Volunteering in Jazzy's class....

Every Thursday morning, from now until the end of the year!!, I get to volunteer in Jasmine's classroom. Today, I sharpened hundreds of pencils, cut out letters for the bulletin board, and read with each child individually... Whew! Don't know how they do this every day. Emma and Jasmine ready to go to class, even though they no longer have the same teacher:(

Bell just rang. Jazzy at the front of the line. Mrs. Walker fixing someone's shoe:)

Working hard already.

Reading group with Mrs. Walker.

Labor Day Weekend...

We had a long fun day with Jenny, Abby, and Gadiel. First we went roller skating for about an hour, then to Bounce U in Gilbert for 2 hours!!, then out for ice cream. Gadiel was asleep in the car when we left... and Jazzy and Abby were not far behind. Totally worn out:))

Dentist and Dancing....

Today was our beginning of school year dental exam.... Passed with flying colors. Then off to ballet. The best part is getting all of the "stuff" afterwards.. new toothbrush, stickers, and a token for the prize machine!

Another eye exam.....

This time the exam was by Dr. Plotnik. He says that Jasmine's prescription needs to be changed because she still has strabismus (eye turn) and amblyopia, but Dr. deSimone says no. Ugghhh, I shouldn't have to be the one to decide this!!! I am sending Dr. deSimone some more photos of Jazzy with the eye turn to see if she changes her mind. If not, I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet!

Funny homework...

Love the pink bow in the dog's hair. I asked Jasmine

what the two boxes were on the bottom left? They are a water and food bowl:)

Studying the various beats.
