Favorite Color Swap

So I follow (read Stalk) a few bloggers who are also in Japan but different areas than we live (one is in Okinawa and one is in Osaka) and they unknowingly give me plenty of ideas for when I want to venture out those ways. Anyway....I was reading a post by one of those awesome ladies, Emily over at Love Me Like you Do, about the Favorite Color Swap that grabbed my attention.

 

 

 

Basically the favorite color swap is where they pair you with another blogger, give you their favorite color, you get to know them  little bit, then you send them some things in their favorite color and they do the same for you. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!!? Who doesn't love surprises?? Plus I get to network with someone new who I may have not even ever have heard of before. I love it and so of course I signed up immediately.

 

Don't worry I wont leave you hanging I will totally keep you posted and let you know how this swap goes.

 

If you want to sign up head over to Chaotic Goddess Swaps and get all the necessary details.

Worrying for no reason....as always

So as you know a little over a month ago now Logan started CDC here at Yokota. Before this he had been out of daycare for over a year while Isaac was in Korea and I had my awesome time as a stay at home mom.

 

 

I am not gonna lie I was extremely nervous about him going back to CDC. Especially since now he would be in the preschool room. Was he mature enough? Was he going to throw tantrums? Would he get along with kids in the class? Well I will have you know that all of my worries and stresses and frustrations were a complete waste of time. HE LOVES IT!  He wakes up every morning asking when is he going to CDC, he has a great group of friends that he spends all day with and he loves loves loves his teachers Ms. Laima and Ms. Daisy. I mean you would think he has been with them for years.

 

 

The only issue we have had so far is with nap time. I haven't had a kid who takes naps in almost 2 years and he's only 3 1/2 and so of course he wasn't a fan of the 2 hours daily CDC nap time but he does lay down and uses it as quiet time.

 

 

Ms. Daisy and Ms. Laima are both so amazing and I am so lucky that Logan ended up in this classroom with these ladies that care as much about his as much as I do. I am so proud of his transition and how well he has adjusted to his new surroundings and schedule.

 

 

On Monday I had his parent teacher conference and y'all I got the best progress report I could've asked for! He not only expresses his feelings to his teachers and friends, but he is caring and attentive to his friends. He plays well with his classmates, he is the snack monitor (!!!!!!!!!!!!), he knows our train station, where the BIC camera store he loves so much is, Where we used to live, where his cousins live and He even pours his own milk at meal times. He has some things he has to work on still like tracing his name and being able to identify all of his letters but we will get there. Overall I was so pleased with what I heard.
