Reagan Goes to Kindergarten!

Reagan attended the North Post Child Development Center (CDC) at Ft. Belvoir for the last 9 1/2 months, and we loved her teachers. She made some friends there and mostly enjoyed going to "school" each day. In her Pre-K class, she learned a lot, including several Spanish words! Not one for long goodbyes, we snapped a quick picture with two of her main teachers, Ms. Zayas and Ms. Veronica, and got a picture of her with the building before heading out for the last time.  




We actually left the CDC early that day because we had Open House at her new school! Reagan was excited to find out that her friend, Ethan, would be in her class...there are 10 kindergarten classes at Woodley Hills! She got to meet her teachers, Ms. Dunbar and Ms. Rafi, and take a quick tour of the school.





After a great long weekend of camping in WV, riding her bike, playing with her sister and hanging out with Grandma & Papa, Reagan was really excited about her first day! Best part...riding the bus, of course! It was such a big day, Papa even came up to see her off.




She hardly looked back as she boarded the bus, and I didn't even get a goodbye hug! But we are so proud of our big girl! She had a great first day and is looking forward to a fun year!



Savannah was not happy to see Reagan board the bus:( The entire trip to the CDC where she's still going, she kept saying, "Sissy bus? Where Sissy? Reagan's seat?"

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
