off to great places, take 2

 Today it was Stella's turn today to have the first day of school excitement, all the pictures, walking into school for the first time with a new backpack and new shoes.  And although she was nervous for about a minute, that quickly faded and turned to excitement once she got settled in with some play dough in her classroom.  She has the same classroom and same teacher that Jack had when he was three. Stella was just learning to walk when Jack started preschool, so she has been toddling in and out these doors for two years already.  Her teacher commented how fun it is to watch the little ones grow and then get to have them in her class.  So hopefully this should continue to be a smooth transition for everyone.

 

Jack seriously does half the work for us with getting Stella ready for these new adventures.  When it was time for her first dentist visit, he told her how cool it was because they have a playroom and get to pick out a prize.  He also told her in great detail all about preschool, how much fun it is, all the cool toys, and fun things you do there.  And the best part is that Jack does this without us asking him, he's just genuinely trying to help his little sister out (and maybe thinks he's a little cool because he knows all this stuff!)

 We feel so lucky to have such a great little school so close to us to provide Stella with a wonderful first experience to learning what school's all about.  Go get 'em Stella, we know you will do great, have so much fun and learn a lot!  We are so proud of you!

 first day = a success
