Who would have thought....

...that my daughter who is hesitant of SO MANY things....

would CRY because 

swimming lessons 

were over???

Day #3 of swim lessons and Molly looks like she is having a lot of fun!!!  She is floating on her own, blowing bubbles, and spending the entire time in the water!

SO....she is hesitantly walking to me after lessons....walking REALLY slow and with her head down.  I wrap her towel around her and here is our conversation...

Me: Did you have fun at swim lessons today?

Molly: NO!

Me: Well it looked like you were having a great time and you were smiling A LOT!

Molly: I DIDN'T have fun swimming today!

Me: Why Molly....what happened?

Molly: My teacher said we had to GO!

Me: Honey, lessons were over and it was time for other kids to get to swim

Molly: BUT...I didn't WANT to go!  I wanted to keep swimming!!!!

Me: Well, we get to come back on Thursday and swim some more.

Molly: I want to swim more NOW!

Me: Well, it's time to go honey...let's get your suit off and dry off

Molly: CRYING, Lots of TEARS, and a 3 year old temper tantrum!!!

So....Molly LOVED swimming lessons.....but HATED having to get out of the pool!

I might just have two swimmers someday!

Chicks!!!!

Molly and I went to see the baby chicks this morning at Theisen's with Emily's daycare kids.  Molly thought they were cute...and even touched one! :)

 Molly was all excited to touch a BABY chick

She loved the little chicks!

Songfest

Kelly has girl scout SONGFEST tonight.  It is the 100th year anniversary for girl scouts so all the Dyersville troops had a special celebration tonight.....complete with ice cream sundaes!  Each troop sang a song!  They were all really cute!

I'm a little Daisy, dressed in blue.

I am a girl scout, you are too!

When I go to meetings, I sing and shout.

I love being a Daisy Girl Scout!

Miss Molly

Molly has become very picky about clothing since she turned 3 years old!  She only wants to wear nightgowns (princess ones) or dress up clothes.  It is a daily struggle to get her into clothes!  

**Sidenote - she is ok with swim suits though!

This morning, as I was working on the computer, she decided she would bring her chair in our room so she could be by me.  As I looked over at her, this is what I saw...

...Snow White dressed up while playing her leapster....oh, and the dress up included wearing my wedding shoes!

And then she gave me a SMILE!

Angel of the Week

Kelly truly enjoyed her ANGEL week in her Kindergarten class!

February 27 - March 2

Here she is by her Angel board that she made!

She made 5 boards:

* Family

*Friends

 *Things I like to do

 *My favorite foods

 *What she wants to be when she grows up

Swim Lessons - Day 2

The girls both did amazing at day 2 of our spring swimming lessons!  Molly continues to amaze me!

Royal Reader

Kelly has enjoyed her week as "ANGEL OF THE WEEK" in her Kindergarten class.  She has one more day of fun tomorrow!  Today she was able to pick a special adult to be her ROYAL READER!  She asked Grandma Peggy to come and read to her class.  The Royal Reader gets to wear a beautiful crown and a purple sparkly cape....FUN!  Kelly was so excited for Grandma to come to her class.  Kelly picked out a couple books (Barbie and Pinkalicious) for Grandma to read.  They both had a great time!!!  Grandma Peggy was the first GRANDMA as a royal reader for the class.  All the kids thought that was cool!!!

Thanks to her teacher, Mrs. Wubbena, for sending me these pictures!!!
