Preschool Rocks!

Last week big brother started school, but this week it was the girls' turn!

Tuesday morning, Lila woke up with a big smile.  Why, you ask?  This was her first day of preschool!

She has been visiting NSLC with the big kids since she was itty bitty and it's finally her turn to go have fun there, too.

She was thrilled that her daddy said he would be able to go walk her into her new classroom. 

Since Maddie had been to meet-the-teacher with us the other night, she led the way into Ms. Kristy's class.  Lila followed right behind her--such a big girl.

We found her cubby with her sweet picture on it...

and then the girls went right to the sand table like moths to a flame.

She was having so much fun that she didn't have much time for goodbyes.  She had a great first day according to her teacher, which you know I loved hearing:)  She ate most of her lunch (sandwich, chips and yogurt) and laid down during nap time, but in no way took a nap.  Funny story about recess, though.  Her teacher said right when they got outside, Lila told her that it was too hot and she wanted to go back inside.  Ms. Kristy told her that they still had 15 more minutes and she should just play.  Apparantly little diva girl didn't cause a ruckus, but she really didn't want to sweat, so she just stood in the shade until it was time to go back inside.  She has just recently started telling us "I'm sweating, let's go inside," and I guess she wasn't shy about sharing her dislike for stinkiness at school, either!

This morning it was time to send Madison off for her last year of Pre-K!

I think she was a bit nervous this morning before we left, but by the time we got there she was all about school.

Right when we walked in the girls said hello to the fish...

then they headed down the hallway to class.

We think Pre-K is going to be an awesome year for Maddie!

She was one of the first kids there, so she got to choose her school supply basket (pink, of course!) and fill it with crayons, a pencil and glue stick.



Before we left she was already lost in thought about what she would draw for her first assignment.  The paper said, "This summer I..."  I just bet her drawing will involve some waves!
