Addison's Open House at Carolina Kids

Since Peyton didn't arrive on his due date (October 4th), we were able to attend Addison's Open House in her 3K class at Carolina Kids. It was a lot of fun. She showed us the artwork she's worked on lately and they did a little craft. We got a folder with the work she's been doing and they did circle time as a class to show us what they do every day.

They practiced doing their sign language alphabet, saying their vowels in English and their colors in Spanish. They did their pledges and songs - Pledge to American flag & My Country Tis of Thee, Pledge to Christian flag & I'm in the Lord's Army, and Pledge to the Bible & B-I-B-L-E. They helped read a story and did their dance to the Boogie Walk. It was really cute. The Chick-fil-A cow came too so Addison got her picture made.

We had a great time and it was good to see what she does at school and to hear what the teachers had to say about her. They call her their "little perfectionist"! The first thing she did when we came in was to go and take the window clings off the door and straighten them. They were falling leaves and they weren't "straight." Ms. Stacy says she also goes around straightening up the rugs and puts all the nametags back after center time. Here's some pics and video for you to enjoy.

Thanks to Ms. Joan, Ms. Stacy, Ms. Danielle and Carolina Kids for the great work they do with Addison and the other kids. She really enjoys going there and being with her friends and teachers.

Addison is a BIG SISTER!!

The day we've waited for so long finally arrived! Addison has been asking "is it fall yet?", "is it October yet?", "when is baby Peyton coming?", "he's taking too long!", etc. The big day finally arrived on Friday, after he didn't arrive on his due date and I went in to be induced. It went a lot faster than anticipated and we welcomed this sweet baby to the world at 6:31am on Friday, October 7th. Peyton Marshall Werts weighed 8 pounds and was 19 inches long. Addison adores him and enjoys kissing and holding him. She is so proud!
