official first day

Last week's "first day of school" for Rebecca was an orientation and Daddy stayed with her.  Today was the first day that she got dropped off at school. 


She was so excited for her Hello Kitty backpack and outfit. 

I don't think I've talked about her current love of Hello Kitty.  It all started on her birthday when her cousins gave her a Hello Kitty book.  Then over the summer Allecia daughter's, Marin, had on a Hello Kitty shirt, and she loved it and kept talking about it.  Then Grandma got her her own Hello Kitty shirt (this one), and now every time she sees Hello Kitty, she goes berserk.  She even has Hello Kitty shoes on, though they're kind of hard to see in the picture.

Waiting outside with her friend, Luke. 

Luke's mom (my friend, Emily), will be taking Rebecca and picking her up from now on, since Tuesday is the day that I work, and also the day Rebecca goes to school.  I'm happy that she has a friend in her class.

She went in the room without any hesitation, sat down, and started doing a puzzle.  I told her goodbye and she barely said goodbye back, completely engrossed in her puzzle, and excited to be at school.  She was ready!

When I picked her up she told me they had popcorn for a snack, went to see the puppets, which was about Abraham, and went outside to check the weather.  I asked a few more questions but didn't find out much else about what they did for two hours, but she assured me that she had lots of fun.  They did make a tree craft, which she brought home, and it had family members names on it, so they must've talked about their families. 

I'm happy that she enjoyed it and hopefully she'll be just as thrilled to go next time!

I'm going to have to get reports from Rebecca because her language is better than Luke's. :) He did say popcorn for snack and puppet show, but I didn't get the Abraham part. And his tree doesn't have any names on it, so he must not have said them clearly enough (he did have a family photo in his bag!).
