Kate's first day of preschool at Greenwood!


Kate started the 4 yr old preschool at Greenwood Elementary in September. We were so excited she got into this great program! Here are the other children from her Children's Garden class who also attend Greenwood in the afternoon. They were so excited to start that first day!!

We walked over to Greenwood from the Children's Garden and the first thing we had to do was find her locker. She was a little nervous because she had a hard time opening and closing it on her own. But with a few trials together, we finally got her comfortable with it. Don't you remember having those bad dreams of forgetting your locker combination in highschool!! Well, this is the preschool version of that! But we got through it.


She got the door open and hung up her backpack. Thanks Oma and Opa for the cutest preschool backpack in the whole world!! She gets lots of compliments on it and it fits her little frame just perfect!!

Right before her class started, the BIG Kindergarteners came walking by. As you can see, Kate is standing up as straight and tall as she possibly can to let those big kids know she's brave and really cool!

And we finally go in.... Here Ms. Mindy is greeting all of her class. Kate did AWESOME!! No tears, all smiles. That was the same story for me until I left the building and got into the privacy of my own car!! Then the tears flowed. Brett told me it's just a warm up for next year! 365 days to toughen up I guess!
