She's a Preschooler!

Yes!  It has happened!  Our tiny little baby is a pre-schooler.  Today was her first morning at The School in Rose Valley.  She'll be going three mornings a week.  These first five pictures are pulled from their website to give you an idea of how magical the place is.  

And here are the real pictures that I took yesterday at Orientation.  There are guinea pigs!  Here's Oly holding Gypsy Rose.

Those little creatures are saints to put up with these kids. In the picture below is her classmate Ethan and teacher Robin. 

Painting with classmate Scarlett.  In 1.5 hours she made probably 9 paintings. 

And here are pictures of the big day!

Kissing Papa goodbye while having smoothies and waffles for breakfast.

Dressed and ready to go!  How cute is this kid?

"But Mama now my socks are warm rain mittens."

 I dropped her off with no tears!  From me or her.  She gave me a kiss, said "Bye Mama!" and even brought a toy to a girl who was hysterically crying.  I went to the library, the bank, the laundromat, the dry cleaners, the post office and back to the laundromat.  And then I read a magazine while I waited for her in the car!  I love pre-school!

Here's a photo of when I picked her up.  Robin said she did a great job and was a joy to be around.  In the car ride home she wouldn't tell me a thing about what she did, who she met or what they had for snack.  It's a secret Papa and I hope to discover after the epic nap that she's taking right now.  She did come home with paint in her ear and sand up her nose- so it had to be a good day.
