Minuette Starts School!!

So after much debate and arguing and considering both sides of the coin Minuette has successfully started Junior Kindergarten.  Her start date was Thursday September 8, 2011 and is in the Morning class although she was originally supposed to be in the afternoon class. (Min is a night owl, not a morning chick) When her father brought her (I had just started a new job on September 6th, but that's for a different blog) she had saw another kid crying so of course she followed suit, her father had to stay in the class for approximately the first 15 min of the class. He states that she took to school like she was meant to be there.  When class started the teacher told the kids to all sit down on the carpet, and of course Minuette sat down with everyone else. The teacher then pointed at something and asked "Does anyone know what this is?" And they all raised their hands as well as Minuette. The teacher picked Minuette to answer. Minuette said "It's a rain cloud!" Which of course it was ..... Her father proceeded to leave as she no longer needed or noticed him there.  The following is some pictures from her first 2 days of school.

Summer Stuff 2011

Well Alot of stuff happened during the summer of 2011. A couple of visits to the ROM, Science Center and a few visits to Centre Island. Not to mention her 4th birthday Party (Thank you Dan & Maria for the use of your wonderful rooftop). Plus there were playdates with Sarah & Ben, Also Ewa & Jakob.  Also a sleep over at Auntie Janet's with her cousin Dylan and a trip to the Science Centre with him. Here are a few photos from several of these outings. Let's just say Minuette and I had a great summer before we both had to start working ...... her on her 1st year of school and me in my new job.... (but that's for another blog)
