First Day of "School"

That's my little girl, all ready for her first day of "school"!

Preschool here starts as early as 2 1/2, and is funded by the government after they turn 3. Since Madeline's almost 3, we decided to go ahead and start her one term early. It's easier to get the days and times you want when they start in September, apparently. She stays from 9:00 to 12:30, and has lunch there (hence the lunch bag). She'll be going twice a week; on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Thursday the 3rd was the big day. She had a blast--I could barely get a good-bye kiss from her, as she was too anxious to go start painting. All evidence when I picked her up was that she'd done quite a bit of painting that morning, as she had paint from head to toes and everywhere in between!! They had warned us not to send them in "nice" clothes, as they do play messy. According to Madeline, she also spent some time on the trampoline, and made lots of new friends, although her social skills are such that she didn't bother learning their names. All things in time, right?

Hopefully she will continue to like it as much as she did her first day.
