alligator starts with the letter 'a'

today, i worked in grace's preschool class. we had tons of fun learning about the letter 'a', apples, alligators, and much more. when we came home from school and we were getting lunch ready, gracie says, 'alligator starts with the letter 'a'!' then, she made the letter 'a' in sign language. i really think she loves learning at school! while i was working, i was able to snap a picture of her and ms. barbara. grace loves ms. barbara and thinks she looks like nana. i think it is because of the dark skin and hair. also, ms. barbara's personality is very much like nana's personality. they are both very fun and love to sing silly songs! :) i am glad that grace was able to associate ms. barbara with someone she loves so much because it helped them become fast friends, and she wasn't too afraid to go to school by herself. well, here is the picture!


yesterday, we got raegan's halloween costume. we have decided that we will all be characters from the wizard of oz. grace will be dorothy (nana is making her costume), raegan will be the cowardly lion, i will be the wicked witch, and bryan, the scarecrow. well, i tried the costume on raegs (it looks super cute) and then, grace wanted to wear it. i think she is getting really excited about dressing up! she keeps asking if she can wear the red sparkly shoes!


also, yesterday was grace's second soccer class. again, they worked on dribbling and then also learned about passing. she is pretty good, but i think she got a little tired towards the end of class. it was pretty hot! you can see her red cheeks in the picture (she gets that from me...) next week, they will be working on goalkeeping!



our good friends, dan and cathy fong, went to china in august for a trip and brought back grace and raegan some little china dresses. grace wore hers on sunday (raegs was sick and didn't go, but we will get a picture with hers soon). everyone thought she looked so pretty in her red dress.
