first day of preschool

Kapria loves going to Miss Laurie's Preschool. She adores Miss Laurie, who is also the primary chorister and just the most amazing, energetic, happy, and sweet person. Miss Laurie is always full of praise and excitement when she sees the kids, and I know she's the perfect preschool teacher for Kapria.

Kapria is the only girl in a class with four boys, and she's also the oldest. She's always gotten along really well with boys, so I know she'll do great. She already came home and told me how much she liked playing with Kody and Aaron. And she got to cut paper, which is one of her all time favorite things to do. I guess I need to let her cut paper more often at our house.

I'm excited for this next adventure for her, but I'm not ready for her to be in school yet. Good thing we have two more years until kindergarten. She could probably start next year (she's right on the edge of some state cut-offs with her September birthday), but Trav and I have thought about it a lot and researched and talked to many many family members and friends, and the conclusion we've come to is that we want her to start when she's six. That way she'll be the oldest in her class rather than the youngest. And most importantly, we want all the time we can get with our girls at home with me before we start school for the next 20 + years of our family's life.

So I'm enjoying these next two years as much as I can. I love love love being home with my girls.
