Julianna: preschool 2013-2014

Today was Julianna's last day of preschool for the 2013-2014 school year. She was in Ms. Carla's three year old class and she has loved every minute of it! She was in a class with three other little girls and eight little boys. Julianna grew so much this year and in every way! She is taller, smarter, kinder, and more mature. I am so glad that Josh and I decided to send her to preschool this year because it has been a wonderful experience. Her teacher was so amazing with her. So patient and loving- exactly what Julianna needed. Julianna will be turning to the same preschool next year in the four year old class three days a week. We have been blessed with an amazing beginning to Julianna's school career!

I made this little gift for Julianna's teacher as a way of saying thank you. It was filled with summer essentials- a beach towel, flip flops, and a mason jar cup but mostly importantly- a handwritten thank you note. Julianna was so excited to give this gift to Ms. Carla. I hope she knows just how much she has meant to us this year. Teachers are such special people and should always feel appreciated.

Julianna's class celebrated their last day together by meeting at the park for playtime and ice cream sundaes. It was such a fun morning and a wonderful way to end the year!

And of course, she had to have a silly picture taken this morning!

Julianna: preschool program 2014

Our little superstar shined bright at her end of the year preschool program last night. Her three year old class sang three songs and she did so good on all three of them. Music, art, and dance are her passions. She's been rehearsing her songs in front of the mirror at home. Just too cute. We are oh so proud of our Julianna!

Julianna: first day of preschool

Julianna is officially attending preschool! She had her first day on September 4 and has been so excited for this new adventure. Since I only work part-time currently, I had planned to work with her at home and essentially do homeschool pre-schooling. Well, when people say that your children will listen to other people better than you, I believe that. Give me a room full of 22 third graders and I can teach them anything. Give me my own 3 year old and nothing will get accomplished. Julianna needs structure that preschool provides as well as the socialization with other children her age. So far she is doing really well and learning so much. She looks forward to going 3 mornings a week. And I'm so happy that this has been a good transition for her after just being at home with mommy for over a year!
