First trip to the zoo this year turned out to be as exciting as ever!

 

 

 

 

 

Anna Kate was the first person to guess an animal on a show we were watching all together as a family this summer.  You know what the animal was – a Meerkat!  Anna Kate is one lucky girl to go to such an awesome preschool!  We love Mrs. Paula and her “always in teacher mode” attitude.  It’s incredible all that she has taught Anna Kate so far; we are so blessed and so thankful Anna Kate has such a loving, happy, and intelligent environment during this special time in her life! 

 

 

The baby elephant has arrived!

 

 

Wow!  I can almost hear him Roooo-aaaa-oooo-r!

 

 

What is that on his nose?  Eww!

I can’t believe Anna Kate got up this close to the tank!  It’s awesome Mrs. Paula takes and shares pictures every week for us parents to watch our kids learning too!  So awesome!  Anna Kate and I always go through the pictures, and she tells me all about what she learned or was interested in or how she felt in each picture!  She explains a lot and fills in the stories that some of the pictures can’t tell. 

 

“The mingos are making a heart!” says Rose when she sees this picture pop up on the computer!  Cool, Rose!  She can’t wait to go to Mrs. Paula’s and talks about it all the time!  “I go to Paula’s too, Mommy, OK?”  We tell her when she is potty-trained we will ask (and she has to be 3), but Rose just smiles and says, “Nah!”

Anna Kate and Conner… sweet buddies, sweet pic!

What a beautiful day!  Thank you, Mrs. Paula, for always sharing the beauty of Anna Kate’s preschool days with all of us!
