I am very happy, proud and excited to announce that Lily is doing GREAT at her new preschool! There has been a complete change in Lily and the way she feels about school! School mornings are drastically different, she is excited to go and talks about it for the rest of the afternoon when she gets home! She never gives me a hard time about getting dressed for school and not one tear has fallen but instead she gives Emma hugs and says "It's OK Emma, I know you'll miss me but I have to go to big girl school." It's so sweet and I'm so thrilled that the transition has only been getting better!!
A typical school morning
top right: "Snow". They painted snow by using white paint and q-tips
top left: A winter collage
middle: dinosaur that she painted and is on a magnet (Lily wanted to hang it on the wall??) and a penguin that she colored with chalk
bottom right: A dinosaur stamp collage
bottom left: A Valentine drawing. In the middle she drew a heart, drew faces (And after asking multiple times, they always are the same: Nana, Pa, Emma, me and Mommy) She also wrote her name and has scribbled words, that she has told me are the names of her friends in her class. She definitely always has a purpose.
Sample notes home from her teacher
At pick-up I always get to chat with her teacher and/or the teacher assistant and they always have the nicest things to say about our Lily. The most common thing: She is so ready to help with everything, she is so good at cleaning up, we just love her! The most recent comments: Lily shared her snack today with her friends, Today Lily helped her friends wash their hands! I guess you can say she's the mama hen :) Who has only been there for a month!

Yay Lily!
So glad that things are going so well and Lily is loving school! I recognize a lot of those art projects. :-) We have the dinosaur and the penguin hanging up too -- Kira didn't want to put the dinosaur on the fridge!
