Now I know my ABC's
Next time won't you sing with me?

Today was our first of two open houses for the preschool. It's pretty much for anyone who wants to just come and check out the preschool and see if they'd be interested in signing up, and also for those who are already signed up so they can come and meet the teacher and get their new school bag, etc. If anyone reading this is looking for a preschool for their little one age 3 or 4, feel free to come check us out next Monday from 10-12. You can visit our website for details at www.whispercreekpreschool.com.

The open house was fun and it actually went a lot more smoothly than I had expected it to. When the first mom and kid came in it was just really awkward and I thought there was no way that she'd sign her kid up, but by the time she left he was all signed up and ready for school! We only had I think 5 kids and families come in today. We had Dalton, Keyan, Cash, Hailey, and I don't remember the name of the last one...

Keyan and Cash were really shy. Keyan was absolutely adorable and clung to his Dad like crazy. He seems like the sweetest kid! Cash's mom expressed a concern about him doing well in preschool because he is so shy. When I heard that I took it as a challenge and while she spoke with Miss Terri (my boss), I went straight to Cash and his older brother Conner and started up a game of Memory with them. I had Cash talking to me in no time. Not a whole lot, but talking nonetheless, and having a lot of fun too. He was laughing and having a great time. I really hope she signs him up and not only signs him up but puts him in the afternoon class (my class). I would really love to help bring him out of his shell.

Hailey was a cutie too and was shy as well, but not as much as the boys. Unfortunately she's only 3 so isn't old enough to be in my class. When she is old enough (if I'm still there) she'll probably be in Miss Leslie's class because they're neighbors. Speaking of Miss Leslie, I met her for the first time today. She was so cute and I think we'll get along great! I am really excited to be working with her and learning more from her and Miss Terri about teaching.

Lastly, Dalton. (First of all I must say I love that name! I have thought of a lot of girl names that if we had a baby I'd like to name her however no boy names have stuck with me until today I just love Dalton! Those of you reading this had better not steal that name from me although it may be quite a while until we are able to use it for ourselves.) He was the first one there and was so adorably cute! He loved looking at the fish and wanted to stay by him most of the time! :) He was so sharp and observant! He's only 3 so he'll be in Miss Terri's class (bummer!) but maybe if I'm still around next year I'll get him! :) Anyway, we finally got him pulled away from the fish and he cooked me an egg in the oven (at our little play kitchen) and game me some lemonade to drink. Then we played blocks. While we were playing blocks I asked him what we were making. He told me we were building a temple. :) I wasn't sure if I had heard him right and said, "We're building a what?" He replied, "It's a temple. And when we're done, we're going to go inside. Then I can marry you!" Ooh melt my heart! He was SOOO adorable!
