Day out with Thomas

First week of Preschool

I got this letter from her preschool teacher this morning:

Just wanted you to know that Carissa seems to be making a good adjustment to preschool. She is enjoying the activities and seems to be pretty comfortable. She wasn't sure about leaving her pine cone at school today, but I assured her she could have it back when we were done.

Have a good weekend and see you next week!

So proud of her..

PS: Carissa likes to bring pine cone inside the house, so I told her maybe she can show it to her teacher since they have a science table and kids could bring something from nature to show it to other kids in her class.. so she brought her pine cone :)

First Day of Preschool!!!!

Finally!!! she's going to school. She's so excited this morning that she's going to school like most big kids do...

Today and tomorrow will be a gradual entry, so just for 1 hr but next week she will start going twice a week for 2.5 hrs each day.

She learned how to go to her classroom and put her stuff on her cubby, and sit in the circle and listened to story. Today's assignment in class was she had to draw herself on a piece of paper. She did pretty good.. she was so upset when the teacher rand the cow bell (time for clean up). She didn't want to leave...

Such a big girl... can't believe she started school already!!

Carissa's Closet

I finally found a dresser on craigslist that pretty decent only for 20 bucks, so I reorganized her closet :D (still in progress tho) since it's nap time for her when I re-organizing.

Carissa First Dental Visit

Carissa went to the dentist for the very first time yesterday! she went to the same dentist that I go to. She was so brave, I was the one that more nervous than her! Good thing my dentist's older daughter was there and helping her out so she's not scared during the cleaning process.

Next stop next year, the dr. said her teeth are looks fine and no cavity which is good.

Last night she finally learned how to brush her teeth like an adult (with spitting out and gargling) :D Daddy taught her this :)

This morning we went to Carissa's first shoes fitting at Performance Dance Centre, she will be in a pre-ballet class next semester. So we just got her first "new" ballet shoes :). She is so excited, she put on her "dancing" dress and her ballet shoes and start dancing around the house :)

I just think she's so cute :)
