Preschooler

My baby is officially a preschooler now. I can't believe how fast the past 3 1/2 years have gone.  She has been loving school and comes home wired for the rest of the day! 

This was the day of her orientation when she got to paint handprints on her bag and see her school for the first time.  Little excited ya think?
 
I had to snap a picture as we were walking on her first day- she just thought she was the coolest thing ever :)


No hesitation at all- bye mom!

They made this life-size drawing one day at school and she was so proud to come home and hang it up.  I ooooed and aaahhhhed over it for quite a while and made sure to hang it in a spot where Daddy could see it right when he walked in from work.  After I thought we had given the due recognition, I told her I had to go change Carli's diaper and I would be right back.  While I was in the girls' room I heard her start crying and wailing dramatically.  When I came running out asking what happened she replied that, "Daddy won't think I'm cute anymore!"  I repressed my giggles long enough to ask what she was talking about.  She then pointed out that Daddy wouldn't think she was cute because her eyes were crooked!  I had to explain that her teacher had done her best, and her eyes were really perfect in real life even if the eyes on her picture were a little crooked!   She must have warmed up to the poster because she insisted on wearing that same skirt the next 3 or 4 times to school- she must have decided it was her uniform or something...
Carli even loves Blue's school.  She pointed out the window one day when we were driving out of the neighborhood yelling "preschool!"  And she was exactly right :)
I love that it is close enough to walk.  Blue likes to think she is just like the big kids that ride their scooters to the elementary school :)
