Reese's First Day of School!!!

It was a wonderful day (for Mommy and child) when Reese started her first day of Mother's Day Out at a local church. She did so well carrying her backpack and lunch bag. She also did not even cry when we left her in her new room with her teachers. She went straight for a baby doll and music station. Bon Voyage Mommy and Daddy!!!

Reese loves going to school one day a week. She cried a few times but now never a tear! Every week when I pick her up, she and her lovey are covered in blue, yellow, green, etc. I finally asked what was always on her and one of her teachers remarked, "all of the other kids like to paint themselves but Reese likes to paint her clothes and lovey". Fortunately, it is washable!

We are very proud of all of the art projects Reese has completed this Summer. Most consist of her hand print turned into a fish or American flag. We think they are all masterpieces and proudly display in our kitchen for all to see our budding artist's work.

Reese also made a friend in class that she talks about ALL the time. Gabby, god love you. Reese sure loves you more than us these days!
