Preschool!

Nick got this one with his phone at Home Depot.  Sam knows where she came from :)

Today is her first day of preschool.  She woke up at 5:30 and so was back asleep at 7 when she needed to get up,which lead to some reluctance.  She figured out we were not staying and got upset and did not want to go to the point of much crying.  She finally came around some and let me get a smiling picture after no cooperation for a few pictures.  It did involve Nick doing a silly dance.  What a great dad and husband!

She said she was ready and we got everything together and got a quick picture.

                                      

She jumped right in and started playing.

                                    

Here she is with a friend from Music class and library.  One of the friends who came to her birthday party.  Her parents decided to send her at the last minute and they ended up in the same class.  We are very excited.  

                                      

Sam did great until she realized it was time to leave.  Then she started crying and trying to cling to my leg.  We went with the rip it out quick method and just handed her off.  Her teacher is sweet (well both of them are, but only one held her) and had her mostly calmed by the time we got outside the building.  I called an hour later and they said she was doing great.  We will pick her up at 12:45 so she can get a good nap at home.  I do not think she is ready for a rest time at school since she still takes a long nap and needs it.

Tomorrow we are heading to the splash ground again for a lot of fun.  And we have a few things planned for this weekend.  Then everything is back up and running next week.  Nick and I start classes next week.  It is going to be a crazy semester!
