Where oh where did this weekend go? I enjoyed a low key
weekend – Anika had basketball games on Saturday, but I was happy that they
were home games. Today Wayne worked and I spent the day cleaning and getting
rid of a bunch of stuff in the kids’ rooms. I don’t do it enough and if you
have kids you know how quickly it can get out of hand! With Christmas right
around the corner I wanted to make sure that they had a clean slate to start
with before they added a bunch of new presents in the mix.
Tomorrow night we will be heading to Anika’s choir and band
program – but today I just had to share photos from Noah’s Christmas program
that we watched last Thursday. There is just something SO adorable about
watching preschoolers perform for friends and family. I absolutely love that
age, and how excited and proud they get over their moment to shine. Noah had a
grin from ear to ear – and after their program they always play a video with
photos from what the kids have been doing in preschool for the first half of
the year. Noah sat on my lap and held my hand while he excitedly pointed out
when he saw his face up on the screen.
After the slideshow we all gathered around and tasted many
treats with a dessert buffet. The kids don’t usually get to take a plateful of
goodies but this was a special occasion, and they loved it. By the end of the
evening all of the preschoolers were sugared up and running around with tons of
energy!
This was Noah’s last preschool Christmas program, and after
four consecutive years of attending the annual event (two years of Emma
followed by Noah) it’s a little sad for me. I’m happy that they are growing and
learning, but sometimes I feel that it’s all moving too fast and I’m not ready.
My entire life I’ve had babies and toddlers and I’m on the verge of saying
goodbye to that phase.
One program down – two more to go. I love this time of the
year.
