Hannah is headed off to pre-school this year. She is going to St. John's Christian Preschool two mornings a week. It is at a Lutheran Church right down the road from our house. Jon and I are feeling very confident in our decision to send Hannah there -- especially after meeting the teachers during the parent orientation last week. Her daily class routine will include an hour of free play every day, plus circle times where they'll read stories and have learning time. Plus, they will play outside or in the gym every day...in addition to having a "healthy snack." The curriculum isn't overly "Christian," but they weave Christian teaching into everything they do (e.g., God made animals, baby Moses was in a basket - how do we care for babies, God made us unique (so let's learn our classmates' names)). It's more than Sunday school, but not too structured to be too much for a 3-year old.
On Friday, the school held an open house where Hannah got to go and check out her classroom and meet her teachers. I took her over and Lisa (our babysitter) met us there. This year Lisa will be doing the pick-up while I do the drop-off, so I wanted to make sure that she knew her way around the place too. Hannah enjoyed meeting her teachers for the 30 minutes we were there on Friday and has been practicing saying their names -- Mrs. Long and Mrs. McCray.
Today since Hannah's orientation is from 10:30-11:30, Lisa is taking her and dropping her off. I didn't label this picture the first day of school because I'm not counting it. Only 7 of the 14 kids in her class will be there for her hour, and I couldn't take her, so I'll do the "first day of school" on her first full day!
But, doesn't she look cute in her little capris (and size 10.5 shoes!)...

She is just so precious. Can't believe that she is big enough to do this already. Size 10.5 shoes!!!! Just how tall do they think she is going to be?? I love her outfit!! Now, are you going to cry when she goes or have you already done that?
