Today we started off Valentine week! We went to story time this morning and had a Valentine party. All the kiddos got to decorate white paper bags with red, white and pink hearts. Even Lydia tried to decorate her bag...okay, maybe she just wanted to eat the glue!
The kiddos listened to a story about love, sang some songs and even did Simon Says. Then, it was time for the Valentine exchange. The children put Valentine cards in each bag that was decorated. Lillian wrote all her cards this year and signed her name and Lydia's name to each card. I was impressed! She had 30 to do for today. Lillian was excited to place them in the bags and even more excited to see what she received!
We all brought goodies with us and of course, this was Lydia's favorite part. She ate two cookies and kept going back for more. I finally had to pull her out of the library in order to keep her from eating too much! She is a mess when it comes to food! We went to Chuck E Cheese this past weekend and she ate five pieces of pizza and then had a snack in the car on the way home. Then, we had a cook out with friends on Sunday and she had a snack before dinner, ate dinner, ate three brownies, ate cookie crisp cereal on the way home and then found some pretzels and was eating them before bedtime. I was about to vomit watching how much she consumed! I told her gluttony was a sin! heeh ee She always makes me laugh!
Lillian is doing well too! She is reading now and enjoys reading me at least one book a day. She is enjoying school too. I can't believe how tall she has gotten this year and she is almost as tall as me now. Seriously! She has grown up a lot and reminds me everyday to be patient! :) Love you all and Happy Valentine's! Hope you can all be with the ones you love this year!
Love,
Julie
