I have had a VERY excited little girl in my household this week.
Tuesday was the first day of Pre-school!
Natalia is enrolled in a program offered at Pete's old school and after I visited last fall I was thrilled to have found a great program that fit our budget. There is a supervising teacher, around 12 student teachers (juniors and seniors), and around 12 pre-schoolers. It runs 3 days a week for 2 hours each morning, yet is early enough that we still have a nice amount of down-time together before lunch. (I was a bit nervous about getting out of the door with 2 kiddos by 7:45, but it hasn't been bad! Ask me in mid-January though and I may say differently.)
Mrs. B has been doing this for over 20 years, her program is one finely-tuned machine, and I love how she is giving her student teachers a real taste for what it takes to be an educator. Her love for what she does just oozes out of her, and I love her sense of humor.
Natalia's first words to me after I picked her up after her first day were, "I just LOVE pre-school and Mrs. B!" (I just knew she would.)

How fun!
What a blessing to have such a great program and teacher. And, kuddos to you for getting out so early. I found that to be the most stressful part of school.
We only have to do it once a week this year b/c I'm homeschooling but even that one day, I am screaming, "we gotta go. we gotta go. we're gonna be late. we're late now. we should have left 10 min. ago.....and on and on". ;)
Woo Hoo!!! What a big girl! Seriously, how did she get that much hair?!? I'm remembering your hair post with fondness...
