Today was Larkyn's first day of 3 year old Preschool! She was so thrilled to start school today. Larkyn had her outfit picked out for weeks so she knew exactly what she was going to wear today and got herself dressed. She was so excited she raced through breakfast so she could go outside to take her picture.
Camdyn got in on the action too. She wanted to be just like her big sister!
After dropping off Camdyn at daycare, Larkyn, Shea and I went to Caribou for a "coffee date" as Larkyn likes to call it. On our way we passed our church where she goes to preschool and she was so excited to go that she wanted to go right away and be the first ones there. We convinced her that we should make a quick stop at Caribou and that it was a special treat! When we got to Caribou she was teaching her own Preschool class how to write Dad and Mom.
Finally it was 9:00 am! We arrived at Preschool and Larkyn connected right away with her buddy Luke. They are both in the Sunshine room/class together.
She got to explore the classroom and found herself spending most of her time in the kitchen. Hmm...not surprising! She fed the baby her bottle, made breakfast, and even dressed up with rings, necklaces and a skirt. Another little girl came into the kitchen area and Larkyn asked her right away "What is your name?" Already off to a great start in making friends!
One of our tasks was to measure how tall she is and how much she weighs.
Larkyn is 40 inches tall and weighs 36 pounds!
Luke loved feeding the monkeys bananas!
Larkyn connected with a gymnastics buddy, Tessa, who is also in the Sunshine room.
They had a great time playing at the sand table.
Larkyn's Preschool Day...
Each child has the same bag for bringing things to school and taking things home.
The bright Sunshine room!
What a great first day! The teachers were so warm and welcoming to the students and parents. The classroom set up was great and the information was very helpful. We feel very blessed to have Larkyn in such a caring place to learn more about Jesus, being a good friend to others, following directions and learning MANY new skills! When we came to pick Larkyn up after the parent meeting her teachers said to us that she is Miss Personality. We weren't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but they did follow it up with "She was social with the other kids and telling them 'it's okay, your mommy and daddy will be back in a little bit' after some of them cried when the parents left." Who would have thought...our little lady who once cried every time we dropped her off or left her is now the one consoling others and helping them through that process!

What a trooper! Another one of Mom's crazy picture ideas from Pinterest!
We couldn't leave out the "baby"! Miss Camdyn has been very into books lately. She loves to "read" and flip through the pages. It wont be long and she will be off to Preschool as well!
One day at a time...
"What are you looking at?"
