Annie is a VERY enthusiastic preschooler! She was a bit apprehensive about her first day but was very quickly won over. Crafts? Friends? A play area with a play kitchen? What is there not to love!
A friend in the ward, Ginger Hunsaker, started an in-home preschool this year that we are sending her to. She lives within walking distance, and it is oh so convenient.
Annie is the oldest kid in her class because she just missed the kindergarten cutoff, but she doesn't seem to notice. Ginger says that she is the popular girl in the class because she's developmentally a bit more mature than the rest, so she assumes a ringleader role.
Annie comes home singing nursery rhymes and talking about all sorts of things that make me think "I should have taught her that!"
Annie is developing a hearty love of crafts
The field trip to the fire station was cut short when they had to respond to a call, but at least we got this cute picture by the fire truck!
Annie has started reading Bob books, but she is definitely much more interested in writing than she is in reading. She is constantly asking me how to spell things so that she can write it out. She will have friends over for playdates, and they will fill pages and pages with random letters. She is also getting much better at drawing but gets frustrated when her pictures don't match her creative vision. Overall this girl is thriving!
