Here's to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. Let's just say Alayna learned a few things about fossils and trying to say all the Dinosaur names. I was able to pawn of the boys to other people so that I could go and just enjoy her. I think the highlight of this for me was actually our car ride down alone. No radio, no other kids, just she and I talking. I took the advice from a dear friend who is famous for asking her kids questions. I thought, now is a good time. So I said, "Alayna if you could change one thing about preschool what would it be?" She paused and thought for a moment, "Well, there is something a little hard for me." Oh, what is it? I asked. She said, "Well, cutting on all the lines is a little tricky for me!" I told her that is so good to know because we can practice that at home so it won't be so hard. After we discussed that I asked her what her favorite part of preschool was and she said, "Playtime...can I say that mom?" Of course! But then she said reading the books, and learning to write. She's so open and willing to share her thoughts and feelings and I just adore taking the TIME to actually visit with her. She's my special little buddy and I really enjoy just taking one on one time with her.
She's posing in front of her picture she colored. Hers is the top picture...I helped draw the outline of the picture and she colored the bodies, teeth, eyes, etc. I think she did a pretty good job. Her teacher saw this and said, "I can't wait for you to see her alphabet dictionary at the end of the year because her pictures are so detailed and darling, she takes her time and really does such a good job." I couldn't agree more this little girl can take an entire morning to work on one picture.
She's trying to scare Jake with this picture.
Now this is where we spent the majority of our time. We rolled up our sleeves and played in the sand and water. She was in heaven. She and I worked together to build our little dinosaur world. We had a great afternoon together. I love spending one on one time holding hands, teaching her little things and just praising her for how wonderful she is. These are the moments I am continually reminded how much I love being a mom.
