Bella is 'Bringing It"....

Loved what Bella's preschool teacher wrote today. Thought I would share it with you now that she has been in school for three full weeks....

"Bella is doing great! She is now our loudest singer and she sings every song in Russian (we think). She is willingly imitating words and short phrases.

At snack she imitates "I want _________." She drinks lots of chocolate milk and usually eats a few of whatever we are having.

She is still finding and checking out all the toys. Today, she was playing with the Doctor kit and listening to hearts.

We love the galloping happy dance.

She is attempting cutting on her own and does accept assistance.

She has nice matching skills.

She is a little caretaker and tries to make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing.

She is intrigued with Logan's hair (Paula's note: he is African/American) and likes to touch it, so he puts his hood up.

Today we played with balls instead of riding bike. Bella ran and ran."


Whew! No wonder the little muffin is played out when she gets home! I am so happy with her progress and how she is adapting both at home and at school.

It sure sounds like Bella is "bringing it" every day! Go Bella!
