A Great September Weekend!

We are glad to be back into the swing of things around here.  I am feeling much more relaxed about the start of the school year than I have felt in a long time.  Nya has been adjusting to her new Pre-K class pretty well.  Still working on listening...her teacher has informed us that Nya is now trying to avoid doing what she needs to do by untying her shoes...the teacher in me knows that we need to get this under control by Kindergarten.

Well, we have had a great weekend.  Nya was excited as usual for her sister to come visit with us.  Daddy took the girls go-kart riding on Friday.  Now all that I am hearing from Nya is that we are "Team Go-Karts"! 

Kwesi has a real obsession with the fairs and it's that time of year.  I have been trying so hard to avoid them but we stopped by the Prince George's fair on Saturday.  None of us were impressed (Kwesi included) except for Nya.  She enjoyed the rides and games.  I don't think that we will be back to that one next year.

I am trying to make it a priority to get Nya into DC more often.  I really want to visit more of the museums and monuments.  So today Nya and I made it to the Museum of Natural History.  It is one of my favorites.  Nya really enjoyed herself and the trip exhausted her!

Nya watched this video about anteaters at least 5 times...but she learned a lot of information!

1st Day of Pre-K 2012

So school started again on 8/27/12 for Nya and my students.  Nya was much more excited about wearing her uniform this year.  Also, she was really excited about wearing her new Chucks instead of the plain Stride Rites from last year (maybe because Daddy had a matching pair of Chucks).  Her school, Mount Jezreel Baptist Church School, has new teachers in Pre-K and Kindergarten.  Nya's teacher is new to the school.  At first Nya was devastated that she would no longer have Ms. McRoy again.  However, she seems to be adjusting well.  The new glasses seem to be working out well too!

Pretending to feel sad about the first day...
