Ella
The girls have been working on many things at preschool over the last few months getting them ready for kindergarten. With each thing they master they get a certificate of completion that goes in their "graduation" book that they will bring home at the end of the year. I haven't gotten to see this yet so I am very excited. They have each mastered their letters, shapes, colors and counting to 10. Emma is also part of the "100 club" which is counting to 100 with NO help. Ella is almost there....we have been practicing. Counting to 100 is not a requirement but something fun for the kids to work on. This doesn't need to be mastered until the end of kindergarten so there are no worries if Ella doesn't get there just yet....just the pressure of knowing that Emma has already done it. They also had to recite The Pledge of Allegiance which is so cute I wanted to share it. We will be having parent/teacher conferences for kindergarten readiness later in March. In fact, I have already registered them for the school year starting in fall but I don't think it has quite set in for me yet. The girls are very excited though!

Finally!
Taylor's Date....
...with daddy. Friday was the father/daughter dance at school. This was the first one so we weren't sure what to expect but Taylor had great fun! She got to get all dressed up, hair curled and even a little make-up (lip gloss and sparkle face powder). Daddy even got her an arm corsage to wear. Each girl got a long stem red rose, punch and cookies, a waltz dance lesson and their picture taken. Emma and Ella are hoping they do it next year so they can have a date with daddy, too.
