I took a few pictures of preschool in December. The kids are such good little friends. It is so entertaining to be around 3 year olds.
Here are some conversations I overheard from the 3 year olds at Joyschool:
Ben put his pencil behind his ear and said, "Look, I'm a doctor!" Everyone proceeded to put their pencils behind their ears.
Jaeda complimented Alexandra saying, "I love your pants!
Alexandra asked me: "Do you have a baby? You have to have one." Isaac interjected, "I have a baby, " (His baby brother, Adam). Ben said, "I do, I do, I do! Wibit, wibit, wibit." I said, "Ribbit?" He said, "No, wibit!" Then I got it, "Oh, Elizabeth?" He said, "Yes."
Isaac and Weston were arguing. Weston said, "Batman has red eyes." Isaac said, "no, black eyes." Back and forth it went, "No, red eyes," "no, black eyes, " until they came to some sort of agreement.
Audrey very pleased with her picture: "I did it! I did it!"
Isaac after getting his painting so wet it was practically falling apart said, "Is this twash?" (trash)
One of my favorite preschool conversations was during snack time when they started talking about who at the table wears underwear and who wears underwear sometimes AND diapers sometimes. Then the disclosure came of who was wearing what kind of underwear. Princess? Thomas? Spiderman? I got to know it all!
I thought the pictures they drew were fabulous. Top from left to right: Alexandra Finlayson, Jaeda Sannar, Audrey Arndt. Bottom from left to right: Isaac Bradshaw, Weston LeBaron, and Ben Gunderson.
Alexandra: "This is a picture of my Dad."
When Ashlee came with her laundry she said to Weston, "Weston, will you help me do my laundry?" Weston quickly replied, "Yeth," which is Weston's "yes." Minutes later when Ashlee went to do her laundry she couldn't find her laundry bag. Finally, she looked in the laundry room. There was Weston. He had dragged her monstrous laundry bag to the laundry room making good on his word to help her with her laundry. He had already started putting dirty clothes in the washing machine. He is such a great little helper. 
Here he is getting himself a hot dog, ketchup, and grapes. There's protien, fat, and carb--a pretty balanced meal! Where has my baby gone?
He just HAD to know what would happen when he said, "Nobody lick my foot." Oh, Rob. Really?
The other night it was, "don't go get your pajamas on." Bastian and Weston ran upstairs giggling and Hayden said, "I can't believe that still works."
He likes this shirt because it is his favortie color.
This picture was colored at church.
These pictures were colored at preschool. The church picture and the preschool pictures were colored weeks apart.
Here are the girls in our group: Jaeda Sannar, Alexandra Finlayson, and Audrey Arndt.
Joy School is held once a week. We mothers rotate as the teacher for the week. Each week we focus on a letter, number, color, shape and value based theme. Some of our themes are: Identity and Families, Bodies and Health, Gratitude, Sharing, Service, Countries, Customs, Traditions, Choices, etc. Each child has a carpet with thier name on it where they get to sit during circle time. Thier conversations are so fun to listen to. Just last week they talked about underwear and diapers while they colored. I tried not to rudely interupt their converstion with spouts of loud laughter.
They all get along so well. Our schedule is as follows:
These two were glued to the window during a recent hailstorm. I remember being little and watching hailstorms and lightning storms from the deck. Isaac Bradshaw was playing with Weston during the storm. It was so cute to watch them press their faces to the glass and comment on the wonderment of how it bounces off from the surfaces upon which it falls.
