We are on winter break from preschool for a couple weeks, which means Orelia has finished her first semester of school ever. She'll be college-bound any day now.
Friday mornings are our favorite mornings of the week.
She is getting to know the kids and parents in her class (as am I), so it makes the class even more fun since everyone is familiar.
No matter how cold it is, Orelia always wants to spend at least half the class outside.
There's more climbing and peek-a-boo and slides and just more excitement out there, I guess.
We are so lucky that some of our best friends are in the class; Orelia and her pal love to chase each other and ride the slides side-by-side. It's such a joy to see them light up around each other.
Orelia loves playing with all kinds of toys we don't own at home.
Recently she's become obsessed with the markers station. I have no pictures of said obsession, since I'm always on high alert when she's clutching a couple markers, lest she decide to run around the class with them (as she is prone to do). She usually comes home with a few markers stains on her school clothes, but obviously they only stock washable markers at a preschool.
I think the school is a good fit for both of us. She and I enjoy our time there, and I am learning a lot about child development in the bi-monthly night classes.
Our teacher always has good insights and advice, and the fellow parents either have words of wisdom or are able to understand what we are going through.
We can't wait for next semester to start!
