Rory started her 2nd year at Grace Episcopal Preschool in September. I was a little nervous about it because of the transition of having Payton and also we absolutely LOVED her teacher Ms. Kara last year. Rory spent several days a week this summer at Ms. Kara and probably thinks of her as a second mom. Ms. Kara's classroom is right next door to Ms. Linda's so I was having visions of Rory hanging out in the 4 year old class refusing to go into hers. Ms Linda is her teacher this year and Rory is really enjoying school and Ms. Linda. There were tears the first week at drop off, but now she is excited to go and asks to go to school. On the way to school today, she was telling me in the car about how she and Daddy saw a windmill on the way to Grandma's when they went in the Jeep. "When we were going Grandma's and we got off the high road onto the little road. We saw a windmill with a different top. Is wasn't windy so it wasn't spinning." Then she said she was going to tell her friends about that. When I picked up her this afternoon, she said "Oh I forgot to tell my friends about when I went to Grandma's."
When I asked her the other day how many boys and girls are in her class, she answered fairly quickly and said 5 boys and 3 girls. She knows the girls' names and a few of the boys names, but mostly calls the boys by what color shirt they have on. "The boy with the blue shirt..." They have "show and tell" every week and on Tuesdays, Ms. Linda lets them pick a toy out of her treasure chest (very generous of her!) Ms. Kara, our beloved teacher from last year, moved up to the 4 years old class, so maybe we'll get lucky and have her again next year!
