Starting off at Montessori

So, we did this in stages. This is L on her "first day" at school. Really, it was a 1-on-1 meeting with her teacher for an hour. I didn't find out until afterward that L thought of it as her "first day".

Her are pics of us on her "second day" but really her first with other kids. This day she had "New Student Orientation" with all the other newbies. This is the fancy dress I bought for her "first day" but wasn't planning on that for another week. Little did I know that a day at school with the teacher and other kids feels like "school" to a 3-year-old. Duh!

OK, this is her first "official" day of school at Montessori. She stayed for lunch that day because of her new super-cool lunch box Grandma got for her. We called it the first day with "big kids". To complicate matters further, she does not consider herself a "new kid" because she went there a few days two summers ago when Stephen was the daycare guy. She is getting the hang of things, though.
