Kari's First Day of Preschool!

Both girls, ready to go!

 Today, Kari started preschool!  Wow, is she really old enough to start preschool??

This year we chose to try a different school called "Little Lites."  It's actually one I considered originally with Emily, but since we joined the Y, we ended up sending both she and Christian there.  But, now that we are no longer members, I wanted to try it out once again.  We have had so many friends who have said really wonderful things and, based on Kari's first-day report, they were right!

Isn't this picture just too sweet?!

On the front steps, trying her best to give me a natural smile :-).

Ready to "just go in, Mom!"

Kari was very excited, and very brave.  When we pulled up to her school, she said, "Ok, Mommy, you can go now.  I can walk in by myself."  I said, "I'm pretty sure your teachers want me to come in to drop you off."  Rolling her eyes, Kari says, "Okayyyyyy...."

Her teachers are Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. "A" (she has a long last name.)  They both have a lot of experience and are also very sweet.

When I picked her up, she was singing the "Hello" song and told me she really liked it when they sang, "Hello, Kari."  And then they painted and played play-doh and learned to sit in a circle all together.  She said they also played outside and that she got all sweaty.  (We're having a heat wave and it was 80 degrees at 8 a.m.)  Oh, and Kari also insisted that she has preschool everyday, rather than just twice a week.

I think she's going to like this whole preschool thing...
