Preschool

Posted on 
Danni started attending Primary Plus preschool this month. Her mother and I put her in here so that Mary-Anne could start working. The preschool seems like a well run school. It is really daycare with some schooling. It is in an only public school that they have bought and converted.

Danni is at a good age for this as she always likes being with other kids and making friends. I believe she is having some trouble though with some boys picking on her (little boys can be rough). She sometimes seems fearful and mentions that "Nicky" did something to her. I'm trying hard to balance between understanding her and trying to overly protect her and realizing that she must also learn to deal with other kids. I've alerted the teacher that somebody named "Nicky" may be picking on Dannielle and to keep her eyes open.

Meantime I try to explain to Danni that sometimes kids are a little to rough and sometimes they come around. I point out that Kiel, one Mary-Anne's former daycare kids that Danni grew to love, was originally rough with her. I'm not sure how much she understood but it did seem to calm her down somewhat.

Danni seems to participate well in class, whether making things or sitting around for story time.

Christmas

Posted on  December 15, 1995 Christmas 1995 was marked by me moving into a 2 bedroom apartment. As such my main focus was on setting up a bedroom for Danni. So her Christmas gift this year was a new, complete bedroom set. Obviously that would not do for a 3 year old so I had also purchased some other toys for her. I also decided to get the artificial Christmas tree this year. It really confused Danni because she was used to cutting down a Christmas tree as it was a Flood custom. I had to explain to her that we were gonna build a Christmas tree and that she could help. After some initial hesitation she got into it and help me put the tree together and decorate it. Danni came over after spending Christmas morning over Beama's and opened her presents with reverence. She really knows what presents are and how to open them now! After doing that I told her to put her toys into her room. She seems sort of fully furnished (something Daddy worked furiously on putting together the day

Potty Training

Posted on  August 9, 1995 Urged on by the chance to get to the "Big girl class", where Danielle's new preschool friends, Adam, Trevor, Marty, and Christine have when, Danielle has taken to potty training very quickly. It has surprized me how quickly and how completely she has become interested in the potty. She now even gets up in the middle of the night to go potty by herself! It is wonderful not having to deal with diapers any more and I can see the sense of accomplishment and the pride of big girl'ness on Danielle's face. Also, things like the bottle is old hat to her. Big girl is the label you must use for her or she gets upset.

Church band

Posted on  May 8, 2004 Recently Danni got accepted into the church band. It's pretty cool what Christian musician's are doing now a days. For Danni's birthday this year I got her a bunch of Christian CDs because that's what she wanted. She sings them in the car with me all the time. They are pretty good. Wish I had more time to learn them so we could do them together. Gotta get her to rip them and push them out to my server. Danni also recently got her computer up and running. IM'ed with here for the first time last night. Well I've IM'ed her before but this is the first time she initiated it.
