Little Miss Preschooler

Audrey started preschool last Tuesday and thinks she is big stuff!  She was a bit apprehensive about staying in her class without me but didn't cry when I left her thankfully. 

 She's awfully proud of her new backpack.

 She found her cubby right away with Miss Kimberly.

 As soon as we got to her classroom she went straight over to check out the class pet, a hermit crab, and immediately opened the top of the cage to "let it out".  Thankfully her teacher was standing nearby and quickly closed the cage back up.  I'm sure she made a mental note too about needing to constantly keep her eye on Audrey.  You never know what this curious little girl will think of next!

She's enjoying school as they get to paint and cut with scissors everyday which she loves to do.  The only thing she hasn't liked is that they haven't gone out for recess yet and that's the main thing she was looking forward to as that's what she hears big sister Anna talk about often.  The preschool has an abbreviated schedule the first two weeks where the class is split into two different groups and each group goes for only an hour to ease them into the transition of preschool.  Once she starts going full time next week she'll get to have recess.  She'll be one excited little girl when that happens!
