First Day of School 2013

The last year of preschool has officially begun! Funny how Elise looks so big and mature on her first day. I would swear she looked like a 1st grader!
Luckily daddy was off so he could help take her to school. Like last year, the school bus comes to pick up the kids in the parking lot across the street. It's a fabulous set up as it allows me to keep the babies in the car during drop off and pick ups and it let's Elise feel like a big kid riding the bus alone. A win-win!
Elise wore a new outfit plus new pretty pink shoes (which did end up giving her blisters and she hasn't worn them since!). Nevermind the ever present pink headband!

We were happy to see Ms Elaine... Elise's assistant teacher.
The biggest surprise of all-- bus 23 was back! Elise was speculating that this year she'd be riding bus 24 as another school year had passed. Smart thinking but no luck.

School has been amazing thus far. We were worried how she would handle the afternoon program as Elise usually spends some quiet/naptime alone in her room. But our big kid is arising to the occasion. Everyone is also super excited with Elise's speech progress. Looks like we might be ditching an IEP before we head off to kindergarten!!!
