Miranda's Nursery School Graduation 2018

Today was Miranda's last day of nursery school but she had her graduation on Monday. Her teachers sent this cute little book about her progress in class. I'm so sad to leave Wisdom Tree. Next year she starts real Pre-K in Omaha!

Someone Special Celebration 2018

Miranda's nursery school had a concert to honor "Someone Special" which I guess is their answer to Mother's Day/ Father's Day/ Guardian Day. Adorable kids.

Miranda's First Art Show 2017

Miranda's Nursery School hosted an art show featuring the kids' artwork. We have a few artists in the family so maybe this will just be the first of more art shows for her.

Kids' Halloween Parties 2017

Miranda's nursery school Halloween party was on Monday. She arrived a little late and missed some jams, but enjoyed seeing her friends in costume, having a snack, taking pictures, and picking up a big bag of treats.

James's 1st grade Halloween party was Tuesday. We did two craft projects (candle holder, pumpkin decorating), played Bingo, and read Halloween books. The kids also had a parade when the parents weren't there.

I brought Miranda to James's party

Miranda's First Day of Nursery School 2017

Miranda started school! Her teacher is Miss Dee, and the teacher's aids are Miss Jackie and Miss Jaime.

Preschool, 3 years old!

With her big brother.

Her first day ever was Wednesday, but since her brother started Tuesday I dressed her up like she was going too and took pictures of them together. This worked out especially well because her real first day was super rainy.

Real first day- with Dad

Miranda told me that she met and played with lots of kids. she and Ella played with the kitchen together. She met a girl named Jordan but didn't get a chance to play with her.

She told me that they painted a school bus, which was obvious because she was holding it when she came out. They sang songs, including Old McDonald's, which she serenaded me with once we were home. She had a snack which she described as "a backpack of goldfish and jellybeans!" Actually, I packed her lunch and it was a snack-sized Ziplock of goldfish, fruit snacks, and a juice box. Not the healthiest ever, but I was trying to make the first day fun.

Returning to the Mommy N' Me location but on her own this year!

Her special hook right next to her friend Ella's hook

She looks dubious here but she smiled right after I snapped the photo.

She's already forgotten all about me. Haha.

She seemed super happy when I picked her up.

Ready to go home- and it's sunny now!

Her new besties Ella and Jordan

Me: So you liked school?
Miranda: I love going to school. I love going to the playground. I love going to Great-grandma’s. I love going to Grandma’s. I love going to Ella’s house. I love going to the beach.
Me: We do all that stuff because we love you so much.
Miranda: And you give me kisses and hugs.

Then she proceeded to tell her painting of the school bus, "I love you so much!"
Me: Your Painting?
Miranda: It's yours now.
Me: But were you telling me you love me, or the painting that you love it?
Miranda: The painting.

Me: Did you learn anything? Did you do letters or numbers?
Miranda: Yes! I learned numbers!
Me: What numbers?
Miranda: C, Y, W, X, and X!

We have a little work to do I guess. But I'm sure she's going to do great!
