Jessi's first day of preschool

On Sept. 14th, Jessica started preschool for the very first time!



Classic shot on the front porch.



Always have to get the pic in front of the school sign!



Here's a closeup of the drawing she did for her teacher. Can you find: Jessica? Mrs. Scott? Balloons? The bird's nest?




Cheesy kid playing with the play-doh. She walked right in with me, and did just great on her first day. The first class was only an hour long, with a parent there for 45 minutes. The director took us out for a short "meeting" (aka test run of separation anxiety), and Jessi did fine while I was gone.

She loved the water table!

This is what she always builds with Legos...a perfectly flat surface!

Not so confident when the teacher got up close! This is Mrs. Scott, who was also Megan's teacher when she was in 3-year-old preschool. Mrs. Scott is as close to Mary Poppins as they come - British accent and all!

On the next Thursday, Jessi went to preschool for an hour, all by herself. She did cry a little bit before going in, but she walked in all by herself. She had a blast! This past week (Sept. 21 & 23), the preschool held full sessions of 2.5hrs. Jessi didn't cry at all, she walked right in like she owned the place. She was a little worried that the class would be longer - thanks to Megan who pointed this out! But I told her it had to be longer to have time for painting, snack, and recess, and that was enough to get her excited!

Our baby is a preschooler, and loving it!
