Pre K Performance

Here is Megan's class' performance from last night

Megan's Preschool Program

Megan's Thanksgiving Program was last night. Here is her class' performance of "Feather bed". They did an AWESOME job. And she LOVES her teacher, Ms. Debbie
Her classmates lined up are Abi, Megan, Mia, Ethan, Jaidyn, Saelah, Dylan

Her bestest friend in her class is Dylan (and he is a cutie!)

My crazy girl

Megan went for her 4 yr check up. Before we went, we were talking about what she was going to show the doctor what she can do. She tells me "I can say the alphabet backwards." It was the first I had heard of this...so I asked her to tell me. And I'll darned if she did it (best as I could tell since I don't really know it backwards!) I'm guessing this is what she thinks about when she's SUPPOSED to be going to sleep! :-)



So, the star of the show...doing the alphabet backwards.
Crazy, wicked smart.
I have 2 very smart girls. I am scared. Seriously.

Megan's Spring Program

My favorite part is at about :20 where she looks at "H" next to her and says "Ms. Britni, he's singing SO LOUD." Then promptly covers her ears. Too cute.

Months of the Year

Megan learned the months of the year at school. She has been singing it for months, but just recently decided it was okay to do it with us (and the camera) looking!

My singing sweetie

Megan Painting

Here is Megan painting, but she calls it "hand prints". For good reason.

Our favorite story

Here is Megan reciting David & Goliath. You may need to listen to it a few times, she talks so fast!

What cuteness!

Megan's vocabulary is just...adorable. There are times that my brain has to move VERY quickly to figure out what her special names are for different things. Well, here's her word for cucumber...

Singing

Here is our precious one of singing her favorite songs.

Playing in the Sand

Megan loves to play in the sand. Its been really nice this week, so I pulled the sandbox out for her to play in. As you can see in the video, she doesn't really "play"...but I'll let the video speak for itself.

It's a White Christmas!

It snowed here last night and was cold enough that it stayed overnight!
So we headed out in the snow...
(good thing the hat & gloves arrived on Wed!)

First School Program

Megan's school had a Thanksgiving program last night.

Here is her performance.

Elmo song

Megan LOVES Elmo. This is her playing with stickers...Elmo stickers. She doesn't want to do any other types of stickers, ONLY Elmo stickers. Did I say she LOVED Elmo? If you ask her if she wants to do stickers, she says "Elmo stickers!" And did I mention that she LOVES Elmo? Yep. I think I mentioned that.

Counting some more!

Here is Megan showing not only how to count to 20, but that she can hold up 2 fingers!

We've been busy around our house. The house went on the market this week and we are trying to keep it picked up and clean. What a job!!! We've had a couple of people look at the house, but no offers yet (thank goodness!). I honestly didn't realize how NOT ready I was to sell my house until I got the first "can so-and-so come showthe house tonight?" I really wanted to say "NO! I don't want to sell my house!!!" Of course, there are HUGE benefits of being back "home"...family...okay, that's the only one. And I'm sure the house we find up there when the time comes, we'll love, too. Eventually. We put so many hours into our house to make it the way we like it (minus most of the flooring), I'm not really ready to move on, yet. But, it'll be fine, I'm sure. I think God knew I was going to need some serious transition time with this huge move. DH is still looking and applying for a few jobs. So far, there's not really anything that jumps off the page. And there's not been any interviews. THE job is obviously not ready for us...or rather all of the things that need to line up are not ready for us, yet. Selling our house is only step 1, and we both feel that way. I really don't WANT to move into transitional housing, but truly, I'll survive. Heck, I've survived at lot worse. Can we can say Arkansas??? Geez. But that's another story!

Megan is doing awesome at school. She loves learning, so she's doing really well. Her teachers are really great. She doesn't even so much as sniffle when I leave her now. She's also been napping there. Of course when she does, she only sleeps 60-75 minutes, which is about half what she needs, but at least she is napping. Sometimes those evenings are tough, but we make it through with everyone looking forward to bedtime!

Her new favorite word is: umbrell-ell-llaaahhh. It's really cute to see her say it. In fact, when we were at the store this morning, she kept saying she saw umbrell-ell-las on signs that had kind of an umbrella type look to them. I could see where she could think that, especially if she was looking for them everywhere! She is also making HUGE advancements verbally. Putting words together, saying short sentences, saying what she is thinking. All these months of us constantly talking to her has finally paid off! She's communicating so much better now. Heck, she's made huge changes just in the last week! She keeps changing and growing. Sniff, sniff. She's not a baby anymore!

Counting to 20

Here's Megan counting to 20...

ABCs

Megan reciting her ABCs

Letters & Sounds

Here's the long version of her celebrating...

Yeah, the video

Megan celebrating...
but it's short one..
a longer one to come.

Itsy- Bitsy Spider

Megan loves this Itsy-Bitsy Spider song. Here's she's doing the actions while we were on our way to the zoo.

Other things...she says "day" (thanks to her Signing Time Video!) and just babbles all day long. Most of it has "irish" or "sh" at the end. Most commonly heard is "hel-whoa, I-rish" or "bub-ish" or something similar. DH noticed this morning how much she says these things--all morning (and often day) long. Yep, once she's saying more words...it will be NON-STOP talking!

She can now say every letter of the alphabet when you show her a letter (except U). Some of the letters she still says the sound (I mentioned "G" earlier) others include "B", "F" (which really is the sound of her blowing her nose in short, quick puffs-I can't think of a better way to describe it...make the noise for yourself...it DOES make sound the letter "F" makes), "P"...when she says "W", it sounds like "dub-(unidentifable sound)-this". This game has been a LIFESAVER when she's bored...the doctor's office the other day...the car if we're all in the car (thanks to magnadoodles!)...the store (I carry a small notepad, pen & crayons in my purse)...it actually comes in quite handy!!!
