Caroline's First Day of Preschool

Caroline is going to The Primer School, a small preschool that's actually in a little house in a nearby neighborhood. There are three classes of 8 four-year-olds in the little house, and they attend 3 days a week. I was afraid that she would not want to go when the first day came because her previous school experience (the school she attended when I used to work at the courthouse) was not a positive one for her, but when I dropped her off at Primer, she hopped out and didn't look back. And I was excited for her to start on her new adventure!


Little sister managed to rouse herself out of bed to see big sister off, too.

Random bits and pieces

- I know I need to put birthday pictures up here . . . it's just that I was so busy during the party that I didn't take any. My mom put some up on Shutterfly, but my technically challenged self does not know how to save them to my computer in a way that will look any good. I think my neighbor has some, so I need to get a disc and get her to copy them for me. Hopefully soon!

- Julia figured out how to click her tongue Wednesday. It is so funny. She just crawls all around making that clicking noise the whole way.

- This one is for you, Amy TK and Gretch: Julia LOVES the Dell "Lollipop" commercial. We can be engrossed in blocks or whatever with our backs completely turned toward the TV, but upon the first couple notes of that commercial (you know ... "Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly lollipop"), she whips her little head around so fast to see those laptops! Last night we kept rewinding the DVR to see her do it again and again. Easily entertained, yes we are.

- Our MANY hours spent at Chick-fil-a are paying off in the manners department, at least. When I tell Caroline, "Thank you," she has started to respond, "My pleasure." It's hilarious to hear a four-year-old say that. And since no one really says that in real life, I know she learned it at Chick-fil-a. Just another entry on a long list of reasons why I love that place.

Randoms over for today -- hope to return to your regularly scheduled postings soon!
