Little Miss Chatterbox

I had a chance to chat with Jordan’s lead teacher at school… I don’t get a chance to have quiet one-on-one time with her often. The classroom is FULL of assistant teachers and kids. And right now the classroom is down a part-time employee so that leads to a very overwhelmed lead teacher. So I…

The holiday fun keeps coming

Jordan had a chance to perform holiday music with her classmates yesterday. Her school held an after-school family choral performance (on a pre-school adorable level) and potluck dinner. So cool. Here’s one of their songs: I love this school. The kids are so creative and have so much fun. I feel very lucky to have…

A simple tracing…

A simple tracing looks so darn cool when it’s Jordan. This is Jordan with a pony tail… Her teacher traced her and Jordan added the brown decorations. I dig the spiky hair:

New school year…

But Jordan didn’t really notice. It’s kind of strange to start a new school year and Jordan didn’t move classrooms at school. That’s the cool thing about the development lab she attends on campus. She has the chance to work with the same teachers until she goes to Kindergarten. The kids in the room range…

Good news all around

I took Jordan to meet with her pediatric orthopedic specialist this week to make sure she doesn’t have any anomalies in her hips or spine. We decided to take this step after her physical therapist was concerned about a number of tiny issues with Jordan’s physical abilities and structure. It was so great to watch Jordan bravely…

A few more firsts… and no time to talk

First I want to apologize to all of Jordan’s fans. I haven’t been online as much as usual… Mainly because I made a HUGE change in my lifestyle over the last month. I’m working out 6-7 days a week. I joined a really nice gym and I’m even running my first 5K on Saturday. It’s…

Stage Mommy Pride

Yeah… We had another big dance performance for Jordan. It isn’t the Nutcracker (since we’re at a new school now) but it was a great experience anyway. Jordan did a wonderful job and I have to share the video for you to see: Jordan Dancing in her Recital from NerdyMom on Vimeo.

While I was in China…

The first night I slept in Shanghai I left my phone on… Silly me since there’s a 14 hour difference. I happened to notice my phone buzzing and decided to answer it. The person on the phone was from a preschool where Jordan was on the waiting list. Apparently there’s a chance for her to…

School picture 2008

I think they shot the picture a little wide — notice all the space around her. But Jordan flashed a sweet smile for this year’s school picture. I bought the picture CD, but they only gave me this tiny size. Oh well. Since we got back into town early enough – Jordan and I are…

The school year so far

Jordan is starting to warm up to her class… It’s funny how she reacted so negatively to her new class when she had one teacher that she’s had since April and she’s in the same room. The trick: one new teacher and only two of the same classmates. We regressed a ton in the potty…
