Preschool Science Night

 Nadia's preschool hosted a Science Night for their students and their students' families.  They had booths throughout the school and it turned out to be a really fun event.  Nadia has blossomed so much at this preschool.  A few weeks after attending, her teacher told me she showed no signs of selective mutism and even occasionally gets in trouble for talking too much.  That's one misbehavior I can get behind!

Elsa was more enthralled with watching the people and enjoying her beverage.

We've been conflicted with knowing what to do with Nadia for her kindergarten year.  BYU also offers a fantastic kindergarten program and after seeing how Nadia has thrived in her current class, we don't want to let the opportunity slip by enrolling her in the public school.  There are also some fears of her regressing since the public school classes are bigger and there's more of a chance that she'll slip under the radar.  I want to keep pushing her to come out of her shell and not feel inhibited by any anxieties that she may feel.  That being said, Nadia has been determined to go to school with Rowan and keeps insisting on being able to walk to school with Rowan etc.  A friend of mine had the genius notion to put her in both schools as they have half day preschool here.  It never occured to me that that was possible and it has proved to be a perfect solution to our dilemma.  Rowan did really well with all day kindergarten and I know Nadia will do the same.  She'll go to school with Rowan in the morning, come home for lunch and then I'll take her to preschool at BYU in the afternoon.  A bit of running around for us, but since both schools are less than 5 minutes away, it'll be perfectly doable.  I'm really excited for her!
