Our PRESCHOOLER!

Today was Turner's first day of Preschool. She has told anybody who will listen that she is a "Preschooler" now (she's going to the same school as last year, but last year was "Children's Morning Out," and she remembers the "big kids" on the playground being preschoolers). She is certainly proud of herself!

The day started out fun, when Turner asked Thomas why he wasn't leaving for work yet. He told her that he stayed home to take her to her first day of preschool! She was thrilled to be escorted by Mommy, Daddy and Parker. On the way to school, Turner told me, "Mom, even when I am really big and grown up, don't worry...I'll still be your baby." Made me smile!

Needless to say, Turner loved her day. The first thing she was excited about was the delicious snack they had (of course!). Also, she knows all the little girls in her class through church, school and gymnastics, so she was able to pick right up with them.

At the end of the day, one of the teachers told me that she had learned something important about Turner: "She can do it HER-SELF." :) (I explained that the independence gene was rather strong!).

We love you, sweet preschooler! We're so proud of our grown up girl!
