Devin loves preschool. He is itching to get out of the car when we pull up into the drop off line. His teacher brought him out today and said he had a great day and that he is a pleasure to have in class. She also told me he is a comedian and told her a knock knock joke today. Devin, " knock knock on the door" Miss April, "who's there?" Devin, "It's Devin, you silly gooser!" Haha, I was just laughing so hard when she told me this. We do not really tell jokes at home yet so I was cracking up that he got that from somewhere else. She said she and the other teacher were dying. He got circle crackers today with orange juice as a snack. It is so funny to hear how he describes stuff. Not crackers or Ritz, but circle crackers and I think he was bummed that he got orange juice again.
After I dropped Devin off, Riley and I went and grabbed a cup of coffee and sat outside for 30 min or so until her tumbling class started. She 'talked' to a few other patrons sitting outside in the shade and of course showed everyone her belly button. It really is a button because she has a protruding out-ie. Her tumbling class was sponsored at the community center out in Henderson near Devin's school. The center is fantastic with all sorts of classrooms designated for different classes. They had a cooking classroom with stoves (reminds me of that Friends episode when Monica goes with Joey and they make chocolate chip cookies), a spin classroom, pilates/yoga, pool, arts and crafts and a whole other wing I did not go down. They also have a three story rock wall in the center that I so want to conquer one day. The class was run similar to that of a Gymboree or My Gym Class. It started with circle time of songs and dancing and a skill. Now we are talking 18 mo to 24 mo old kids. Last thing they want to do is sit in a circle for 5-10 min when there is all sorts of gym equipment to play on. Riley LOVED the high bar (she hung for a long time) and the wedges. She likes doing somersaults and backwards rolls. Being only 17 mo she is a little young for a lot of the stations. She had no interest to walk on the beam or try a hand stand or cartwheel. I guess that will come with time.
After the class we had 45 min to kill before I had to grab Devin from school. Right around the corner from the community center is a park with a shaded playground so we went there. Today's high is only 96 or so and at 10 am it was cool enough to play at a park. We will get the 100's back tomorrow (gag!) There was one other mom at this park and her daughter was trying to play mom to Ri so we started to chat. Low and behold she is from NJ and her 4 year old daughter goes to Challenger on MWF! Small world. Her husband is from Southampton, she is from the Freehold area and her sister lives in Medford. We of course had the talk about if we found decent pizza/bagels/hoagies out here. Its hysterical that Las Vegas is SO small of a place. We exchanged numbers and she still has her 609 number as well. Oh they are Giants fans too!
