Valentine's Day!

I took Friday off so I could go to Gwen's valentine's day party at her daycare. I know it's not a huge deal when they are little, but I have missed the Halloween and the Xmas ones and I really wanted to see one at least!

It was cute. Almost everyone in the school was wearing red/pink. Each class had some type of decoration on them. The infant room got necklaces with hearts on them that said "I (heart) U" and of course, Gwen ate hers, lol. They had a parade inside through all the classrooms, all met in the largest room where each set of teachers of each class sang 2 songs for/with the kids. Gwen was so excited during the singing, she was laughing and bouncing on my leg...loved it!





After the parade/sing-a-long each room had their own valentine's party. This was an interesting time because this is when I found out that daycare had been giving Gwen goldfish crackers, cookies, fruit loops, lucky charms and cheerios at parties. This is not a HUGE deal to me, but being that I NEVER said it was OK to do this, I am a little shocked it has been happening. I didn't want to put a damper on Valentine's day so I just said, "we are OK with her eating things like that as long as it is small enough and she can choke on it." Honestly, we had not given her ANY of those items yet so I was a little mad about it inside. Oh well. She eats well and has 6 teeth...if she wants a fruit loop at a party in daycare, I am OK with it. I just need to make sure they are not giving her these treats everyday...I don't want that.

The cute part was how all the kids stood around the table in a circle eating their little treats...Gwen stood right up there with them, too! She is actually the 2nd youngest right now so I was pretty shocked she acted so "grown up" lol. They said she sat at a chair during a birthday last week for someone in the class too, good girl!




There is a funny story with Gwen and the swing at daycare. They never turn it one for her because she gets it going herself. I knew she did this, but to SEE her actually do this was hilarious. I HAD to video it. Check it out, and remember THE SWING IS NOT ON!!!!



I also took some more pics of her art work. They have a bunch of it hanging around her room. It is so cute!





Gwen is in the middle...I guess she didn't want to play with any other color that day so they let her just blob down the bluish color, haha...such an attitude!



And finally, Jason got me flowers! He had them sent to my work. First time I have ever gotten flowers at work! I actually took them in to the meeting room for everyone to see at lunch, LOL! They were beautiful and I loved the, :)
