First Day of 2K!

Today was Addie’s first day of 2K today (which is preschool for 2 Year Olds).

We went on Friday to her “Meet the Teacher” day, and she seemed to really like both her teachers, as well as all the toys in the classroom! We got her folder with TONS of info in it, along with all of our security info (we have to have passes to swipe us into the buildings, and then release cards to actually pick Addie up). She also received a sweet handwritten note from her teachers welcoming her to their class and telling her how excited they were to have her this year.

Her folder and her note from her teachers, Miss Kay and Miss Amanda.

Her cubby.

This is where they’ll hang their art projects for us to pick up every day.

Unfortunately, Addie stays up WAY too late on a regular basis, and in turn doesn’t usually get up early. So she wasn’t TOO thrilled to be woken up this morning. But, nonetheless, here she is on her very first day of 2K.

People on facebook pointed out it looks like she is asking for her prize for posing for pictures in this one. Ha. She probably was…

She then told me she would drive “Addie’s Car” to school this morning. Oh my…. I thought we had AT LEAST 14 more years before THIS argument…apparently not.

She immediately asked for her sunglasses, of course. Which I was hesitant to give her, as I KNEW it would be a fight to get them off once she got to school. Luckily, she was distracted by the big water fountain out in front of the Wee Center, so I was able to get them off without a fight.

She had a WONDERFUL first day, and I am so excited about her school year! I think she’s going to love it!

Oh I wish I was…

Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Wiener…. Ha. No, but really. The wiener mobile made it’s way to Birmingham, and of course we HAD to go.

Aunt May and Alex decided they would come with us for the occasion.

Aunt May was VERY excited to not only see the Weenie Mobile, but to get her Complimentary Weenie Whistle.

We had TONS of fun, and got enough pictures, stickers, and Weenie Whistles to last us a lifetime. Ha.

Grammy Came to Visit

Ryan’s mom…aka Grammy… came to visit us for a couple of days. We’ve been very low key and have been mostly just hanging around the house. We ventured out for a little bit of shopping yesterday, and then today we went to downtown Birmingham. We stopped by this pretty little park to snap a few pictures.

My sweet girl.

Addie wasn’t wanting to sit still for pictures. As usual.

Addie has had LOTS of fun with this visit, and I’m sure will be excited to see her Grammy again soon!

Rainy Days

We have had SO much rain in Birmingham lately that it’s just ridiculous. While some people may love the rain, we are not those people. Addie likes to be outside. She was NOT happy when we were stuck inside all afternoon. So, we went out on the front porch and watched the rain. And caught the raindrops. And got soaked. However, Addie had fun. And she stopped whining. Which was fun for me!

Here’s hoping for some sunshine tomorrow!

A little iPhone Picture Catchup

I thought I would load a few pictures of the last week from my iPhone. I try and take pictures throughout the day to send to Ryan or my mom, but rarely ever do anything with them other than load a few onto facebook. So I’m going to try and start posting some of them on here more often.

Trying out the new “GiGi’s Cupcakes” with Will (she’s QUITE the lady. Ha. We WILL be working on manners…)

A PERFECT example of why I don’t let Addie dress herself. She picked this out all on her own. Haha.

Aunt May came to watch Addie’s last ballet class of the summer.

Perhaps THIS is the key to getting her to smile for pictures when I want.

I was in the kitchen making her a sandwich. I heard her laughing, peaked around the corner and saw this. (As soon as I took her picture, I pulled her down and explained we do NOT climb stairs that way…)

We are living in a house with QUITE the little Diva.

She LOVES playing dress up. And these stupid bunny ears. Which she INSISTS everyone wear with her.

And E and 2.0 came to visit. Apparently Sawyer is VERY funny. Elias and Addie LOVE them some Baby Sawyer! And he just sits and grins from ear to ear at the attention. So Cute!

Ballet…Week 8

Today was Addie’s last day of her Summer Ballet Class. She has LOVED it, and we are so thankful to GiGi for getting her started in dance. Miss Lori was SO very patient with these little 2 year old girls, and I am super excited that Addie will have her again starting in September!
