"Andy Apple"

Today Kenzie came home with a new song:

ANDY APPLE

Andy Apple would like to play
With his animal friends today.
First he'll teach them letter A.
Andy Apple draws A this way!

(tune: "Skip to My Lou")

It is cute. She also had a wind sock she had made at school. She wrote the letter A several times on it! I am so excited that she is doing so well as school already this year and she loves going! That is the main thing. She loves going.... Hopefully we will be able to keep her in this habit.
Yesterday, she brought home a couple of things... One was the New Washington Newsletter.
It basically says that Open House is comming... PTO is starting... and some of the sports are getting started. Right now, we are not putting Kenzie into any sports because they are mostly for the older kids.
In other news, in form of another newsletter, EARLY CHILDHOOD PARENTS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
The topics were:
Help your preschooler become responsible for personal care
*Cleanliness-- Encourage your preschooler to practice good hygeine.
*Dressing-- Allow your preschooler to help pick out her school clothes and dress herself.
*Outerwear and belongings-- teach to hang up coat and backpack.

The best way to teach respect is to show respect.
*Don't speak harshly
*Don't belittle
*Offer to help
*Give child full attention
*Be calm and fair

Follow a few simple guidelines when you discipline...
* Be battle wise
*Avoid arguments
*Consider chioices

Teach your preschooler to be mindful of the feelings of others
*Teach to look at facial expressions.
*Help your child notice the accomplishments of others
*Discourage your child from commenting on the appearance of others.

(taken from September 2007 issue of Parents make the difference!)

Other than that, I think that will do it for now... I will post again if anything should arise...

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
