Annabelle's School

Annabelle attended her first day of preschool yesterday. She has been so excited to go and hasn't stopped talking about it for days. Sunday night, she was awake in her bed for over an hour talking to herself about what she was going to do at school. Monday morning, she kept asking if it was time to go to school yet. (She's in the afternoon class and it was agonizing for her to wait.) Here we are about to leave.She had a great time and asks if she can go to school again about every 1 1/2 hours.

The preschool is great. It's run by the university, through the Department of Home and Family. Students wishing to get their degree in Child Development or something similar get course credit by being teachers at the preschool. They are very attentive to the kids and incorporate learning methods for teaching letters, numbers, and so forth. The classroom is awesome and there is even an observation room for parents to sit in to watch and listen to their kids without the kids knowing they are there. I'm excited to sit in one day and watch how Annabelle responds to other kids and to see how well she listens to her teachers.

Here are a few other things Annabelle's been up to lately:
