First Day of Preschool


Our big girl started school today! I got home in time to fix her hair and give her a hug and kiss before Shannon and Noah took her to Millersburg. She had a great morning and told me all about the purple dress with flowers she put on, the apples and cheese she had for snack, and something about a worm or snake that was like the snake that Noah picked up. I also overheard her singing "If You're Happy and You Know It". She played hard at preschool and ran around with Shannon in the afternoon, and was sound asleep on the couch by 8pm!

The preschool is housed in the basement of a church. Each week, the environment is put up and taken down by preschool parents so the church can use it's basement on the weekends.
Miss Sherri helps Madeleine sign in for the day. Madeleine's nametag is pinned to her back. Each child picks their own unique animal for a nametag at the start of the year, and Madeleine chose a dog. The child's name and age in years and months is printed on the front, and all the emergency information (phone numbers, doctor, hopsital of choice) is on the back, along with the names of those people who are authorized to pick the child up from school.

I've got a video taken on my phone of Madeleine telling me about her first day that I will try to get posted soon.
