Haven's First Day Of Preschool

She's growing up so fast.

Too fast.

In fact... I wish Haven could just stay her

little innocent, sweet, inquisitive, feminine, curious,

optimistic, loving, helpful little 3-year-old-self forever.

Glorifying The Mundane

I had to keep myself busy... to distract myself from the fact that Haven was at school... for the first time ever. *Sigh. I can't believe she's growing up so fast.

Jenny, a sweet friend in my ward, started up a Mommy & Me Preschool...

I know... she's a GENIUS!!! She's thought of everything from: field trips, detailed schedules of each day's events, learning itineraries, books, songs... like I said. ev. rie. thing. The following pics I've taken from her blog of the day's events:

Bailey, Sarah, Haven, Jacob, & Marissa

I love that they're all in nursery & preschool together.

Here's her cute daughter Sarah:

Happy little Haven

Sweet Bailey

Adorable Marissa

(she corrected me yesterday and told me it's pronounced:

"MO-rissa" Love it.)

Here's Jacob the little man of the group

From Jenny's Blog:

We kicked off the school year by talking about the Letter Aa. Note to parents: Have your children tell you what sound "A" makes and then have them sing you the "A song."

The A says "a"

The A says "a"

Every letter makes a sound

The A says "a"

Our number of the day was zero. I think they got the concept of "0" down pretty well. We worked on tracing our names. I'm going out on a limb here, but I predict by the end of the year they will ALL be able to write their names. We did a couple of pages out of our preschool workbooks.

For snack, we had apples and crackers.

FACT: Musicians use both of sides of their brain more frequently that the average person.

This is going to be a FUN YEAR!
