Etta and "Her" Preschool

Etta has been so excited for Preschool to start. On Tuesday they had an Open House. Daddy stayed home from work for the morning so we all could go and meet her teachers, explore her classroom and get her familiar with some classmates.

All ready to go see her preschool class

A very happy Mommy

A very proud Daddy

Just the happiest kids, you can see it all over their faces!

Cute pictures of Daddy taking Etta to her class

She was a little shy at first talking with her teachers and then she noticed 2 stuffed animals, princess unicorns! Then she explored all the different stations from the dress up to the craft table, and then she saw the "Etta" sized toilet and she thrilled. Gibby had fun in her class room too. He found the station about transportation and he was in heaven playing cars.
After we left she would tell Gibby about the fun she would have at Preschool and Gibby would tell her about "Vroom, Vroom Cars."

Etta's First Official Day of Preschool

We had the opportunity to put Etta in an older class with more 4yr old's and 2-3 older 3yr old's so she is now going 3 days a week. She couldn't be happier and I am glad to have her learning at a higher level.

All dressed up for her special day

Gibby wanted a picture with his sister

We headed off to school yesterday for the first day of school. Etta had been dressed for school since 7:30am when she woke up, she has afternoon class now with 3 days a week. Gibby was excited but didn't really know why. He just saw how happy Etta was and knew there was something new happening. When we arrived she went right in, said Good bye and started playing.

Bye Mom

Gibby and I turned and left and that is when it hit Gibby. "Where is Detta?" is all he said until we got to the car. I told him she's at preschool and he did not like that at all. Once we got home and I played with him cars and balls, he started liking the idea of just him with Mommy. I tried to put him down for a nap but he was excited to just play "gibby's self".
When it was time to go back and pick up Etta he was extremely happy and kept pulling my skirt towards the door. On the way there he fell asleep and missed picking her up anyway. Silly little boy.
I was 4 mins late and will never be again. She was the only one in her class. But when she saw me she had the biggest smile on her face. She went and got her handout and was very proud of her "scared" face man.

She just loved the art work she did

We headed over to get some Ice Cream as a little after school treat but she asked for Jamba instead, what a health girl we are raising. Gibby woke up and gave Etta a big hug and they enjoyed their Jamba's together.

Nothing better than a great healthy after school treat
