Week 2...Much Better

We have had a very good week.  Gracie has been more excited about Preschool, she didn't cry at all this week, but she was still a little unsure in the mornings.  I think she is really enjoying it, now that she has a best friend.  She told Mark last night that her and John Carter had to sit in time out yesterday.  She never said what happened and I am sure if it had been something bad, Mrs. Monica would have told me about it or sent a letter home.  She is going through some phase that she HAS to have on a dress or skirt and she is NOT happy if I lay out shorts for her to wear.  She also has to have a bow and ponytail everyday, like I said not sure where it all came from but all she will say is "I just want to be pretty".   Oh well, at least she is cute and well dressed everyday!!!  

Hayden has had a great week too!   We turned it 3 challenges on Monday and sent her first set of site words for her to be tested on.  She passed all of them, I know no one is really surprised, but I was so excited and nervous Monday to see how she did.  I knew she knew all of it but sometimes she freezes up on things she has known forever, but she did amazing and got a big sticker that said awesome job on everything and Mrs. McDaniel sent home the next set of site words for her to start on.  As of today I think we are going to be ready to send in 2 more challenges on Monday.  We have been working so hard on counting from 1-100 and even though it seems so easy to me, I know it is hard for her...but last night she finally got it all by herself and words cannot describe how proud she was!!!  I am so proud of her, she is getting off to a great start this year! 

Gracie is loving Ballet, she really is enjoying it.  I am so glad that I signed her up this year too.  Mark thought she was still to little and to much of a tomboy to be a ballerina, but I think his little tomboy is turning into a Princess...with all the cute dresses, bows and ballet!!!  Hayden still enjoys Ballet too and she is having a blast at Soccer this time.  She is a Pro, she is the only one on her team that has played before, so it will be interesting to see how she does the first game...whether she is shy or really shows what she can do!!!

As always Colton is wonderful.  I know I say this all the time but he is such a good baby!  He is smiling and talking all the time.  He loves attention and might be just a little bit rotten.
