Hurray for Casey and Liam! Summer is here and they made it through their first year of preschool. We couldn't be more proud of them.
We ran into some challenging times about half way through the year when they both decided they didn't like school and didn't want to go. It took a lot of patience and thinking of different ways to get them to be ok with school...like stories and pictures about when mommy and daddy were little at school, sometimes staying for the first hour until they were comfortable with me leaving, and sometimes a promise to the candy store after school would do the trick. It got to the point though that I was exhausted of battling and so I called their teacher and told her we were going to take them out of school. She completely understood as she has twins herself but also tried to think of ways to help. It turned out after making the call Liam decided he wanted to go. So the next day Liam went to school and Casey stayed home as he was sick anyway. When we picked Liam up from school that day Casey showed interest in going next time. From then on it was smooth sailing for the most part.
Crafts for Miss Carmen
They had a great end of school party at the park with a concert by their music teacher Miss Sue plus a bouncy castles, bubbles and face painting. It was a great way to celebrate.
