Starting school!







Well this week Skylar started school.
On Monday me and Phil took her to orientation so that she could see her classroom,meet her classmates and all three of her teachers.
We were only there for an hour and a half, but it was full of fun and excitement. Skylar didn't want to leave.

Two of the teachers came to our apartment a couple weeks ago to go over paperwork, and while here they took a family photo of us. So at orientation Skylar got to decorate a picture frame for the picture.I think I got more glitter on me than her though. It was fun.
She also got to sit on the magic carpet where she was read a story that was in both English and Spanish...yup that's right she will be learning Spanish in preschool.
Then it was playground time!!! They didn't really get to play. But cruelly they just showed the kids where they would be playing. They did get to play follow the leader on the play structure.
And today was her first day!!!! It was hard to keep her calm all morning until we went to the bus stop. Every five minutes I got to hear "Is it time to go the bus yet?"

We went to the duck pond to waste some time.

And finally it was time. So we went down stairs and got her friend that is also in her class and off we went.
I didn't even get a hug good bye when the bus got there. She rushed on the bus and that was the last I saw of her for four hours. When she arrived home, she was very tired. But from what she said it was a great day. She has been singing songs that she learned all night.
