First Day of Preschool

Naomi started Preschool on Tuesday, the 8th of September. I was so excited for her to take this first step into education! She was sure for a while that she hadn't 'grown up' enough to be a big preschooler, but she got over that very quickly. We went to her school on the Friday before labor day to met her teachers and classmates, and so that the kids could start getting used to the school. After that day she was really ready, she even asked if the bus would take her home from school (mind you, the IS no bus for the school, LOL!).
She's still very into dresses, so I let her wear a dress for her fist day. She also took her Elmo back pack which she calls her 'luggage'.
Here she is in front of her school. She is wearing a name tag she made on that Friday before school started. It is a piece of yarn with beads and a note card with her name on it.

Here is her class with all the Moms and Dads helping them with a project. They made Kissing Hands.

So what was the most memorable part of her first day? The treat they had after picking up the toys before they went home. Naomi told me that she had a red bean that was sort of spicy. It took me hours, but I finally realized that she was talking about a cinnamon jelly bean!

Ballet Recital

This picture sort of describes her attitude throughout most of the performance. The recital was at 2 pm, not a great time for 3-5 year olds, which most of the dances were...

One good shot of her. After this picture, I was only able to take pictures of the back of her head, or when she wasn't paying attention to me.
