First Day of Preschool

Today was the first day of preschool! It was an orientation day - 3 hours and the parents were able to stay the whole time. We go back on Friday for another "try-out" day and then Monday is half day 830-1230 and Tuesday starts 830-300. It was a blast! I have not edited any pictures - sorry for the red eye and such. Ally was so excited to start school today but did not want her picture taken!

I told her we needed a few pictures to show mama so then she started to cooperate!

Grandma Barbie went to preschool with us today!

Outside in the play area.

Playing baseball with the teacher! Yes Ally learned how to swing the bat and hit the ball 3 times today! It was great! She and one of her classmates played together for a while.

Future softball star?

Maybe a gymnast? Please note that Ally climbed around the equipment and got to the bar all by herself. It was amazing.

Singing at the "gathering area" with Grandma Barbie. When asked what she wanted to sing Ally said Pio. It is her mama's favorite song off the E. Mitchell Little Bird album the correct title is Los Pollitos (The Little Chicks). I can't remember the spanish lyrics, but I helped her with the English version and Ally sang it loud and clear:
All the little chicks sing pio pio pio
When they are hungry
When they are cold
Mama chicken looks for some corn and some wheat
That will given them dinner
That will give them heat
Under her wing the chicks she'll keep
Until the morning
the little chickies sleep
Becky would have cried. It was so sweet to hear her sing for her class.

HOORAY! I just knew Ally would love school. Was the school experience exciting enough to make Grandma Barbie want to come out of retirement?
