First days of preschool 2009

This year BOTH girls are in preschool! We switched to a new school, Bethany Preschool (a Lutheran school) and so far are very happy with it! The girls also seem to enjoy going to their new school! On Thursday 9/3 Kaylynn had her orientation where she met her teachers and got to explore her classroom. Friday 9/4 was Loren's turn.

The first days of school began after Labor day!! Kaylynn started first on Tuesday 9/8. She goes for 1 1/2 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I wasn't sure how she would do, she can be a little clingy to mommy sometimes, but she was VERY excited to go to school!! She knew where to put her backpack and walked right into her classroom like she own the place!! After her school day was over, Loren and I were there to get her and she came out with the biggest smile and was SO excited to tell us what she had for snack (it was goldfish)!! She drew pictures for me and really liked being a big girl at school!!

The next day, Loren had her first day. She also was very excited, and really liked that she could bring a show-and-tell item! She chose to bring Tinkerbell to share. Loren likes going outside to the playground and when they have the dress-up stuff out! She is really enjoying her new teachers and is very comfortable at the school!! She also is making new friends and actually is asking to have play dates with them!


Below are a few pictures of the girls on their first days of school:
