First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Amaya's first day back at preschool. She was beyond excited to get out her backpack and pick out an outfit to wear. I had an early morning meeting at work, so Steve and Amaya had a special breakfast out at McDonald's before preschool. They picked me up and headed home for a few quick pictures and off to school we went!

"Come on! Let's go already!"

It's hard to believe how quickly she's growing up. Last year she was a little nervous walking into her classroom, but this year she didn't hesitate at all. Being raised by two introverts can't be very easy, so we're proud of how much her confidence has grown this last year and how she handles new situations.

Amaya had a great first day! It's always a little challenging getting her to talk about what she did and what she learned about, but she REMEMBERED one of the boy's names in her class - Jackson! This is huge! And she also said that Mrs. Leif did the pledge of allegiance "a little differently than Mrs. Parker." I asked her if she was looking forward to go back on Monday and in "Storage Wars" fashion, she said, "YUUUUUP!"
