Michaela's BDay Party at "School"


She didn't know whether she liked the hat or not!
Yummy Cupcakes!

We celebrated Michaela's birthday at CDC last week. She had a great time. She didn't know what to think about blowing out the candles or wearing the hat at first. It did grow on her though. She started school over a month ago, and she absolutely loves it. If it was up to her, she would go everyday instead of just two days a week. She talks about her teacher, Mrs. Lucy, and her friends often. She loves to talk about Ella "Lella" the most. I have been so pleased with the program so far. Mrs. Lucy has been wonderful. She gets a daily report sent home everyday. It states how she ate, her behavior, nap stats, etc... Here are some funnies that have happened.


Last line of a report given to me a few weeks ago, "We did talk about keeping our clothes on at school today!!" OK, so turns out I have a very unmodest child. I am told that she tapped her teacher on the leg while working with another child on an art project. Mrs. Lucy turns around, only to see my "litte lady" in nothing but a diaper. She had taken her shoes and clothing off and placed them in the corner of the room. I got a good laugh out of this, but did have to talk to Michaela about stripping at school. She knows we only do that before taking a bath or getting dressed. Didn't realize that I needed to cover that upon going to school.


About two weeks ago she comes home from school. She had a substitute teacher and received good instead of great on the behavior portion. I decided I wanted to see why she didn't get a great. I say, "Michaela, Did you get in trouble today?" She replies, "Yes." I asked her what she did. She says as plain as day, "I pulled Lella's hayer!" So, of course we talked about using out hands to be gentle, etc... I am thinking for days that my child has become a violent individual. I ask the teacher the next time I saw her about the incident. She looked at me baffled and said, "Michaela didn't pull anyone's hair. She got along great with everyone last week." So I have come to two conclusions: My child either lies to get herself in trouble or she is pretty dang sneaky. I am just glad that I just talked to her about it and didn't get too upset about it. I just was shocked that she answered so matter of factly.


So, to sum this all up, Michaela loves school and I love to give her a chance to interact with other children and I enjoy the time I have to get things done that otherwise don't get done on a normal basis. She is so funny. I love kids at this age, minus the few terrible two traits that come with it!!

sounds like my adventures at mothers day out! lol. i could give ya a bunch but my favorite was when landon was 2 in taylor masseys class and she came into the room after eating her lunch to discover landon missing, she called his name, looked in the hall for a few minutes only to hear a very soft whisper form sophie singley say an dpoint- mrs. taylor- hes in there...he had gotten into another girls sleeping bag with her and they were both just as quiet as could be under the covers-lol. needless to say we had to have a discussion (with a 2 year old) about not getting into another girls nap mat-hahaha. the stripping thing happened with him to a few times:)
