First Day of Preschool

I can't believe she's old enough, but today was Alex' first day of Preschool. She was so excited to go. She had met the teacher a few times already and really liked her. She also already knew a few of the children in her class. She simply could not wait to go to "schoo-woo"... her teacher had sent her a postcard a couple weeks before school started, and Alex carried it around with her every day until school started.  While at school, Rory kept asking, "Where Ales?"  Aside from that initial separation-anxiety, she and I had a pretty nice time together, just the two of us.  I love this special bonding time.  We went to pick up Alex, who had had a wonderful time and had much to tell me, and as Alex climbed up into her carseat, Rory squeeled, "ALEEEEEEX!!!"

Once home, Alex showed me the contents of her little backpack.  She had traced out her name, written down her nickname (she's been able to do that for a while now) and copied down some designs... she hadn't realized that she was supposed to trace the designs, too, and so she just copied them, which I thought was impressive :)
