Daycare!

Whew, what a busy week it has been in the Schaack household!  Monday the twins started daycare at Principal.  Alena was so excited to have her brother and sister at her daycare.  Twice during the week, her teacher took her down to the infant room for a little visit.  She is a big helper when it comes to dropping them off and picking them up.  We get a lot of glances from parents as we bring in THREE children to the daycare!

Heading to School

The twin's teacher is Pinky and she is from India. She has been with the daycare from the day it opened so we are hopeful she will be with the twins until they turn one. That has been our only downfall with the center-lots of turnover!  Our email was showered with photos of the twins on their first day.  I think they had a great time and Caleb especially enjoyed the buggy ride.  They ended their first week with a fun art project.  Did I mention we love our daycare?!

Saturday, Alena had her first swimming lesson.  When I told her I had signed up her for swimming lessons she wasn't too excited.  So every week we've been talking about it to help her get over her fears.  Unfortunately the day before her first lesson, I realized I had signed her up for a more advanced class.  This is the kid who just recently stopped crying when I would wash her hair so we wanted her in the most basic class.  Justin took her to the class anyway to see if they could switch her to a different one.  Her teacher, Miss Flo, decided to go ahead and teach her, along with another little girl (who was much too advanced for the class).  Alena ended up having a good time so maybe it will work out after all.  Because I didn't expect her to actually swim, I didn't go and we didn't get any photos-guess we'll do that next weekend.
