Preschool, Friends and Cousins

I'm the photographer for our co-op preschool and this week I brought the camera in to take a few shots. Here is Josie at the water table. Josie likes all parts of preschool but probably her favorite time is the circle singing time. She rushes through her last few bites of snack to be one of the first kids to the circle and the beloved scarves
After the scarves the kids normally sit in their parent's laps. Since I was taking photos this week, Josie decided to sit in Teacher Sara's lap. Soon after she sat down her two good friends, Lowen and Bryn, joined her.

Josie's new thing is hide-and-seek. She is getting better at hiding but hasn't really figured out that just because she can't see us doesn't mean we can't see her! Here is one of her "hiding spots" Pretty creative but still needs a bit of work.

Last weekend Josie and I spent a few days up in Bellingham with the Wileys. Both Andrew and Jonathan were great cousins to Josie. She had a ball playing with all the big kid toys and with her cousins. Jon read books to her and both boys shared their toys with her and made her feel a part of the family. Thanks, Wileys!!

Becoming a nightly ritual: Ring around the Rosie in German.


She has been into her "knock knock" flap books lately. While reading it she has to tap on each door before opening the flap. She also has been putting herself in closets or behind doors and demanding we "knock knock" to find her.
