Nic was saying yesterday that God has a wicked sense of humor by giving us a daughter like Belle when we're both so shy.
Belle and I went to tour a preschool last week. I will say I'm sure my face turned red more than once. First all the kids went and played with the toys and Belle did too. Belle found an alphabet puzzle and brought it back and sat beside me and loudly exclaimed "look mommy". Then another girl came over to play with the puzzle too. I could tell this girl was the overly aggressive mothering type of little girl, as she told Belle where everything went. And maybe Im used to toning her out, but the director had to come up to Belle and ask her to use her quiet voice. Red face number 1.
Belle went back to playing with a few outbursts. She kept running around with the girl and never initiated play with the boys. She kept calling this girl "milka" which is her word for milk. Strange. Then at one point I hear Belle yell "Excusa me" "I burp", to which all the parents chuckle. Red face number 2.
We toured a room that was painted to look like the mountains, complete with log cabin, waterfall and pond. Its where the kids go for story time and they have to find a lilly pad to sit on and bring it to the "pond". Adorable. Then we went to the gym and the kids got to run around like crazies. Belle ran around for a little bit and then decided that her belly hurt. She kept going up to the director, interrupting her and saying that her belly hurt. Red face number 3. I'm pretty sure she just wanted some attention from a new person. Cause we all know that Belle knows no stranger. It went on and on and was getting pretty ridiculous so I tried to sit Belle over by me while I filled out registration forms. I felt kinda rushed and hope that I filled out everthing. For some reason I just felt the need to hurry up and get out of there.
Oh the joy this fall when Belle starts preschool and I'm forced out into the open again. Belle will surely make it interesting. Why do I get the feeling that there will be many parent/teacher conferences in my future?

haha. I don't think you will have that many parent teacher conferences. Maybe she will tone it down by fall, or end up being one of those kids that is really quiet and good for the teacher and loud at home, you never know.
I'll tell you what child of yours that I'm worried about....and thats poor little Ethan. First he has crazy Belle to deal with at home then he has big bubba Brody to deal with in Ohio. He's got a rough life ahead of him! : ) I'll have to put a picture on my blog that is hilarious. Its of Brody and Ethan playing. But as I'm taking the picture Brody starts to fall on Ethan. So the picture is out of focus because I moved at the last second. But Brody and Ethan are in focus. Its a funny picture.
Excusa me, but I think she reminds me of myself and I turned out alright.....hee hee ;)
What fun you'll have! And, it might even make for a good book later on!
