Habitot Camp

During the last week of August just before starting Kindergarten Holly attended Summer Camp at Habitot with Tyler.  She had a super fun time.  Even though the theme was construction and she was one of the two oldest kids there they had a blast building blocks, creating, using tools, ect.  She had a lot of fun and it was super good practice for her to be away from home with new kids at a new location prior to doing the same before starting Kindergarten.

NOCCS Summer Camp

 This summer Holly joined Mira at NOCCS, Mira's upcoming Kindergarten for summer camp.  I wanted to get her used to going to "School" at a new location to prep for her own new Kindergarten, but thought it would be super fun to do that with a Friend.  They had theme weeks, Secret Agent and Detective.  Holly enjoyed it so much that even though Mira could not attend on the third week due to travel plans, Holly wanted to stay for another week.  It was fun meeting Mira's upcoming teachers and some of the kids she is now in school with.  It was really good practice for Holly learning how to be flexible and testing how she would respond to new kids, teachers, and environment.  It was great practice for Malcolm X.

Princess Camp!

Here is Holly ready to go bright and early in the morning!  We have Princess Camp every morning this week in Oakland.  Alas it's about a twenty minute drive so mommy has been getting up everyday at 8:00 to get her there in time.  She is attending with Leelou, Mira, and Alana plus several new princess friends.  On Monday  they focused on Cinderella and yesterday was Mulan.  She is do excited every morning trying to guess who the princess of the day is.  They start with open play in the gymnastics room.  But she has on her Tap shoes so at some point they learn dances and they do dress up stories.  They have been doing a craft each day, yesterday was a fan and sword in Honor of Mulan.  On Friday is a show, so they have been keeping the crafts at camp I suspect they might use them in the show. They have snack and ballet dancing and at the end if the day we pick them up in the little playground out back.  She is excited to pick out a different dance/ballet leotard every day and gets herself dressed long before it is time to go.  If only camp were closer to home I would have let her come all summer!  She I having a blast.
