All About FJ

The theme this week in FJ's classroom is "All About Me."  In order to teach the one year olds all about themselves, the teachers have asked the parents to bring in a family photo, fill out a short survey about their child's current interests, and bring in one "Show and Tell" item that the child will recognize.

Earlier this week, Austin and I spent some time filling out FJ's survey and we enjoyed discussing her favorite things at this stage of her life.  Included below is a sample of the questions we were asked and how we answered them:

My best friends: My cousins Lily and Christian

(Although Felicity loves all of her cousins, she gets to play with Lily and Christian on a weekly basis.  When you see the joy in her eyes when she first catches sight of either Lily or Christian, it is clear that they hold a special place in her heart as her "besties.")

Felicity with Christian (Halloween 2012)

My favorite foods:  Hummus and Ice Cream

Austin and I like to joke that Felicity is going through a stage right now where her main sources of protein are hummus, greek yogurt and boogers.  Oh, the life of a toddler!

In all seriousness, though, she eats through an entire container of hummus every week, and LOVES doing so!

My favorite color: Pink

My favorite song:  Row, Row, Row Your Boat (*The Crocodile Version)

I wanted to find a picture of her doing the "Ahhh!" face at the end of the song.  It is truly precious, but alas, I have not yet photographed the moment!  I better add that to my to-do list!

My favorite sport:  Climbing

Austin and I really struggled to choose her favorite sport because she is so active.  Her hobbies include:

Collecting Grass....

Running....

And running really, really fast!

 

My favorite subject:  Physical Education (*See Comments to Sports Question Above)

Each night after dinner, we go outside as a family, eat our ice cream cones or popsicles and then enjoy some fun play time!  One of Felicity's favorite words right now is 'Side (which is short for "Outside" if you don't speak Toddler).  Tonight, our play time consisted of a condensed P.E. class - toddler-style.  The class involved a dance lesson from Mommy:

A golf lesson from Daddy:

 

And finished up with a tennis lesson:

 

Side Note:  The survey failed to ask about Felicity's favorite character (A: Minnie Mouse) or her favorite toy (A: Cell Phones - fake or real), but I wanted to note them here so we do not forget.

Felicity is growing up so quickly and has become such a unique, fun, outgoing little person.  I am glad that her school has provided us with this opportunity to think about who she is and what she enjoys at this moment in time because I know that as soon as I blink my eyes, she is going to have moved on to an entirely different stage and I do not want to forget one moment of her precious childhood.
