1st Day of Preschool!

Today was Montanna's first day of Preschool! I found a preschool that is put on by the local Lutheran Church here and it is perfect. Montanna's class has 15 kids and it is 2 days a week for 2 hours. She has a Tinkerbell backpack with the things she needs inside and has a special place to put it in the house so we don't have to look for it when it is time to go to "school". 

We walked in this morning and they had all the kids name tags sitting on the table and asked Montanna if she could tell which one was hers. She went right not the one that said "Montanna". That was a proud Mommy moment. She can recognize her name! She didn't even look back to say goodbye as she put her name tag on and ran off to play with 14 other kids she had never seen before. Other kids were crying and clinging to their moms and Eden started crying thinking I was going to leave her there too. :) She got to finger paint, read stories, eat cookies she didn't like, and has been talking about how much fun it was ever since. I think this was a good decision. She is happy!

We've Been Busy!

These girls have been best buddies lately. They play and have fun together and have been chasing each other around the house. It is so fun to see them enjoying each other in that way. Eden has started talking and saying so many more things. She copies Montanna constantly and they both want whatever the other one has. We have lots of laughing and giggling around here. We also listen to screaming and crying every once in a while, but we try not to dwell on that too much!

 Montanna and I have been doing preschool at home and we made headbands and practiced shapes. She just found out last week that she was going to be able to go to "Real Preschool" and has been talking about it ever since. 

 Montanna LOVES watermelon!

 This is a picture of a Sunday afternoon when we played Chutes and Ladders and Montanna not only made it through her first game but WON!

Eden and one of her hats. She loves hats and grabs whatever hat of Adam's she can find. She also likes to wear strainers and plastic kitchen bowls on her head. She goes into the kitchen and plays dress-up. Sounds like she is like her cousin Bryn who likes to do the same thing.
