Evelyn's first day of pre-school

Today marked Evelyn's first day of pre-school! Exciting, amazing, and sad. Exciting for her, amazing that I have a child old enough to attend school and sad because I have a child old enough to attend school! Ha ha!

Andy and I drove Evelyn to pre-school, arriving around 8:10am. Since Evelyn had been to visit the school in the recent weeks, she was a bit familiar with the place and knew right where to place her Tinker Bell backpack or as Evelyn calls it, her back-back. Evelyn joined the teacher and a few other students over in the play area, so Andy and I took this to mean she was comfortable and we were okay to leave. As we were leaving, we did hear one girl start crying, but it wasn't Evelyn! Thank gosh! Evelyn will attend pre-school two days a week for only 3 hours at a time. Andy and I will be the ones who drop her off. Between her two grandmothers, they will have the pick up time covered! Thanks Grandmas!

Evelyn told us about her first day and showed us papers she completed at school. It appears they have already started working on the first letter of the alphabet (A...in case anyone has forgotten) and the number 1. Evelyn also showed us a paper with her name on it. They have already started to teach her to copy her name from an example of her name. Evelyn is well on her way to being a highly educated 3 1/2 year old!

I am sure there will be more posts to come as Evelyn progresses in pre-school!
