Brayden's 1st Day of Preschool!

Last Tuesday was Brayden's 1st day of preschool! I never had any doubts that he would do great since he had been attending school at the Play Boutique one day a week for the last year. I knew there would probably be a short transition period since he he'd be meeting all new kids, but other than that, I figured it would be smooth sailing! And, luckily, I was right! He went right in on Tuesday without any problems. I think he was mostly excited about bringing his new Spiderman lunchbox to school.

I think Brayden looks so grown up (& tall) in this picture...I can't believe that he's only in the 3 year old class!
When the kids arrive at school, they find their name on a card and place it in the basket. Then they get to draw the first letter of their name in the yellow sand. Brayden can make the perfect B with a pen and pencil, but something about the sand confused him because it definitely did not come out looking like a "B"! However, on Thursday his B looked much better!

Right after signing in, they are encouraged to do one math game, or write in their journal.

I can't believe how big Sienna looks in this picture. I think she's probably the same size as most of the 3 year olds in Brayden's class!

While Brayden was in school on Tuesday, Sienna and I headed to Gymboree for her first gym class! I'm not sure who was more excited to be at gym class...ok, it was probably me! When Brayden started Gymboree at 14 months old, I was almost 4 months pregnant with Sienna. So, not only was this Sienna's first chance to have fun doing whatever she wanted to do, but it was almost my first time with only one child! We ended up going twice last week and she did great both times! She's just like how Brayden used to be at Gymboree...shy! And, just like Brayden, she didn't want to participate in the group activities. The best part is that she's old enough to do almost everything by herself.

Sienna had a blast climbing...

Jumping...

Crawling through tunnels...

Swinging...

Balancing...

And jumping! Her favorite thing was to jump into the big green doughnut.

Sienna loves all tunnels. Every time we drive through one she starts yelling "It's a tunnel"!!!
