blue day, hat day

Hailey started a new preschool in January.  The co-op she was in lost their teacher in October and we had a temporary through the first week of December... at which that point they still hadn't found a replacement.  So we decided to switch schools and we couldn't be happier.  She goes two days a week for 2.5 hrs & has transitioned quite well, even though she misses her old friends (who we still keep in touch with).  Each month her new school has themes.  Yesterday they could choose to wear something blue and a hat.  Here are all the girls in her class (boys were a seperate picture).  I got to spend half the day in class and enjoy some mini bagels & blueberry cream cheese.  Also yesterday Hailey was the "show person" and got to bring something for show & tell.  She chose her laser stars that Uncle Tommy got her for Christmas.  They were a hit, they turned them on again during snack and the teacher asked if she could borrow them next month when they learn about stars.

babysitters club

I think we are onto something here.  Hailey entertains while I supervise, pretty good deal.  We enjoyed spending some quality Auntie/cousin time with June.


As the girls were eating lunch I was doing some dishes.  I noticed they were quiet but didn't think anything of it, I was just enjoying it.  Then I hear "Mommy?".  Me: "Yes?"  H:  "I think Junie is tired".  That's when I turned to see this.  I had to take a video before putting her down to sleep, it was too cute.

little pike

We needed an extra activity to help burn some of her crazy energy.  Hailey loves swimming, but she's not thrilled that she is the only girl in her class this time.  This instructor seems to be better than her last one...maybe she'll master the skills of a pike and move on up to eel status.
