Back to School

Riley went back to school this week and is loving it!  She is back at the church MDO program that she attended last year, and we are so excited for the year to come.  Her teacher seems wonderful, and the “curriculum” is fantastic.  She’ll have Spanish, computer, art and music each once a week.  We went to meet her new teachers on Tuesday, and then she had her first day on Wednesday.

I didn’t get a lot of pictures either day…she was way too excited to slow down and pause for pics!

She was quick to check out her new room and within minutes was asking her new teacher where the babies were!   

When she found this phone, she promptly picked it up and had a conversation that went something like this: “Hello, Aunt Paige!  Yeah, I’m at school in my new room with friends and Mrs. Karen and there’s no babies yet.  Okay, bye!”.

Needless to say, when we woke up Wednesday morning, she was ready to go!  In fact, she was actually dragging me out the door, when usually it’s quite the opposite in this house.  I did my best to get some pictures when we arrived at school but she wasn’t very cooperative.  She was ready.to.go.

We made a pit stop into her old classroom to give Mrs. Krystal a hug and then we were on our way.

Upon arrival at her new classroom, we put her backpack into her cubby and quickly proceeded to wash our hands.  She then sat at the table to do some play dough, turned to me and said, “Mommy, I’m not going to cry”.  So I guess that was my cue to leave.  I hung around in the hallway peeking in on her for a bit, but it really wasn’t necessary because she was fine.  It’s going to be a great year back at UUMC!
