Kindergarten Prep B

I wanted to take a quick moment (so I don't forget) to talk about how how much Kallie loves school (aka daycare).  Although she is old enough to be in Kindergarten we made the decision to hold her back a year since she is so young.  We felt another year would only be beneficial in the long run.

With that said, I am so happy with the progress Kallie has made over the last few months.  She knows how to write all of her letters (upper and lowercase), can count to 100+, knows many of her site words and most recently has started to sound out words and is SO very proud of herself when she gets the words correct.

She loves to learn and I love that about her.  She is a sponge and literally remembers EVERYTHING you tell her (the good and the bad), she is a great listener in class, has a very kind heart and is the first child to welcome new kids to class.  I am one proud mama!

Sleigh Ride and Sledding

This weekend we drove to Happy Trails Farm in Easton for a sleigh ride/sledding adventure with friends.  Although it was freezing ... Literally 13 degrees as a high, we had a great time!  The kids loved sledding and roasting hot dogs over the fire for lunch.  When we did get cold we had a big canvas tent with a wood stove to keep us warm.

After a fun morning we went to a friends house in Cle Elum for more sledding, snowmobile rides and smores by the fire.  It was a perfect day and we can't wait to go back to enjoy the snow this Winter.
