Preschool
« Previous EntriesThis is IT
Thursday, May 17th, 2012Today was the last day that I dropped off one of the Brown children at Shadow Rock Preschool. Today was the last day I picked up a child from Shadow Rock Preschool. Today was the day I hugged two very important people in the Brown family history and tried to thank them for all they [...]
Literal Paul
Friday, May 4th, 2012Literally is one of those words that has lost it’s literal meaning. You will hear people say they “literally did _______” when in reality they mean to just exaggerate. This overuse is so grand that they made a character on the show Parks and Recreation, (which I don’t watch) surrounding this hilarity of the overuse. [...]
Paul is Registered
Tuesday, April 17th, 2012I registered Paul for kindergarten last week. We had debated sending him or keeping him home another year but we really feel he is ready. He is so outgoing and is learning his letters and sounds now that we can feel comfortable with him having success in school. I didn’t shed a tear. I didn’t [...]
A Date Night with Mom
Thursday, February 9th, 2012Last night was Girl’s Night Out at preschool. Paul was super excited to take Mom and Grammy on a “date.” He insisted that we take the Mini Cooper because it is more fun than the van. We picked up Grammy on the way and asked Paul what he wanted for dinner. He responded with, “chocolate.” [...]
Epic Moments
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011I know the word epic is far overused these days and gives me pause to actually use it, but sometimes there are actually moments in life that are epic. Where moments in time suggest a certain amount of poetry in motion and are indeed epic. Today was Paul’s feast at preschool. 3 years ago I [...]
Thankful for the last feast
Monday, November 21st, 2011“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” ~ Dr. Seuss Tomorrow is the last feast I will attend at Shadow Rock Preschool. I am feeling a bit sentimental over it. Madeline’s and Annie’s and Kimberly’s feasts were wonderful and I have no doubt this one will be as well. The feast will always [...]
School Photos 2011
Sunday, November 13th, 2011There is something adorably cute about ridiculous school pictures. We all have a couple from our childhood that we look back on and wonder, “wow, really?!?” Now they offer all kinds of photographs and different angles but I just go with the standard photo so that I can get a good gauge of how they [...]
Filled Out a W2
Thursday, September 1st, 2011Last year the preschool had inquired about me subbing for them when they needed it. I told them I would but every time they called me I already had something arranged for that day. This year they asked again and I said “no problem”. I figured it would be a while before they asked but [...]
Paul’s First Day of Pre-Kindergarten
Wednesday, August 24th, 2011Paul was up early ready to start his first day of preschool. He was excited to come downstairs and see his tote bag ready with the letter “P” he requested on it. His helpful sisters were so excited for him as well. Kimberly made him his waffle. Mimi put on his tennis shoes while he [...]
One and a Half Men
Monday, April 18th, 2011Two weeks ago, Paul’s preschool had a Guys Night Out. It was considerably more bittersweet than last year’s, but we made the best of it. It really was a lot of fun: the teachers had devised a series of “experiments” for us to do together. Alka-Seltzer bottle rocket using a film canister, dancing raisins using [...]
My Last Preschool Registration
Thursday, March 24th, 2011Today I registered the last little Brown family member for preschool. He will follow in his big sister’s footsteps and be in the Rainbow Room. The days have passed so quickly since I registered Annie, KimberlyandMimi in the school. I know that Paulie will have a year full of adventure and maturation just as they [...]
Paul’s First Day of Preschool
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010Today was Paul’s first day of preschool. He joined the Dragonfly class and was so excited to finally be going to school. He made quick friends with the teachers and the kids. (He already knew a Ellie because Mimi is in kindergarten with Ellie’s big sister.) He painted, sang, and played. He loved it. When [...]
Bathroom art
Thursday, March 18th, 2010In Mimi’s preschool they put up a piece of artwork a month in the bathroom. The piece they chose this month is Madeline’s.
My Kind of Guy’s Night Out
Friday, January 15th, 2010Last Tuesday was Guy’s Night at Madeline’s preschool, an event you may remember where the children bring the important fellows in their lives. To say that she was excited is an understatement—she had been counting down the days for weeks. I think it stemmed partly from following in her big sisters’ footsteps and partly to [...]
Madeline’s Christmas party
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Today was Mimi’s last day of preschool for this year. Paul and I went to hang out with the kids and see Mimi. When we arrived they were playing letter bingo. After bingo we played in the room and cleaned up. The kids were so eager for their party that everyone was cleaning before the [...]
One small step
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009In 8 days this tiny foot will be going to preschool. It is so hard to think of her being ready, but she is. This week she has been solemn. I think she has been sad because the Girls started school and she is still waiting for her school to start. Finally her teacher called [...]
A Mixed Celebration
Thursday, January 15th, 2009Tuesday was a very exciting and special day for the school girls. Their preschool class hosted a Dad’s Night Out where each girl brought her father to school for a nice little party. Since there are two of them, they were allowed to bring their grandfather as well. The build-up to the big day was [...]
Preschool Holiday Party
Thursday, December 18th, 2008Today we were invited to Annie and Kimberly’s preschool holiday party. When we arrived it was still playground time so we went out to join them. Mimi loved being able to play on the equipment. They had green cupcakes and fruit for snack. Mimi was invited to join in. I am not sure who was [...]
Thanksgiving feast at Preschool
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008Yesterday we went to preschool to enjoy the feast. Each class made something different to share with the group. Annie and Kimberly made pumpkin bread. It was so cute to see them all sitting at their “tables” Annie and Kimberly made great candle centerpieces that we will be taking to Grammy’s for the holiday dinner.
Preschool Pictures
