Transition Time

Bella started her new class last week.  She wanted Mommy to stay with her for a little bit during circle time.  She woke up in the morning with bad constipation and was not her happy self.

Teacher R. is Bella's primary teacher.  She was the same teacher Katelyn had 2 years ago.  Bella is well adjusted to her new classroom.  She likes participating in art class and having share day every Wednesday.



Katelyn is learning what to do in an emergency.  Her class had a field trip to the Fire Station.

Each kid had a turn in the captain seat.

Bella is doing much better in swimming these days. She switched to a new teacher.  She was becoming lazy before and didn't want to paddle to the distance of the wall.  Mommy was so proud of her for earning a sticker for her paddling.  The teacher gave her a high five.

Bella couldn't help smiling.  Rewards works well with this little one.

The girls celebrated Kalina's second birthday.  Kalina is already taller than Bella and can out eat Katelyn.

Auntie Michelle did face paint on the kids.  Bella asked for Dr. McStuffins on her arm.

Katelyn was so happy to have a reunion with her preschool friends at Delores Park.  Katelyn always has such fond memories of these girls.

There was a very windy slide at the park.  Katelyn was scared at first, but Daphne convinced her it was fun.  Katelyn ended up going on it a dozen times.

Bella had fun on the swing.  Siblings were invited to the play date as well.

Bella is asking more these days to sit on the potty. She rarely pees in it, but says, "I want to try going potty!"  Daddy gave her a pep talk and told her, she could do it.  Daddy has been great reading books to her while waiting for her to go.  The pediatrician said because she has bad constipation (she takes medicine everyday) potty training can take longer for her.  Mommy is in no rush and secretly thinks diapers are easier.
