I have to say how happy I am that Addison enjoys her new "school" so much! We can only say positive things about it. It makes going to work and having to leave my sweet baby for 9 hours much easier. Her teacher, Ms. Christi is wonderful! Addison is in various rooms with various teachers in the mornings and afternoons. We just love all of her teachers. Every few days, Addi brings home "crafts" that they've done. Today, she brought home a "Big Bad Wolf" puppet and the story of "The Three Little Pigs." HER FAVORITE! A few days ago when we went to pick her up, she cried because she didn't want to go home. She wanted to stay and play! Today, we peeked in her classroom, and she was sitting in Ms. Christi's lap. They were both coloring. She was drawing "the big bad wolf" (that's what she told us it was). She saw us and continued to color. She didn't say hello to us or anything. Selfishly, I wanted her to run up and hug me but, on the flip side, I would rather be confident that she is happy at school. God worked in unexpected ways to put Addison at her new school. We were registered somewhere else but after we found out that our school district was starting 15 minutes earlier, we had to move her. I was in hysterics because it was weeks before school was starting, I wanted Addi in a church setting for daycare, and I couldn't find anywhere that opened at 7:00 a.m. I saw a friend at the library, and she told me about the place she sends her child. (At that point, we were covered in the area of childcare. It was not even 2 days later that ours' fell through.) I called and they just happened to have 1 opening in the 2 year olds. This alone is a miracle because it is a very small church with only 1 2-year-old class and teacher. To top that off, Addison is in the same class with my friend's little girl. God has been so faithful in providing exceptional childcare for Addi.
September 5th was Anders' birthday, so (given that Addison just adores birthdays), I decided to let her help me wrap some presents for Anders. She really enjoyed helping Anders unwrap the presents and singing "Happy duthday, Annie!"
John surprised Addison last night with a watermelon from our garden. He let her sit on the floor with him and watch him cut it. She loved taking the seeds out and collecting them in a bowl.
These pictures were taken before school this morning. Addison was making me laugh- she was prissing around in her high heels. By the way, thanks, Julie, for letting us borrow this outfit. It's adorable! (We didn't let her wear the high heels to school). Thanks for loaning us Eme's shoes that don't fit her anymore, too. Addi's teacher told us that she is always shocked at how many pairs of shoes Addison has because she never wears the same pair. Thanks, Emerson!
This is a video of Addison singing. She loves the Barney Song, but sings it as "I love me" rather than "I love you...you love me." At least she's got good self esteem! HA! She also likes the Rainbow Song.
Addison went to her first Auburn game last weekend! Julie, Tucker, John, and I took the girls to Auburn to tailgate last year but didn't go to the game. This year, Randy offered us his tickets for the first game, so we jumped at the opportunity to take Addison into Jordan Hare Stadium. She had a ball! John got her an Auburn cheerleading outfit and shakers. When we stopped to eat, we got to see Jim and Prudie and Robert and Dee (long-time family friends). After they left, she kept saying, "Jim! Come back." It was funny! Here is a video of Addi's trip to AU.
I would love to post some of the videos of us during the game, but will do it later. (It takes so long to upload videos!).
After the AU game, we headed back to the lake. The builder had framed the new screened in deck, and it looks great! We had a fun time at the lake. Mom, Randy, the boys, Aunt Glenda, Uncle Porky, and Emily came. Julie, Tucker, and Emerson weren't able to come because Julie had to have her wisdom teeth taken out. (We sure missed them!). We rode in the big boat and the paddle boat. Addison really enjoyed playing with Emily and Aunt Glenda (and the boys, too). We celebrated Braden's 7th birthday Sunday night. I cannot believe my first nephew is 7!
Well, there's our long update. I simply don't have the energy to blog much these days. By the time we get home, eat dinner, bathe Addison, read books, and put her to bed it's almost 8:00. Then, we clean up from dinner, make lunches, and watch a little TV before bed time. Last night, we crashed on the couch and woke up at 1:00 a.m. We are thankful for each day we have, though... longs days, jam-packed schedules, and all!
