Parentwatch

So Annika's preschool has a camera system so parents can watch their children throughout the day. I have rarely used it but just needed some Annika while she was at school today. So, I logged on and saw her taking off her snow clothes by herself. She didn't even seem to get too frusterated. Wow! Next I watched her sit nicely for a full 20 minute circle/story time. I was so proud! Then it was lunchtime. I watched her sit pretty well as she ate-no milk dumping...hooray!!

Then the lights were turned off for nap and it was a whole 'nother story. I noticed Ashley, her teacher, sat next to her first to rub her back (I know what that means-she's a tricky one). She laid down pretty still for about 1 minute then just started doing gymnastics. She began kicking her feet and rolling off of her mat. Within about 5 minutes she "lost" her blanket (the teacher holds it until she rests quietly). 15 minutes into nap she was wrapped up like a burrito in her blanket and Ashley was rocking her. Oh man, my cute little Annika is one of those nap time kids. I feel so bad because she goes to sleep so easily at home. She even puts herself completely to sleep. I will have to get the teacher's extra treats for doing such a great job with a tricky napper.

All in all, it was great watching Annika at school. Kids are so different in other environments and it was exciting to see her sit through the whole circle time and lunch. And even though nap was a bit of a disaster I am still so proud of my little, tricky girl.
