Kate and Miss Daisy Go to School

Kate and Miss Daisy began their formal education on Tuesday!

We started Kate in a one-year old pre-school program at

First Baptist Church in Alexandria...

and the school graciously enrolled Miss Daisy as well!

(Whew!)

Kate was a little sad when I dropped her off

but she got comfortable pretty quickly

and ended up having a great time!

Kate's teacher reported that she enjoyed playing with the other kids

and exploring new toys.

She even took a nap on her little mat.

I was shocked!

We are exceedingly proud of our little girl!

Rachel packed the first of hundreds (maybe thousands?) of George family school lunches.
(Anybody have suggestions for toddler finger foods to send in Kate's lunchbox?)

First Annual "First Day of School" Ice Cream Trip!

Unfortunately, the Dairy Godmother (our favorite local spot) was closed...

so Baskin-Robbins it had to be!

As you can see, Kate didn't mind one bit.

This one is for my Mom - who wanted to see the back of Kate's new haircut.

I call it a "bob in progress"
because the back is cute but the front still needs to fill out a bit!

First school paper on the fridge!

(And, yes, I realize that I really need to de-clutter my fridge!)
