1st Day of Preschool!

Even though the weather here is still in the 80's and 90's, fall is in full swing with the start of school.

Karina, who is now 4 years old, is starting up pre-school again.  She was very excited, which we are happy to see because last year, she was ambivalent about attending school.

 She was all ready with her backpack to head off to school!

Here is the obligatory picture in front of the sign to her pre-school.  She wanted to be standing, however, instead of sitting.  Also, we tried getting Gabey to be in the picture but he refuses to pose for pictures; we're not sure why.

Karina knows the drill--before going into class she needs to hang her backpack up on a hook.  Since she's a Yuen and the hooks are assigned alphabetically by last name, her hook is the last one!

Karina says "hi" to Mrs. Walker, her teacher.  Mrs. Walker was Eliana's teacher two years ago and already knows Karina.

Karina got right into the swing of things...and so did Gabriel.  He is used to tagging along when Karina was getting dropped off or picked up last year at pre-school.

Gabriel spotted Pixie, the class guinea pig.  Except that he thought Pixie was a squirrel and kept doing the sign language sign for squirrel.  Pixie didn't seem insulted.

We look forward to a good year of preschool for Karina.  It's amazing to think that perhaps next year, Gabriel will be going to preschool as well!
