First Day Again...

last week school started up again. bean wasn't too sure she wanted to go. then she got a letter in the mail from her teacher. it said that the classroom was going to be decorated like a zoo and they were going to learn about zoo animals and shapes and the seasons this month. it included a ticket that she needed to bring with her on meet the teacher day- you have to have a ticket to get into the zoo, you see. ;) suddenly bean could NOT wait to get to school!!

meet the teacher day came and went without an issue. bean loved her teacher. she loved her classroom. she loved all the toys and books. she was more than ready to go back the next day.

here she is all ready to go... :)

sprout trying to get some attention. he's such a little turkey!

getting a little upset with mommy for taking SO many pictures. can't we just go to school already?!?!

walking up to the building. she's such a big girl now! :)

hanging up her backpack. all ready to start the day.

as per usual she said good bye gave me a kiss and sat down to play with her new friends. sprout and i go on our merry way... i wasn't sure what to do, it had been a while since it was just the two of us hanging out! (don't worry we did just fine.) ;)

bean had a great day and was in a great mood when i came to pick her up. we went to mc donald's for lunch and talked all about school and the kids in her class while she ate chicken nuggets, a few fries and most of her brother's apples. she is very excited that she gets to go on field trips this year- the first one is a visit to the pumpkin patch! she had pretzels and cranberries for snack, but she only ate the cranberries because she doesn't care for pretzels. she saw some of her friends from last year outside on the playground- hooray!

all in all it was a great day. i mean, she LOVES school. it makes her happy. and that makes me VERY happy. :)
