Back 2 School

Yesterday we went and met Noah's new preschool teacher. Her name is Miss Stacey and she is very nice. She spent a few years teaching elementary school before she had her own children and now that they are starting school she is teaching at our preschool. Noah got along well with her and I really liked how the room was set up for the kids. After working in childcare for so long I appreciate when I see a well set up class room and I am excited for Noah to spend time there playing and learning with his friends. There are three kids in his class that he attended with last year, so he will have some friends already when he starts this year. We think that will make it an easier transition. There are 6 boys and 5 girls in his class this year (Yay! Last year there were only 2 boys in a class of 10) so we are excited about that too.
Rachel has a new love - Elmo. She still calls him La-La most of the time, but she can say Melmo if prompted and we have been trying to teach her that that is his name. I think it's kind of cute though that she calls him La-La. I think this came about from hearing "Elmo's Song" in the car. Like Noah did when he was her age, she loves to hear the 1st Birthday cd while in the car.
