First Day of 2K

So Natalie started 2K this past week. She is usually the youngest in her class..the class spans from 18 months to 4 years. She is a little apprehensive about being away from us, but she is easily distracted when she gets upset about it. Her teacher, Miss Devvy, (who is also our minister's wife) says that Natalie loves playing in the mirror and giggling at herself. NOT A SURPRISE!!! We are hoping that Natalie will learn a little discipline from her class. We are only sending her 2 days a week for now but may up that in the Spring if I go back to work. Each week they work on learning a color, letter, number, shape and concept. So for example, this week was "Yellow, A, 1, circle, and big vs little". Paul and I have been working on these at home with her as well. She now says "lellow" and "aaaaeee". But 1 is also "two".

Her vocabulary grows so much each day. It is really fun to hear all the new words that come out of her. Lately it seems like she has gotten really good at all the Sesame Street characters, her favorite being Elmo (or Melmo) of course! Guess something don't change!

Enjoy the pictures!

Excited for first Day..

Not so sure about going alone though...

Showing off the new backpack (has a monkey on it)

Changed my mind...

I'm going back to sleep!

p.s. No, she didn't take her blanket and Mindy (aka "min-me") to school with her. She just LOVES to carry them around the house lately.
