First Day of School!

Today was a big day for Miss Riley...she started preschool at Happy Valley! 

She helped to pick out the perfect first day of school outfit. 
Modeling the new backpack she picked out in her favorite color, purple
Last weekend we went to an open house to meet her teachers and see her classroom and Riley got to ride one of the minature ponies that lives at her school.  They have a barn with lots of animals and she will get to learn all about them and help take care of them too.  Her faves so far are the pig they call Charlotte and also the goats Billy and Otis.

Riley had a great first day! She was immediately comfortable in her new classroom and went right in to sit with the other kids, needless to say, she had not one problem with me leaving.   As a special treat, Gigi took Riley and I for ice cream after school.  Riley got her fave, chocolate on a cone.  When I asked her what her favorite part of her day was, she told me that she loved getting to pet and hold the bunny.  She also liked getting to sing about the 5 little monkey's sitting in a tree.  We are pretty excited about what this year will bring for her!
