Olivia goes to SCHOOL!

Today Olivia started Preschool! They had an open house on Friday to meet the teachers and let the kids get to know the classroom. Olivia didn't want to go home that day! So today she was very excited. She got a new backpack (which Andre says is bigger than her), and did her homework yesterday. Here are some of her answers to her homework questions:



What is your favorite animal?- Frogs

What is your favorite game? - Animals Fighting (what the heck is that?)

What is your favorite food? - Chicken Nuggets

What are the names of the people in your family?- Olivia, Mama, and Dada. But some people call them Andre and Mary.

What are you going to do at school? - Play with Gak (silly puddy), play tag, and run around in circles.



Olivia with Dada before school!
Look at how excited Olivia is!
Olivia is telling us she is three years old and going to school today.
In the parking lot.
Why would Andre think her backpack was too big?

She was so excited she just took off ahead of us. (We're loading her pack with bricks next time...)

With teacher Mandi. Olivia picked her name out of a stack of name cards!





She didn't even say good-bye! She just took off into the classroom. We are experiencing "empty nest" syndrome...

We know that feeling well. Olivia looks so excited, can't wait to talk with her about all of it. Go Olivia, learn all you can and teach your little brother everything you learn then he won't have to leave home for school cause he'll already know it all:)

Aw! David has the same sized backpack, only in Transformers :). We had our first day too, and there's certainly something bittersweet about it. I'm glad she likes school so much! Good stuff!
