School days

Immediately following her birthday, Piper graduated from the Dolphin room at school to the Sharks.  She was excited to move up, and has been doing an awesome job.  We love her new teacher.  In the Sharks, they get colors on a stoplight for behavior - one for morning report and one for afternoon report.  Blue is the best - a one-time listener, awesome learner and great friend. Green is very good, maybe needing one or two gentle reminders through the day to pay attention or be nice.  Yellow and red, well, we haven't had to deal with that end of the spectrum yet.  So far Piper is green almost every day and has had several blues as well!

One fun thing that happens at the girls' daycare in the summer is that the older classes get to go on field trips!  Piper had her first field trip last week and another one this week.  Last week they went to a place called Kelly's Farm.  It's a historic farm in Anoka, and they saw an old farm house, lots of animals, and even helped with some farm chores.  They took the "school" bus, so you can imagine how big and proud Piper felt :)

Today is a Water Day at TenderTime.  So Piper got to go to school with her bathing suit on under her clothes.  The Sharks will go outside and play with water toys and games during outside time.  Piper woke up this morning with her typical "Hey guuuuuuuuuuuuys!  I see sunshine coming through my wiiiinddddddow." Immediately followed by "It's Water Day!  It's Water Day!"  At first I thought she was saying "It's Saturday! It's Saturday!" and I was worried she was about to be hugely disappointed.  But nope, Water Day.  No disappointment at all, just sheer joy.
