Genna & her friend Max at our first kindergarten orientation - SO exciting!
They gave them a bag full of fun stuff like balloons in school colors, a badge, a pencil etc - she loved it!
One of the kindy classes came in to lead the group in a few songs - good fun. Genna's up in the front row with her friends.
Next we got split into smaller groups and went into one of the classrooms with a teacher.
He did attendance, read them a story, then they got to do a craft. She was MUCH more confident and comfortable than I thought she would be - SO proud :)
Last weekend we hosted a birthday party for my second mother's group - to celebrate the first birthday of Max & his friends
A few big sisters came too - Genna was happy to have people to play with her close to her own age :)

Present time! We did a lucky dip :) Everyone brought 1 unisex present.
Genna helped Max open his
Ed was happy about present time too :)
Busy play room with six 1 year olds!
Phew - some time to play by myself!
Max had a great time I think :) He was happy to show other babies his toys (but wouldn't hand them over!). He only got upset once when he saw someone playing with his favourite ball, but then went over & snatched it & all was well again :)
You both had SO much fun (this is just them waiting outside the gates before the class)
Later that afternoon we went to the park. This was just before we went to the slides. Genna went down, then I went down next with Max between my legs. His shoe caught on the slide and my body weight kept us going. He cried but stopped after a bit so we went home for a nap. But when he woke up he couldn't put weight on it without crying, so we went to the hospital.
It was a long wait that night, so the next morning after xrays he was exhausted and took a nap in his stroller while we waited for the ER doctor to put on a temporary cast.
The temp cast (backslab with bandages technically...) Poor baby :(
I can still play though!! Dump the clips out, put them back in - my favorite
A few days later we got in to see the Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon and he had a hard cast put on - as pain relief and to keep the leg still so it can heal
Genna looks very serious here - but they were having a blast outside in the sun. The car is something that he can 'do' outside, even with his leg.
A few days later Grandma arrived - we were VERY VERY grateful for her help - and she brought along lovely presents & presents from Joni & Gigi (so much fun coloring this Joni!)
Sibling love. she was SO worried about him, but now is just glad he's ok and can't wait for him to get his 'big bandaid' off so he can take a bath with her again.
So sweet (and such good writing!)
He's still happy as ever though - has just adjusted to having the cast. HOPEFULLY 2 weeks from Thursday he'll be healed enough to get it off. And we will NEVER be going on a slide together again, sigh :(
Genna asked me to do a plait (braid) across the top of her head like a crown & a pony tail
she was very happy with the result :)
I love that little hair tuft - we went for lunch at the rsl
Big boy in the stroller :)
I'll take that cup Genna!
He's getting so good at throwing balls :)
Someone found how to reach the monitor!! It's attached to the end of the crib - we may have to move it up on the wall now!
Very proud - she traced the words & drew the pictures all on her own ;)
Family dinner - only missing Dadda - but it was fun to sit together
Checking out a local park
These swings were great for little ones!!
Swing in the 'spiderweb' swing with Genna
GORGEOUS Minnetonka moccasins on Maxi - thanks Joni :)
Genna decided to make this one day so she could play 'Christmas Day'
her favourite holiday of course!
LOVING this discovery toy!!
At the mall the other day she spotted these 'horses' you could ride - so cool!
Unicorn!!
I have a new phone (not happy about how unclear the pictures are!) I also get stuck on a certain page sometimes and I cannot figure out how to get it off the screen - Genna decided to try and help me :)
And all his walking progress - before the broken leg drama :( Oh well, doc says he'll pick it up again when the cast comes off no problem!
