Viv's Last Day

Vivian Loved PreSchool with Miss Dana in Jonesboro.
Her last day was a game day, and Elora got to skip school to come.

Miss Dana is putting Viv's Champion Badge on

And here's one for Ellie.

In this game you have to soak a sponge in a bucket of water and run to an empty bucket and squeeze your sponge into it. Then you relay to your team mate and try to fill up the empty bucket before the other team fills theirs.

Little Dipper

Next is Tug-a-War


What a great game day and a happy preschool year for Vivian!

The Fun Forest

On Wednesdays there's a play date for Vivian and Levi in the mall at the "Fun Forest". Levi has recently graduated from climbing around my legs while I chat with friends to exploring in the woods. His most eager pursuit is the tunnel. He likes to crawl through at turbo speed and then look back and see if mom or Viv has followed him.

Here's Levi giving the sick snake some feel-better pats. The play area is sponsored by Saint Bernard's hospital, so some of the animals are portrayed with some kind of ailment (notice the thermometer in the snake's mouth). I think if I were surrounded by a snake that size I'd feel a lot better if it were very, very sick, in spite of its wide, shiny smile.

This time Vivian is in hot pursuit with a horsey gallop so vigorous I worry that she'll wear out both her knees and the carpet. Levi senses that the game is afoot.

I don't know for sure if Levi is kissing Viv's feet, but I do know that Viv is sitting on a very pink armadillo.

And now jumping.

The toys are kind of soft and sticky, so they're fun to climb in bare feet.
