TRIAD Goodbye

After 5 years at TRIAD, we had to say goodbye!  We will miss so many of the incredible people at this preschool.  I truly think of them as part of my tribe.  We're very hopeful we will see these gals at the lake soon!

Cullyn's 1st Fieldtrip

Cullyn took his first field trip this fall.  They went to Center Grove pumpkin patch to see the animals and chose a pumpkin.  I was lucky enough to go with them! :)

Fall Party | Pre-K

Last Friday, Jordyn had her first Fall Party and school.  They read fall books, painted a pumpkin, had a snack, and played BINGO.  We were going to play musical pumpkins {chairs} but ran out of time.  The kids all seemed to have good time and I was so happy I was able to help coordinate it.  Tip to moms going through this for the first time, if you plan the party {activities, games, snacks, prizes, etc.} you get to assign the other moms to take a station which allows you to watch your kid participate. :)

Jordyn | Back to School | 2016 {Pre-K}

Jordyn started Pre-Kindergarden at Ankeny Public Schools this year.  She goes Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for 2 1/2 hours each day.  I was incredible nervous for this transition, since she's so shy.  In fact, Adam and I discussed the transition from private preschool to public school for months before making our decision.  And then she went to school on the first day like she'd been there for years. #LikeAChamp I'm sure the meet the teacher night and home visit from Miss Gina helped, but to say we were impressed would be a huge understatement!  

She loves everything about school {especially centers!}, while I'm over here still getting trying to get used to homework, only district provided snacks {even for birthdays & holiday parties!!!}, and not being able to sneak into her classroom every day!  But we hit the jackpot with teachers and Jordyn is thriving, so that's all I can ask for!  PS...poor Jordyn was so tired in these photos!  I took them right after her first day of school and she was beat! :(
