School in Michigan doesn't start until after Labor Day, and preschool usually starts a couple weeks after that, so Kate started preschool today! We were unsure how she'd react to going. I knew she wouldn't cry because she is too stoic for that. There was, however, a definite possibility that she would cling and tell me not to leave.
That didn't happen, though! She did so well! She was very quiet, of course. (She did not speak one word at the Open House last week). But she sat down and started playing with a puzzle. She was really happy and proud to be the one to bring the snack for the first day. :) (She chose apples, cheese sticks and apple juice).
I love this picture of her. Perfect capture of Kate.
She picked out her own backpack. It is adorned with a little plush of Darth Vader and one of those Julius monkey name tags.
Kate and Daddy
Kate and Mommy. So early in the morning.
Her snack for the class.
Kate and Steve are in the same class. Steve was showing slightly more enthusiasm than Kate. She plays it pretty close to the vest :) But I'm sure they are both going to have such a fun year!
(It was rainy and cold for their first morning, which was a bummer, but they were happy to wear their rain jackets).
Kate is in preschool! Oh my gosh! We are so proud of her!
