school girl

This morning was a big deal in our home.  Lyla's eyes lit up when we told her that she was going to preschool today.  She has been eagerly antipating this day for months - ever since we first toured the school way back in May.  She was super excited.  She got dressed all by herself in her brand new outfit and then asked me to put her hair in two buns.  I kept reminding her what a big girl she is and how today is a really big deal.  She definitely understood the hype.  She was so well-behaved! 


She met one friend in her class last week at "meet your teacher" night.  His name is Leif.  As soon as we got to her classroom, she made her way over to Leif to say hello. 


Lyla's cubby


We are so excited for this year and this new chapter in Lyla's life.  We think that Lyla will really thrive in this social environment and we are thanking the Lord for providing this opportunity for her!  We checked out the school in May and prayed that God would open the doors to allow Lyla to attend preschool here.  He answered right away and let us know that this is indeed what He had in mind for Lyla.  Thank you, Jesus for your clear direction in our lives!

She is such a sweetie! Is it a public or private program? Shay is in a private preschool now, but we may try to transfer him to public preschool next year. Eager to hear others' experiences, though I know it will depend a lot on the district.

Love the PB kids lunch bag too!

She is at a private Christian preschool. I enrolled her in a public charter school very close to our house for kindergarten, but it is based on a lottery system. We will not know if she gets in until next Spring. I would love for her to continue at the private school but it is far from our house and expensive (probably not as bad as ny though!). Our long term goal is to homeschool our kids, but I will have to be able to quite working first!
