My First Day of School

Sweet girl

It was my turn to start school today! I've actually been spending quite a bit of time there with Mommy, so it was different to have a bunch of other little kids in the room today. It was fun to feed them pretend food in the kitchen, climb together on the climber, and splash each other with water in the sensory table. It was also different getting used to the routine. I kept thinking it was time to go home every time we switched to a different part of class. The first time we cleaned up, I ran to the door. But we didn't leave! We went to sit in the circle and sing songs. We even sang "Two Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" and I already knew the actions! Then we had bananas for snack, which I enjoyed squishing and then sprinkling with water. After snack was over, it still wasn't time to go! We got to play more while the parents talked. And when we cleaned up again, it wasn't even time to go yet! We sat in a circle again to sing goodbye to our friends. By then I didn't really want to go, so Mommy and I were the last ones to leave.

In the morning, we get to go to Toddler Time at the library again. My favorite thing about the library last week was all the new babies! When I see them, I always say "cute!" I like to touch their little toes, rock them in their car seats, and mostly just stare at them. But the bigger kids, like me, sing songs and listen to stories and that's fun, too. Last week we got to play with scarves. I had fun playing peek-a-boo with them and throwing them. They were very soft. I wonder what we'll do tomorrow.
