PreSchool Story Time- December 2018

December storytime was a blast! We got Stacey and Shalini to go, and we built crazy wire buildings and did snowman art. Woo.

PreSchool Story Time- October 2018

James's school, and Miranda's school next year, has PreSchool Storytime once a month in the library. Luckily it's in the morning so I was able to take Miranda before her afternoon PreK class. First, we had story time and songs. Miranda felt too shy to sit with the other kids during story time. Then we had a craft. Then Miranda got to check out a book (on James's account). Really great class- and it was all free!

James Has New Friends 2018

James has a bunch of new friends in his class at school. Albert, Andrew, Aqib, and Holden. He does walking club in the morning, and often walks with Andrew from his class. He also has some friends from our regular visits to the park. The other day we ran into his friend Andrew at the park, and I got to chat with his mom Lindsay. This week we had a fun playdate at their house, along with Miranda, Andrew's older brother Miles, and their youngest brother Hans. So much fun!

James's First Day of 2nd Grade 2018

James's first day of school in Omaha was really something special! We took pictures in front of our new house, there was a jazz band playing outside the school, the kids all line up by class with their teachers then each class is cheered as it goes in, and it was my first time solo-driving him home from school! What a big day! After school, they had first-day-of-school cookies and then the kids took their scooters to the park.
