Gracie Goes to School

Gracie started pre-school today! She was very excited when she woke up, but trying to get her out the door by 8:30 proved to be a bit of a challenge. Let's just say she likes to take her time eating breakfast and getting dressed. I really tried not to be too pushy, but I had to gently prod her to HURRY UP! She really loves this dress and the matching shoes, and I do, as well.
Check out the cute backpack Aunt Chachi gave her. Here she is--all ready to go!And, just one more picture before we head into the building.

Gabby and Ella accompanied us so they could see the new school and meet Gracie's teacher. Gracie was very quiet when we walked into the classroom, but she didn't shed a tear. As usual, her first stop was the potty. She has a strange fascination with bathrooms and likes to check out the potties at any new place. She was thrilled to find that the potty at school was just her size! After that, a nice handwashing was in order, and she loved that she could reach the sink.

And, after a brief goodbye (again, no tears), this is how we left her. She calls these "boy toys" and wanted to try out the school ones.

Just for fun, here are some pics of her first day of Mothers Day Out last year. She's grown up so much!

Madalyn is as slow as she can be when it comes to eating and getting ready. Now that we are at real school we battle it everyday. They must be go-with-the-flow kids.

Your children are beautiful and love checking out your page to see what y'all are up to.
