Tell me you like my hat

Yes it's summer but she wants to wear it, and tells me she wants to keep it on all day.

Lily's new typewriter

Thanks Aunt Marty!! 


Detailed

I said to Lily to do something more detailed, and Annabelle looked at is like we were crazy and asked with the most amazed tone of voice and look on her face - you have tails in there?!

Candy

Lily wanted to make sure her and Annabelle's candy didn't get muddled up, so she put them in separate bags and wrote their names on them. 


(Yes, they are identical). 

Funny thing

Funny thing Annabelle said today:

"That's a great question Lily"

Happy Birthday Aunt Marty!

Safety Town



Lily attended Safety Town over the last two weeks at Greensview Elementary School in Upper Arlington. This is a program that has been offered since 1971 to 3,4 & 5 year olds in the summer time. It is over two weeks for three hours per day. 

Each day they cover a different safety topic in an easy to understand and remember way suited for children. They have so much fun! 

They learned all about fire safety, water safety, poison, strangers, bike & road rules, school buses, animal safety, and lots of other tips. The wonderful Officers Heather and Sean were the main instructors, and each of the six classes had their own teachers too. Lily's teacher was Mrs Knoop. 

Highlights according to Lily were riding the school bus, learning about things that are safe to eat or not from Spike the porcupine (puppet), riding tricycles around the miniature village in the schoolyard learning about road rules, and seeing the firefighters and the fire truck at the school. Of course telling me how to be safe with everything is a highlight for Lily too! 

The photos and video above are from the graduation ceremony they had on the last day of the camp. The kids all agreed they had a great time!

Outfits

Lily did a wonderful job getting herself dressed this morning! 

Annabelle is being dressed in all my favorite outfits before she grows out of them, even if they are too fancy for preschool! 


Ballet

I asked Lily if she would prefer to take a gymnastics class when school starts or continue with ballet. She said gymnastics since she already knows how to do ballet.

Laptop

Lily has been sitting with me doing Kindergarten exercise books this week. She said that she wanted to work on a laptop too like me but I told her I don't have a second one. She decided to make her own!
