And so began another chapter in the life of Ashton today. It was his first day in preschool.
To be honest, it all happened so fast. ...Not just the part where he was a baby like yesterday and now he's a preschooler.... but just the initial signing up and starting up school in general came so unexpectedly. We went to ask questions last Thursday, and 5 days later he is a student. ...Our boy. A student.
Last week at this time, we were praying. We prayed about preschool and if it would be the right decision for him.
With God's help; I know we made the right one.
It sounds so silly, a preschool that is held for 2 days a week for 2 hours. What's the big deal? ...How could it have been such a big decision? ...but it was. and it is with decisions like this, I sometimes wish that all I had to do is thumb through a parenting manual with all the perfect answers.
but of course, it doesn't exist.
And although a manual would indeed be very convenient from time to time, what would life be without the chance for us to find our own answers?
So in the meantime, we look to God. and we look to our children. ...As the beautiful individuals as they are. ...That is how we make our choices.
Ashton loved his first day of school. and we're feeling so proud tonight.
This will be so good for him. and I'm excited to see what more is to come.
OK, onto other things. :) I give you more of our Mudworks "recipes!"
So, we've found our first flop.
Yes, yummy dough was indeed yummy. but much like a lot of the other edible doughs we have tried in the past; this one was hard to play with.
and so, we went in another direction. Indoor snowmen. -What fun!!!
We played until the snow melted into large, lukewarm puddles.
I helped Ashton fashion his snow into a Christmas bear. ...The fork made me laugh. Ashton says it's because the bear was hungry; but I think he was just dropping hints as it was around lunch time when we did this. ;)
Josie helped me form her snow into a little snow kitty.
"Kitty Kitty!" she'd say while smiling. ...She just couldn't get enough of the frozen ice cat.
Ashton gives indoor snowmen a HUGE thumbs up!
Happy Tuesday every one!
funny, Josh spotted these pjs a mile away when we were at Walmart and he said Josie just had to have them.
Trusting God,
Jessica
