First Day of School

Today was Riley's first day of Pre-K today at her brand new school!  She will be in the preschool program at Meiklejohn Elementary Tuesday thru Friday this year.  Roo absolutely loves getting to go to school and while she loved her time at Happy Valley she has been really excited and ready for this new adventure.  She has been asking me since the begining of July how many day were left until school started...I love how excited they are about school at this age! 
Last night was Back to School Night so she saw her classroom, met her teachers and then ate popsicles and played with her classmates on the playground.  Today she was ready to go!  She was up and dressed in the first day of school outfit she picked really early this morning and so I tried use her fave breakfast, cinnamon rolls, to break the news that school didn't start until 12:00. 
The first day was great!  Riley loved it and could not stop talking about how much fun she had with new friends!  The highlight of the day seemed to be playing princess and getting to play on the playground.  The low point was probably when Mom locked the carkeys in the car at pick-up and we had to wait an hour for AAA...however, it did mean a little more playground time for Riley.

Piper will miss having her sister around for the 2 1/2 hours that she is at school, but we are so happy that Miss R is loving her new school and her new friends!
