Today was Mackenzie's first day of Pre-K at the Early Learning Program at STBC! She was SO excited, and honestly, so was I! She loves it so much, and it will be very good for her to get back into a "normal" routine, after the summer we have had. Her teachers this year are Ms. Anne & Ms. Janice, and they are wonderful already! All I kept thinking during the week before school started was how GLAD I was that Mackenzie went to ELP last year, so the first day of school wouldn't be so hard for me this year. I don't think I could handle any more traumatic events in my life right now. I actually felt a little bit guilty, because I wasn't really sad at all about the first day this time. We missed the Open House, because of the events of the past few weeks, but it was no big deal. G-Ma got to be there to take her to school that first day, and that was very special. Mackenzie wore a new outfit that Grandma & Grandpa Baldwin bought for her while we were on vacation. She picked out a Littlest Petshop backpack & lunchbox, and I made her a pb&j in the shape of a crayon & an apple for her first day. (I know, that is probably over the top, but I just wanted her to feel special and know that I was thinking of her!) There are 9 boys and 6 girls in her class this year. Bella, Josie, Brooklyn, and Emily are all friends from her class last year, that she is with again this year. (Mackenzie was a little sad that Ben wasn't in her class this year...she liked Ben!) It is hard for me to imagine that she could actually be going to Pre-K 5 days a week at Jenks this year...not ready for that just yet! What is even scarier is that next year she will be in Kindergarten, all day, 5 days a week. =0( We are still praying about what to do concerning that, or Homeschooling...just not sure yet! I wish God would just give us a clear answer on it. But, for now, I know she is right where she needs to be. We are looking forward to a great year of Pre-K!!!
I love that her backpack & lunchbox were purple & matched the outfit that we already had picked out for her first day. We didn't plan it that way, but it worked out perfectly.
G-Ma bought her the matching thermos for her lunchbox.
Madison grabbed her a backpack too & was ready to go to "cool!" (Just a few more days, and she would get to!)
I am so thankful we have such a wonderful church home & a place where our girls can go to Preschool in a christian environment. We are blessed!
Madison was in the big middle of everything when we dropped Mack off. Mackenzie wanted her to get in the picture with her teachers!
Mackenzie got to be the Calendar helper on the first day of school!
