BIG Girls & Big Girl School

This has been a HUGE week in our household. Not only are the girls growing right before my very eyes, but they started BIG GIRL school this Monday. Georgia & Ivy Jane now attend a preschool Monday-Friday 8:30-11:30. It has already proven to be such a GREAT thing! Each class has less than 10 kiddos & their teachers are certified...WOOHOO! Not only does it give me time each morning to run errands or clean or paint furniture or whatever it is that I need to do, it gives them time to play & have fun with other children & to learn from someone besides Momma. WE ARE BLESSED! It's no secret that education in the state of Louisiana is not exactly top-notch, so we feel very thankful to have found a private school with a director who has her PhD in education, 30+ years experience, & all certified teachers with an incredible curriculum! Thank you, Lord! 

Trying out their new "kicks" for school...

And on their first day of school!

Each day as I pick them up they get in the car & before they get get buckled in they are telling me what they learned, what they sung, what they played, who they played with, & what they had for snack! On Friday, Georgia's teacher told me that she is "blossoming & becoming so social!" She said, "it's been so much fun to watch!" WOW! In a week?! The main reason we started preschool is because Georgia's OT thought she needed the consistency in a smaller environment in order to be successful & gain confidence before Kindergarten.  I can not wait to watch them BOTH grow & learn this school year!
