Claire's First Day of Butterfly School

In September, Claire started Butterfly School (a 2 day a week preschool/MDO for toddlers-PreK). She is having a wonderful time. She loves playing with all of her new friends and eating lunch at the big table. We couldn't believe what a big girl she as become. Daddy made toast with egg in the middle for her first day, I got her a butterfly cookie to celebrate her first week. I have to admit, it's been really fun making her lunch everyday. I get to be creative, which I love. I have made her sandwiches into butterflies and one day she had a duck. She may not notice, but one of the teachers did, and she told me how fun it was to see what was in her lunch everyday. If only we could get C to nap everyday. She's the only one not napping, but most days she'll nap when she gets home, which works for me. Ha! 

Here's a funny conversation that C and I had after her first week of no naps, to prepare for the following week:

Me: "Claire, I am so proud of you. You are doing such a great job at school. You know how your teachers tell you at naptime, 'Claire, it's time to lay down and go nite nite' Well, you need to lay down on your monkey mat and obey Miss Carrie and go nite nite. Okay."

Claire: Go Nite nite. Lay down.

Me: That's right

The next day.....

Me: Claire, are you excited to go to school today?

C: Yeah.

Me: Well, what are you going to do at school?

C: I go nite nite.

Me: Well, let's hope.

*** Nope. :) A good effort, though. We'll see!
