Pre-School Part 1

She did it! After a long fit this morning, we finally got all dressed and happy and off to Quinn's first day of Pre-School!

For many reasons I decided to start Quinn in pre-school a year early. We searched high and low, and my favorite pre-school for her turned out to be the one across the street. Literally, it is the house I can see from my bedroom.

I have mixed emotions about today, but I really think Quinn will shine in school.

I dropped her off at 9 a.m. (walked her across the street with McKenna playing in her swing in the house), and then I will head over in a few hours with a picnic lunch. So fun. Each child was told they could bring a teddy bear to the first day since the school name is "Bear Canyon School." Quinn picked one out a week ago and has been sleeping with it every night. She even let me bring the dog-dog home after we got there.

So here are the pictures of the morning. More to come after the picnic!!

Woke up early and headed straight for a game with letters. This lady loves her letters.

After a healthy breakfast and a HUGE fit, she is all dressed and getting her things together.

She told me, "No pictures, mom," but if we were in them together, she got on board.

Finally is was time to head on out. Standard first day of school shot in front of the house!

She sat with Sam from church and did puzzles. Both the mom's looked on and waited for the "you can go now."

Then Asher arrived!!! Asher is one of Quinn's very best friends. Matchy, Matchy pre-schools!

Here is Quinn convincing Asher that pre-school is fun and not to be scared. (She also made her dad stay for a few minutes.)

Yay for pre-school. Friends forever!

Picnic shots to come later.

I, of course, am supposed to be spending this coveted time while Quinn is gone doing work.... I'd rather blog!
