Jill's first day of preschool

We went to visit Jillian's preschool on Saturday so she would be familiar with it when we came Monday morning. Her teacher happened to be in the room setting up and we got to meet her and show Jill around a little. She loved playing on the playground.
So did Carter!! Here he is with his military regulation hair cut. His hair grows really fast and he likes to put food in it when he's eating. Buzzing makes hair cuts less frequent and food easier to remove. We can't decide if he looks more like he's recovering from Kimo, recently escaped from Auschwitz concentration camp or a boot camp recruit, but I still think he's cute.

Monday morning all ready for school!! She got a new backpack and was very excited to take it. She was feeling a little nervous about school but we talked about it a lot, prayed about it and Christian gave her a blessing before he left for work and she had a wonderful time. It really seemed to help her calm down. It was really neat.


Carter got to spend lots of time at Grandma Parke's house while I dropped Jill off at school and went to the parents meeting the last 30min of the day. Her teachers are great. One has been there since 1985 and she is so nice. Jillian went right in, found her cubby and was off playing without a worry. Her teachers told me she was great and fit right in. She made a new friend and painted, made a glittery star and got to take her paws (tiger) for show and tell. Parents are required to volunteer 3 times during the session so I am going with her on Wednesday. She just passed through the room and told me she was glad she went to school! She is definitely ready and excited. I think this will be a great experience for her:)!


We dropped Carter off at Grandma Parke's and had a special cookie before heading off to school!

YUMMY!

I know, I can't believe I have a child old enough to go to preschool:)

I am so glad to hear Jilly loves her preschool! I knew she'd fit right in and have a great time. I got to say hi to her on the phone two days ago and she told me all about it! I love the pictures--oh, and I am going to have to say Carter looks like he's recovering from kemo! HaHa

I can't believe you are starting the school years of raising your children! You have such cute children. It must be so relieving to know that Jill was so comfortable at school.
