Carina's First Day of School!

Pretty girl ready for her first day.

Monday began Carina's preschool career at the Journey School where Sammy has gone for the past year and a half.  She will go twice a week to give Grandma and Grammy a little extra relief and to give Carina some extra play time.  She is very familiar with the school itself after taking Sammy to class each week.

In my opinion, it is very special how the Journey School is set up in that the students and teachers stay with each other year to year as they progress through.  Of course some new students will be added but they do a great job at providing a stable environment for the kids and helping to develop friendships.  It is fun to think of these kids being together for the next four years until kindergarten.

I lingered in her class for about half an hour as she got comfortable and checked out her new scene and then I quietly left without making a fuss.  According to her teacher, she smiled all day (shocker!), was very active and ate well for lunch! When asked if she had fun she enthusiastically said yes!  More on all her talking in my next blog post..what a difference there is between these two girls of ours.
