She is a big girl...

Today I left Tatum at pre-school. Yep, that's right I just dropped her off and I think it is going to be a long 3 hours. It is parent participation pre-school but I am only required to be there one day, and my work day is Tuesday, I think it is time for her to be without me. We talked about it yesterday and the drive to school this morning but as soon as I was leaving she said, " No mommy, play with me." I told her I had to go and she went off to play with friends. She made it through the day with only one small 'meltdown' is what I was told, she's growing up and we are so proud of her.

Isn't she cute!

PRIVACY PLEASE!!!

This is how Tatum escapes. Hides. Plays uninterrupted. Up the ladder and out of Lincoln's reach!

MIttens and Snowman Party

Yep, another class party!

Snowman treats for the party

We had a break from the rain and Mrs. Morales sent the kids out for a
run to get their wiggles out!

I think the favorite of the meal was the powdered doughnuts!

Fire Safety

We learned about fire safety at Tatum's pre-school, and the class took a trip to one of Redland's Fire Stations. The firemen that helped with the field tip couldn't have been any better with these kids.

My little chef/baker/party planner

Tatum likes to make sure everyone is fed. Even at this moment, as I type she is making me a play-do salad. Isn't my birthday cake beautiful (below). No, it is not my birthday but Tatum thinks the only reason we can have cake is for a birthday. Anyway she spent about 20 minutes preparing this spread. She got the ingredients from her little fridge, mixed them in the mixture and then baked it in her oven. She made sure I had a spoon as well as a glass of milk. She was so proud of her concoction and watched as I pretend ate every bite!
