Catch up Eight-Peiton starts Preschool

My baby girl started preschool at the end of August, crazy! She has absolutely loved it!

The first day she was a little nervous, so I drove her instead of having her go on the bus, yes the bus...she is also going to the preschool for little special people because she has grown up having Bode as her role model and she does everything he does, she is improving though.

So once we got to the school she went in pretty good and I could tell she was going to LOVE preschool!

I wasn't sure how she was going to handle coming home on the bus, so I hid out in the parking lot of the school to see how she did. She got right on and loved it! When she got off the bus she was all SMILES!

(I love her backpack, she picked this out herself, it is almost as big as her!)

Daddy loves!

Mommy loves! (yes that is me under all of that crazy hair)

Good work Peiton at being such a big girl!

Preschool

Our little Bode started his 3rd year of preschool a couple weeks ago. He was pretty excited when I put his back pack on him and we went out to wait for the bus. We are pretty lucky to be able to have the bus pick him up, it saves me a lot of running around time, plus he loves it!

This year he goes to school 4 days a week, it is crazy! He is almost like a Kindergartner. I think it is really good for him to have a set schedule and really good for me to have a little break.

My favorite part of him riding the bus would have to be meeting him when he gets home. He usually has this BIG smile on his face and so excited to see me. He greets me with a kiss and it is off inside to pick out a movie...

I can't believe this will be his last year of preschool, we will have to see what Kindergarten will have in store for us. Who knows??

Bode graduates...again!

Bode had his 2nd preschool graduation a couple of weeks ago. I know it is a little behind, but since I am using this blog as somewhat of a journal, I thought I should get it on here. I was on my Tuacahn trip so I wasn't able to see it, but I guess he wasn't the most pleasant kid, at least compared to last year which does make me feel better since I did have to miss it.
Even when he is a grouch, he is still a pretty cute kid.

Thanks to Grandma and Court for helping out!

Here is a little video of the fun things he was able to do. Watch him struggle with the teacher to get away...poor teacher, he is one tough kid and never stops until he gets his way (yes, we are working on this).

Congrats Bode, so proud of you!

{Back to school for Bode}

Bode started his second year of preschool today and o'boy was he excited, just about as excited as I was. Call me a bad mother but I have been looking forward to this day for the last couple of weeks. It is such a good break for me, the bus picks him up at 10:35 and he gets home about 1:45, I can get sooo much done. And what is even more awesome about it is that he LOVES it! When I pulled out his backpack that he hasn't used since June, he knew exactly what was happening, he went and put it on and went right to the door. It made me so happy. We went outside to wait for the bus and he waited patiently until we saw it coming down the street. When he saw the bus he got this HUGE grin and started his hands and arms went crazy, he was so excited. He jumped on the bus said hi to Debbie, his cute bus driver, and was on his way. When he got home he was as happy as could be and emptied his backpack to show me what was inside. It was a great day for both of us. I am so grateful for the programs the state has for kids with disabilities. The people that work with them are so good and care so much about these children. They really impress me and I am so glad that Bode gets to be a part of it.

Bode's Preschool Graduation

Today our little Bode had his 1st year of Preschool Graduation. It was such a fun thing to see and it was short and sweet which is always the best. We were so proud of him, he did such a good job. Truthfully I was expecting him running around the stage and not participating at all, it seems like he does that whenever his parents are around. Surprisingly he was such a cutie and did just what he was suppose to, except wear his hat, but that I can deal with. It has been such a great experience for him going to preschool. He has loved the bus ride to and from, he loves his teachers (they do such a good job with him) and he seems to love all the activities they do. And mom loves it because it gives me a break twice a week for 3 hours, next year will even be better.Bode doing the graduation walk...without the hat of coarse.

Who is number 1? Bode is number 1!

Here is a little video of the graduation. I tried to cut some things out but there were to many cute things that I had to put on it. It is kind of long, but so fun to see (at least his parents think it is fun, you could think it is super boring...but you might as well give it a shot). :) Ignore the laughs from Collin and I, we were just so surprised to see him doing all the actions.
