Preschool Begins

I love this time of year. I love the weather getting cooler, seasons beginning to change, and the start of school. It must be my "inner teacher" in me but I love the start of the school year. It announces change, new responsibilities, new teachers, new friends, and new schedules. I love being at home with my girls but was awaiting with anticipation for Greta Banks' first day of preschool. We started the morning with a special "Happy 1st Day of Preschool" breakfast, with a candle and all, and even had first day of school cookie treats that afternoon for snack. In carpool, it was sad to see her leap out of the car heading to her class. She's really growing up and establishing her own independance. I was a little teary but also so pleased she LOVES going to school!

All she had to say about her day was that her teacher asked her to sit in her seat just like mommy and daddy do at the table (we're still working on that...I swear the child has ants in her pants) :-) On another note, I was so proud of Greta Banks this week. She wrote her name by herself for the first time. She did completely without being prompted...she's truly gifted! We're starting AG classes next week ;-) I love you sweet baby....to the moon and back!
