First day of School!

Today was Lani's first day of K4 school at Frazer! She was very excited. We had parents night the night before and Robert took some pictures of her teacher and room to show Lani. Lani loved it! We even had to draw a picture of our child so they could have it the next day. I'm not such a good drawer, but I did my best for her. Her teacher is Mrs. Cobb and she is very sweet! I have been told for many years if I could ever have Mrs. Cobb, I needed to get her b/c she is the best and SO nice. So we were very excited to get her this year. Not only does she have a great teacher, but she has all kinds of friends and people she knows in her class. There are 3 other children in her class that we go to church with, John Hixon (our neighbor), Luke Pittman, and Landon Perdue. Then there is another boy that we had just been to his house about 2 weeks prior and his grandmother and Mattie are best friends. His name is Preston Macrory. She did meet a little girl the first day and they seemed to already hit it off. Her name is Peyton. So, I think she is going to have a great year with her classmates and teacher. (Mrs. Cobb hurt her back so for the first couple weeks, Mrs. Bridges will be her teacher)

She will only be going 3 days a week so I can keep her at home with me a little still. They have a pretty stict schedule to make sure they get through everything that the 5 day 4's are going through and learning. I think she will be just fine and hopefully ready for kindergarten next year. Her first project was to make her "comfort bear" that will be hung up in the room and then she can tell about it on the day she brings snack this month. She made hers last Friday and had a lot of fun. I told Robert that when I tell Lani she has to decorate her bear for school she would first thing say she needed to get down her arts and crafts box. Sure enough, that's what she did. She put eyes on him and drew his nose and mouth. Then I thought she could make a necklace for her bear. So she strung the beads on and we attached the necklace. Then she wanted to make something sturdy for her feet and then gave her a belly button (Lani has this thing with her own belly button - she can pull it all the way out!) Then of course we had to use the stamps so she decorated his shirt with her stamps. And finally we were suppose to put a picture of the family on his hand. Her "comfort bear" turned out very cute! She did a great job!
