Preschool

This Thursday, Eliza not only celebrated her third birthday, but she also went to her first day of official preschool. Last year, she was in the toddler class, which required parents stay during the two hours. This year, she gets to stay by herself. She's so grown up!

I apologize for the plethora of photos in advance. She was just too precious not to photograph that morning (and always).

She was so excited to get back to the familiar classroom and see her friends. There was one big difference this school day, though: Grandma Cheryl is no longer her teacher. Eliza is now in Miss Dena's class, and she seemed to do okay without Grandma after the initial disappointment.

When I tried to coax her into making new friends, she insisted on playing with Mr. Potato Head. Very matter-of-factly, she looked at me and said: "I'm making friends again with Mr. Potato Head today. He's been real sad without me."

I guess she'll work on making new friends next week.
