Homecoming 2008!

It was homecoming week at Mahtomedi this week, so I picked up the kids from daycare and brought them back to school to watch the parade. Before the parade began we hung out in my classroom. Zander climbed right up into a seat and had a snack.

Zander was fascinated by our alphabet chart, prompting both kids to use the pointers to read the poster. Must be in the genes!

Mary did Zoey's hair--I think it is so cute! Zoey has never even let me try to fix her hair. Now she says that only Mary can do it.

Zoey was excited that her old daycare friend Justice was at the parade.

She was also very excited to see "her Annie." Annie takes care of kids from time to time. Zoey and Zander really like being with her.

Check out Zander's eyes as he is fawned over by all the girls.

I have never set out to take similar pictures of the kids. But every once in a while, I take a picture of Zander that reminds me of a picture I took of Zoey. We moved our couch away from the railing by the stairs, now that Zander is a full blown dare-devil. I made it into a little book/toy corner. Zander found it right away and has sat there a few times today to look at books.
Here is Zoey at around the same age looking at books by the bookshelf in her old room.
