It's Time for Preschool!

Our Siri Girl had her first full week of preschool last week and loved it! When we went in for the initial "Meet the Teacher" meeting, she didn't want me to set her down, and wouldn't make eye contact with the teacher, so I was a little nervous. 

But, I didn't need to worry. Here is Siri at 6:30am the morning school started--we had to convince her to take her backpack and boots off to eat breakfast.


Hooray! Time to get ready in the car. Well, almost. 
Siri was outside, waiting for Annie to be ready, for fifteen minutes.
 ...waiting...
 And then, finally, after dropping off Annie at kindergarten, we headed to preschool.
Siri was happy to greet the statues (but wouldn't look at me for a smile).
 And, to enter on her own...
 ...Finding her bunny cubby...She wouldn't stay still!
 She is in the Spruce Room, and has loved everything about school thus far. They've gone to the bee apiary to watch a bee keeper take care of the hives, to the farm to watch Farmer Don take care of the goats; she's played in the log house (her favorite place to visit when Annie was there), and has loved imaginative play in the classroom. It's been a blast to here her talk about things, and see her big smile upon arriving at school.


My sweet preschooler

And, Annie has been so excited for fall to be here. Whenever there are any leaves on the ground (not much, obviously at this point) she wants to head out and rake them up. She continues to love kindergarten, and we're starting to hear her work German into her daily vocabulary. 
 Annie's big news of the week? Her first tooth fell out during morning snack on Tuesday! I don't know how it stayed in so long, I've thought it was about to fall out for weeks. But, of course, that didn't diminish the excitement. Here she is with her tooth fairy pillow!
