September

We went to the beach for labor day. It was a loud, fun family trip with Nana, Dandy, all the aunts, cousins, etc. You loved the beach and the sand. You did not want to go into the water much past your big toe and decided to build sand castles instead. We did a dolphin cruise and lots of other fun stuff like searching for crabs at night, live music, etc. You told me how much fun you had and wanted to go back!

WE have a new thing, I tell you that you are my favorite 3 year old....Also, You say the sweetest prayers at night, Lately you have added some personality to your prayers. Very loud and tv personalityish, " TTTTHhank you God for Mommy and THHHAnk you God for Daddy and THHAnk you God for all the yummy food we have....and on and on.. It is really sweet but hard not to chuckle. You have your eyes closed but have the most dramatic expressions.

in other news...

We have been visiting Heritage Baptist Church, you call it the Bible School church because we went to Bible School there in June and you loved it. You were a little sad but made it through class. You seemed to enjoy it and were ready for a nap when we got home. Something did not go your way and you started crying and throwing a fit, etc....I was trying to ignore you..your Daddy and I are so tired of spanking and getting on to you....but you came up to me in the recliner and said , (through tears), I feel so sorry for you....I looked puzzled and said, why? Because I am acting so bad!!!!

Dance

I have never seen you so excited as your first day of dance. You were prancing around in that tutu and I took lots of pictures at home. Of course when we got there, same thing, you are fine not tears, but are so shy you can barely look at the teacher. But luckily that does not stop you, are so ready for this! You got a marshmellow and a sticker when you left. You were on cloud nine!!!! I think you are the most gorgeous ballerina.

School

You have had a few incidences with your teacher helper, Mrs. Christy. First you are not happy that she makes you "try" to go to the restroom. And then she was insistent on you throwing away your snack but you weren't ready. You were too shy to speak so you just got upset (inside) and let me hear all about it in the car. I will talk to your teachers about the bathroom thing, they are fine if you will tell them when you need to go. Now I have to convince you that Ms. Christy really does like you....you keep telling me she hates you! They said you talked and smiled a bit this week...and you made a new friend, Julia. Ms. Nancy said she came over and asked you to play. There are only 3 boys in your class and 12 girls. You have already told me all about each one. One is mean and hits people, one told you to get out of the swing, etc...you don't forget!

Blaire at School-August

You did not cry a tear when I dropped you off at school. You are SUPER shy but ready for some action. You looked adorable in your hot pink leopard outfit this morning. They showed me the picture they took of you at school....no smile, you were so shy you could barely look at the camera, finger in mouth of course .If they could only see you at home. You never stopped talking on the way home. You loved it. I am so happy for you and can't wait until you warm up to your friends and teachers.

August 23 2009

We went to meet the teacher today at your school. Your teacher is Ms. Nancy, though you call her Ms. Fancy. You didn't say a word of course at meet the teacher but you loved the classroom. I think the baby dolls and dress up shoes really caught your attention. I can't believe you are old enough to go to preschool already. I hope you have so much fun. I love you girly girl!

Blaire we went to do some school shopping and you were so cute. You have a definite opinion about your clothes. You are 3 going on 13. Everything you picked out has leopard or peace signs on it. You always want to look pretty. I caught you the other day with bracelets around your ankle just for fun. You have the most gorgeous eyes and sweet smile. You are ready for preschool to start and ask about it often. I hope that carries through once it starts.
