First Day

R had her first day of preschool on Thursday. She is going to a wonderful play-based preschool program three mornings a week. R was very excited; she has been waiting for this day for two years now as she watched her brother go to the school.

C showed her around a little bit, even though she is very familiar with the school. He was so proud of his little sister; it was cute.

He gave her a big hug goodbye and wished her luck. She played happily as we left.


Here she is dancing with excitement about attending her second day of preschool.


I love this photo of R. She reminds me of Punky Brewster; I am not even sure why, something about her expression.
T also had his first day of school on Thursday. He is a seventh grader now. Time certainly flies. I am also proud to inform you that he made the middle school soccer team! Hooray!
In case you were wondering, C will have his first day of Kindergarten on Monday. He attended orientation last week, and that definitely helped to ease some of his anxiety. His teacher is wonderful and we are looking forward to the school year.

That is the sweetest picture of C giving R a hug in her classroom! I love the pictures you got on this day, they are all very memorable.

Aw, congratulations - they're so cute. So, what did YOU do while she was gone? Sleep? Clean? Walk around wondering what to do until it was too late? (That would be me).

I was wondering how R's first day went. It's great that she is so excited and does so well. I doubt that we will ever get to the point when Anna really wants to go, but at least she doesn't cry and complain - big improvement in comparison to last year :) Congratulations on T making the soccer team too.
