First Week Success!

We received an email from Sofia's teacher and it sounds like her first week was really great.  She is integrating well with her classmates and seems to really be enjoying herself.  It seems as though a personal favorite of hers is the soap both for her hands and her mouth like lipstick :)  Below is the email we received from her teacher as well as some photos of her first week.

HI Brooke-I just wanted to let you know your little Sofia is transitioning well. She is a ray of sunshine! She talks alot, points at things and names them, says "HI!" to everyone, gives hugs, and when she gets what she needs/wants will commence with "Okay!"....the other day she woke from her nap and said "hi there!"...it was so cute. She is very much exploring our class right now:) 

 

Yesterday after nap, she walked over to the rug infront of the cubbies and said "I go potty" and then went. I told her "I see that you did, let's go to the bathroom"....which leads me to think that since she is aware of her body needing to go, states it, pretty soon she will be sitting on the potty on her own volition. Things to look for are her "tells". What this is is what does her body do, her face do right before she has to go....and then when you see this at home, let her know her body is showing you she has to go soon...and walk her to the bathroom....

Hope you all have a great day and thank you for bringing your daughter to our class/school-she is awesome!

 

Yay for french toast for breakfast!

Preschool Adventures

Sofia entered her first week of preschool this week and so far is really enjoying playing with all the other "babies." While I think she misses seeing Papa and Grandma every day, the socialization seems to be really good for her. According to her teacher, she has been talking and playing with all the kids in the class :)

Here are a some pictures from this week including the fort that Daddy made for her!

Godfather Love!

Sofia's Godfather and our good friend Dennis came down this weekend from Seattle. We picked him up from the train station and had lunch at a great little bakery in North Portland called Tula's. We miss having him here in Portland, so it is always nice to catch up when we get the chance.

Spaghetti in the hair!!

Sofia decided to spread her spaghetti dinner in her hair tonight. This was the end result after I tried to get it out :)

Day 31: Daddy loves and trying shoes

Sofia had a fun night last night with Dad. She also put her shoes on by herself last night!
