Anna Goes to Preschool

Monday was Anna's first day of preschool.  She has been excited to start and I'm excited for her.  She picked out her outfit for her first day - a sweater dress and boots, even though it was 90 degrees outside.  The first day of school was also picture day.  Here are Anna and Matthew getting ready to head to school - Matthew is so much taller than her even though she is only 17 months younger.  They both go to school at the same time (drop off AND pick up at the same time) at different schools.  Luckily the schools are just a few blocks apart and I can drop off Matthew early and pick up Anna early.  So hopefully it works out.  We'll see.

Anna was so excited!  She has the same teachers Matthew had last year and meets in the same classroom.  Since she went with me to pick up Matthew 99% of the time last year she is very familiar with the class, the teachers and the whole process, so hopefully that helps.
She picked out a Tinkerbell backpack for school that is almost as big as she is.  Hopefully she grows into it this year.

We made it school on time after dropping off Matthew and Anna wasn't nervous at all.  She learned where to hang up her back pack and the whole coming to school routine, so I'm hopeful things go well.  Here she is signing in at the beginning of class.  Happy first day of preschool Anna!
