Kaitlyn started Preschool at Little Tykes (our day care) in September. I consider it more "pre-preschool" because there are two classes, hers being the younger ones who transitioned out of the infant room, but weren't quite old enough (or potty trained enough) to start "real" preschool. We have been pretty happy with it so far, and Kaitlyn has fun so that's all we really care about for now. She brings home multiple projects a week, and loves her teacher, Ms. Tina.
Speaking of day care, the girls have been in the same place since we started Kaitlyn at ten months old. "Gramma Linda" and "Papa" run it out of their home, and have been doing it forever. They both genuinely love our kids, and there have rarely been tears at drop-off time. Actually, they more frequently don't want to leave when we go to pick them up. Can't complain about that, right?
Kaitlyn definitely continues to be our more introverted daughter, and I think she gets overwhelmed sometimes if she doesn't get some down time to herself. So, as much as she loves school, she still cries for Gramma Linda or Mama when she's tired and needs a break. They have been telling us for the past month, though, that they are seeing Kaitlyn blossoming and coming out of her shell a lot more. Yay! I think she inherited her mama's personality...quiet and shy one minute, and bouncing off the walls the next. ;-)
Austen loves school, too. Linda says that she helps run the place. She marches in there and gets her day started as soon as we arrive, but she also is good about going with the flow they say. Sounds good to me.
First day picture. Maybe she'll smile for kindergarten. :) In her defense, it was 6:00 in the morning...
"Mom, WHY are you making me pose for a picture this early?! I'll stand here, but I'm not gonna pretend to like it!" This picture makes me smile :)
