Arilyn's 1st Day of Preschool

Today was Arilyn's first day of preschool! She was so excited and really couldn't have cared less if Shawn and I were there! She did great and I didn't cry!

The happy girl ready for her first day of school!

Addison had to pretend that she was going to school, too and had a backpack on!

She went right to her cubby and hung up her backpack.

I figured that it would be a struggle to keep Addison out of the room. She really wanted to go too. This is Arilyn pushing her back out of the door telling her she couldn't come in because she wasn't old enough.

Arilyn was completely comfortable and started playing right away. I walked over to her and told her we were going to leave. She said- Ok, do you want a hug and a kiss? It was hilarious. I was really glad she felt comfortable, but kind of sad at the same time! When we picked her up she wanted to know if she was going back tomorrow. She had a great day. Her favorite part was playing outside and playing at the sand table. I think she's going to really enjoy preschool!

I forgot to take a family picture before preschool, so we took one when we got home after lunch. (And yes, it was cold enough today for long sleeves- the high was only 68 and it was really breezy! Fall is on its way!)
