Big Girl Status

Last week Bella officially transitioned out of the infant/toddler room and moved into the younger preschool classroom.  It was bittersweet.  All the teachers in the Squirrels classroom were so amazing.  They were so loving and cared for Bella as if she was their own.  We will miss each of them! Teacher N was on break when we were taking pictures.

This is Bella's new primary, Teacher M.  This transition went much smoother than when Katelyn transitioned at age 2.  Bella jumped right in and was definitely less clingy.  Bella handles change and adjusts a little better than her older sister.

Here's another one of her teachers, Teacher C.  The ratio is now different with her new classroom.  There are 3 teachers instead of 5 and definitely more kids.

Bella was most excited about the small sinks and tearing out the paper towel.  Her new classroom will help her with potty training.  She will sit on the potty every time she gets a diaper change to get her used to being on a toilet.  She's becoming such a big girl!

The girls love going to gym parties!  Last week the girls celebrated Aidan's birthday.  At this gym, Katelyn sat on a rope and swung back and forth.

Bella swung with Daddy's help.  Please excuse the blurriness and black and white pictures.  It was set on the black and white setting and Mommy could not change back to color in time to capture the moment.

Katelyn had fun diving into the foam pit.



The birthday boy smiled for the camera.

 Bella took a little break and wanted to hold Sam's hand.

Mommy and Auntie Becca got to sit and chat while the bigger kids played.

Christian, Josh, Auntie Suzy, Uncle Wil and Ayumi joined the girls for lunch the next day.  Katelyn was not particularly happy in this photo since she was hungry.

After some food in her tummy, she was in a much better mood.  It was pouring rain when it was time to leave the restaurant.  Good thing all the girls had rain jackets!

In the evening, Auntie Lilian invited us over for Chinese take out.  She was so thoughtful to get a birthday cake for Mommy and Daddy's birthday.

The kids were entertained with coloring the Paw Patrol pups.  What a busy weekend!  The girls loved spending it with good friends and family!
