First Day of Preschool

Kirkley had a great first day of preschool! She slept till 7:00am which is a rare occasion in our house -- the toddlerwise 7:00pm bedtime worked {or the blanket we have tacked to every edge of the window!}! We were thrilled to be sending her off this morning well rested!!

She was beside herself to see we were having back to school apple pancakes! She LOVES to dip them -- don't tell her it's low-cal syrup and Fiber One pancakes!

A few pics before we left...

More at school...

She keeps going back to this book on trucks when we go to her classroom. Glad to know she's familiarizing herself with little brother's territory! Once a few friends got there, she started playing more, and I snuck out the door. Then I stood at the observation window and totally lost it! She looked so big playing in her classroom!

She got a good report after school. Played sweet but was a little clingy to the teacher. Sounds about right.

After her nap, we carried on a tradition from Alex's family: chocolate chip cookies and lemonade on the first day of school. While she was snacking, I interviewed her about her day:
