First Day of Preschool!

I can't believe the day has finally come.....our 4 year old firstborn baby girl is off to preschool! As a momma I must admit that there has been high anticipation for this day. Those of you that know Keslin know that she is the sweetest little girl, but is very shy and it takes her a while to warm up to you if she doesn't know you. We have done lots of "preschool prep" to get ready for this day such as attending a couple of open houses at preschool, play dates at preschool, role playing with mom and dad about what preschool was going to be like etc... . She has always been fond of the idea of preschool, but we didn't know how she was going to react when she actually had to go to school by herself without mom, dad, and sisters around.
Well, I am pleased to say that when we picked her up about an hour ago, she had a smile on her face and said that she loved her first day of preschool! What a big brave girl your are Keslin! Mom, Dad, and sissy's are so proud of you! The teacher (Mrs. Warneke said you didn't talk much the first day but that you did everything you were asked to do and participated in all of the preschool activities for the day:) You even gave Mrs. Warneke a hug on your way out the door which far exceeded my expectations for the first day. Way to go girl! You are going to love being a preschooler! We love you to pieces Keslin!

Keslin eating her usual breakfast, pankcakes with sprinkles!

All dressed and ready to go.

All geared up with her new backpack and items for show and tell.

Finally on campus, and not acting too excited to be there.

Still pretty nervous, she knows mom is about to leave.

Playing with the letter board with little sis before school starts.

Giving Mrs. Warneke a hug on her way out the door. Yay, she loved her first day!
