Even though she’s not yet three, it is back to school time for Kelly, too! This is our third year at our preschool co-op and the first year that Kelly really understood that she was going to see her friends and have a new teacher.
This year is also the first year we switch to two days a week and I drop off Kelly for one of those days. I wasn’t sure how she would handle it, but she was a total rock star!
She’s also super excited to have her first back pack, or as she likes to call it, her “pack pack”. I like that she is now schlepping her own diapers, art projects, and snacks for school!
Here’s the new “pack pack” and a very excited toddler:
This our blurry, awkward looking first day of school picture. Sigh. Oh well! We have tons of great pictures of Kelly, so not a big deal that this one is sucky.
One of our friends nicely sent me this picture mid-class, so I would know Kelly was doing great. She’s playing with airplanes, so OF COURSE she’s doing great!
And back to school also means the return of football! Kelly spotted this balloon at the store and begged for it, and like all terrible, indulgent, first time parents, we bought it for her. She carried it through the whole store, periodically shouting “Go Seahawks!”, even though it was actually a UW Husky football game day. Everyone in the store thought it was pretty great!
