trying to warn you.




We ARE pretty cute, but some people still don't care for it.




The tan helps.




Are you ready for some big 'ol bellies?




Don't say I didn't warn you!




Because I did!

This is the only photo where even ONE of them was looking.
Olivia (almost 3) & Jane (2.5 years)

So, what do you think about those pregnant ladies?




(P.S. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all)



Thank you,
Stacey @ 24 weeks
