Kindy Christmas

Today has been Kindy Christmas Party Day....Yay!!!

We've had a busy morning, to say the least. Ella got up early and dressed in her concert costume. Faith did her typical 'sleepy dog' routine. She's very very good at it!

Once we got out the door (after Ella whacked my car with a hammer...argh!!!) we headed up to Summerland to drop off Faith then on to Stars Kindy for Ella's Christmas Concert. I thought she had to be there at 9:15, but it turns out she didn't have to be there till 10 so we didn't need to rush afterall. Oops. Oh well, I left her there to have morning tea with her friends and  wouldn't you know it, Geoff's Emporium is straight across the road. So me and Seffy went for a wander over there....yeeyah, it had been about 2 weeks since I'd had my emporium fix!

Anyways, the show was cute. Ella's only there 2 days a week so she didn't get a main part in the nativity unfortunately, but she did very well being a 'child of the world' (lil maori girl).

She loved the costume but was so boggly about it that she kept running away when I tried to take a photo

Breakfast....dry cornies

The show about to start

Seffy was great in the audience. He sucked in my top the whole time

Parents squished in like sardines to see all the little ones. The turnout was incredible

No photos of Ella in the show cause she was behind some taller kids. But as soon as Santa came out with the presents, she barged forwards

So much nice food for the shared lunch (dunkin donuts, cake, sausie rolls etc). All my girl wanted was fruit, rice crackers and chips. She even broke down when I said she'd had enough rice crackers and should try something else....go figure!

All tuckered out from the festivities.

Then after that party was over, we gapped it to Summerland Kindy for their Christmas Carol's Concert. Faith had been chosen to welcome everyone, by saying 'welcome to our concert' to all the parents. She did so well....proud Mummy moment!!!

Not sure why she's got a grumps face. She was just about to do the welcome. Ella and the little girl on the right are both little kindy sisters. They were so funny yahooing around during the songs.

For the last 2 weeks there's been a child having their 5 celebration every day. I suppose they pick a day for kids who are turning 5 during the break and not coming back. They do 2 songs that involve choosing 5 friends to sing with them. Some kids cry when they're not chosen and it's real funny to watch them meltdown about it. Faith's always ok about it, but she had a smile a mile wide today when she was finally chosen

She gets little love notes on her lunch bags every day now

Yesterday Faith came to Spotlight with me before we picked up Ella from Kindy at 5pm. She was tired and was whinging at me to put her in the trolley. I kept saying no and then a lady who worked there came past and said 'you look like a big BOY, you don't need to go in the trolley with the lady'.....haha. I walked away giggling. When Faith asked me what was so funny I said the lady said something that made me laugh. It was only then that she clicked and called out 'I'm not a boy!!!!'

Had to get photo evidence of my girl doing the monkey bars all by herself....a momentous day

So chuffed with her accomplishment

Seffy's 1st day of pears & they went down very, very nicely

I'm so excited that the girls are growing up and getting involved in things. Going to their little events is really fun and I suppose there'll only be more and more as time goes on...cool!
