As a full
time working mom I struggle with the feeling of guilt for putting Kallie into
daycare every day. I worry that she will
not thrive like she would at home with her me, I fear that she might be upset
for whatever reason and is not getting the snuggles and reassurance that I
would give her, but my biggest fear has always been that I will miss her “firsts”
. . . her first time crawling, first
steps, first word etc. I am Kallie’s mom and I want to be there to see these
things happen versus someone telling me about it. Lucky for me I have seen all of her firsts at
home and was lucky enough to be in her class video taping when she decided it
was time to crawl!
Although I
would prefer to be home, I know Kallie has a great time at school and her
teachers are amazing. She lights up when she sees them and continues
to talk about her entire class of every night.
Her teachers are great at communicating what is going on in class and
how Kallie is doing so I don’t feel left out.
Sometimes they just email funny scenarios that happened that day which
always brings a smile to my face.
Here are a
few of the recent notes I have received from Kallie’s teachers – all of them
make me smile but some of them crack me up too! And a few pictures from the Open House her classroom had this week.
Pooh Bear
has been the talk of the morning; he even made it into our morning song! We
will work on coming up with a list of our songs with words for everyone as
well, I love that Kallie is singing them at home! (Part of the time we make
them up as we go along as well!)
Kallie was
working with the magnet tiles with Iosua and I, and she let me know “Mommy is
at work… and Daddy is working…. In Mommy’s car” so then we asked if he got to
drive for his work or if he just sat in the car, she let us know “he stays in
the car with coffee” What a small office :) I love this age, and her pauses
in-between comments you could tell she was thinking it all over!
Exciting
news today! Kallie popped on the potty! She was so excited and we had a
celebration! Then, when Sarah got back to class she ran up to her and said “I
pooped on the potty!” Yay Kallie! We are so proud!
Just
wanted to let you know Miss Kallie has had a wonderful morning! We danced with
the instruments, which lead to 2 year old interpretive dance, and worked on the
first part of our leaves as well. She keeps coming and giving loves as well! We
will let you know if she had a hard time sleeping, but so far the cough hasn’t
been too bad.
Kallie was
the first one to call out what colors she saw today at the beginning of the art
project! She also was the first to the paint table and the last to leave :) Her
painting will still be on the drying rack, but you should check it out, she is so proud of
her mixing of the colors! Also, her heart sweatshirt has been a huge hit today;
our friends are loving the heart!
Kallie let me know that she needed
to poop in the potty chair, and made it in time! Way to go Kallie! She also was showing friends how to throw the
football outside and yelling “Go Seahawks!”
Miss
Kallie has been in a good space this morning! She told Morgan how she was sad
about taking off her pj’s and then she put on her stripes :) She
was busy in the barn, and doing the dance activities this morning!
