Hi everyone! It's been awhile since we gave you an update on how we are doing at daycare, even though Mommy keeps saying she is going to. Well, daycare is wonderful! There's lots going on, for each of us. Here goes...
Avery - I started in the 2-1/2 year room (the Hummingbirds) in the fall. My teacher's name is Ms. Caite, and I LOVE her! She is awesome. She is the right mixture of sweet and strict. There's 8 boys in my class, so ya know we're a handful. Ms. Caite keeps us under control! I've learned lots of new things in my classroom. In the fall, we learned the ABC's, several nursery rhymes, songs (I love to sing!), and we have a new theme each month that we focus on. We learned about community service one month, about dinosaurs another month, etc. This winter and spring will bring on new learning adventures! We will be memorizing a new poem each month, and reciting it in front of the class. I love to learn poems and recite them at home, but I'm a little shy at school. We will also be looking at letters more in depth, recognizing short words, so we figure out how letters go together to make sounds and words. Cool, huh?
In other news, my ear tubes fell out. I'm doing well with them out. I got one ear infection in the fall, but am infection free this winter! Yay!! I also am doing lots of running (I like to run with Mommy), flips, summer saults, jumps, etc. My parents are looking for a tumbling class for me, but in the meantime, the couch is my friend in tumbling!
Berlin - I am growing up a lot! I moved up to the Toddler Room at daycare in October (the Mini Monarchs). My teachers are Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Brittany, and I love them! They love me, too! Who wouldn't? I started sleeping on a cot during naptime at school, am eating at a table with my friends, using a spoon and fork (kinda), and all sorts of other stuff! You all know I started walking at 10 months old... since then I've started running! I also like to walk backwards, climb up stairs, and climb off the couch all by myself! I'm also trying to climb on the couch, but I'm a little short. I'm so close! I'm talking up a storm, too! I say several words, including bye bye, puppy, kitty, teddy, hi, no, Bailey, Madi, car, ball, cat, bottle, book, and much, much more! With the baby signs I am learning at daycare, I can communicate pretty well.
Some things I really like include my brother, my puppies, books, my blankie, taking baths, and being flipped upside down. Some things I don't like so much include having my diaper changed and my highchair. I finally got my parents to put the high chair away, so I am happy to sit at the table with my family! Yay!
Well, we hope you enjoyed our update. We will talk to you again soon.
Hugs and kisses,
Avery and Berlin
