Rock Stars Daily News: Tuesday, January 26

This email from Emma Claire's class was particularly cute. They attached a video clip of the class singing their "Bubbles" song. Emma Claire wanted to watch it over and over when we got home that night...

"The Rock Stars had a good day!

We had a good morning, full of playing, reading and moving! The horses were busy again today, they were carrying loads as we have discovered under the rocking horse, that there is a perfect spot to store toys, dolls and animals! When the toys weren't being hauled around on the horses, they were busy in the sensory table, on the slide and in the book corner! Our toys received a lot of love today! Several of our friends held a small rice party in the kitchen, the moved the chairs to the sensory table and dished out rice for anyone that would take it. Another hot item today was the peg board and pegs. We really like stacking them!
Our song today was about bubbles, so for art we did some bubble paintings! The children had a lot of fun making prints with the wands! They all tried really hard to blow a bubble and have it land on their paper, it was a very entertaining (and messy) art project!
We made sure to sing our bubble song at circle time today, we video taped it so you can sing it at home too! It was our favorite song this summer. We sang some of our other favorites by request and ended with a story. We read "A Little Peace", it's one of our favorites because of the great pictures inside.
We did not get outside today, but we did go on a little church safari. We spent some time in the gym moving our bodies before we took a walk all around the church! We visited the basement and worked on climbing up and down the ramp! We also rode on the elevator and visited the pastors on the fourth floor. We wrapped up our field trip by walking through the sanctuary and looking at the pretty lights and stained glass! We all did a great job with our whisper voices in the church, passer-bys were very impressed!

Have a great night,
Kelli, Rachel, Nicole and Mariah"

We are well into 2010 and I realize that I have no record of the past 2 months. The last time I posted, I had no idea I was expecting Kadue baby #2! So, lots to catch up on. Now that I am 13 weeks into this one, I am turning the corner and feeling like doing something other than napping in my spare time.

Emma Claire is more fun by the day. Lots of chatting and energy. She has completely taken to the idea that there is a baby in my belly and gives it "big hugs" and kisses and likes to talk to my tummy. She informed me last night that baby had a poopie diaper...isn't that nice :-). I have no doubt that Emma Claire will be a very attentive and "helpful" big sis.

She came along with me to my appointment with my nurse midwife yesterday. Wasn't sure how this would go, but the nurse took lots of extra time to make Emma Claire comfortable. Emma Claire heard the baby's heartbeat and got to use the little "microphone" to listen herself. I was able to get a little video on my phone. Emma Claire talked about "baby's heartbeat" for the rest of the day and listens for it on my belly.
