First Day of School

Sophia started school today. She was so excited to go and play with the Potato Heads. When we went to the open house last week she was obsessed with them.

This year she's going in the afternoons (12:15 - 3:00). There are three other kids in her class and hopefully it means she'll get extra special attention. Her friend, Addie, is one of the kids. There is also a boy named Christopher and another girl named Adrianna. We met Adrianna at the open house and, guess what, I think she's taller than Sophia! I can't wait to see them side by side.

Mrs. Harden is Sophia's teacher this year. She was very welcoming this afternoon when I dropped Sophia off. Sophia made her a book this morning before we left. Mrs. Harden really liked it.

I got Sophia a new backpack with her name painted on it and she was very excited to put it on and get in the car and go to school. In fact, she was ready this morning and thought it was a bit odd that she wouldn't be eating lunch at school.

We arrived a bit early because I wasn't sure how much traffic we would hit in the middle of the day. We didn't hit any and it only took us 8 minutes to get there. A blessing for sure!

There is a small bench (toddler size) at the entrance to the school. Sophia sat down and I placed Lilly beside her. Don't they look adorable? There are a few more pictures to look at here.
Sophia came home with an apple picture that she colored and an Shrinky Dink apple necklace.
