1st Day of Preschool!

First off, we have been MIA for over 3 weeks now, and I have to say it was great! I was tired of the AZ heat and needed to get home to CA where I had help with the girls. I packed up the truck and drove by myself to CA, all 12 hours (without stopping, which translated into 2 FULL days) with the girls. Because the trip out there was so long and miserable I had to make it worth it by staying for so long!
We are now back in the heat and excited that Dada is done with his season. We returned Tuesday and Rilyn started her first day of preschool on Wednesday. She is such a big girl, it is crazy! She was so excited the morning of her first day, but definitely was taking everything in when we first arrived. It took her only about 5 minutes before turning to me and saying "Okay, bye." I got the not so subtle hint and made my way out knowing she was in good hands. She had a great day, enjoyed every minute of it and is so excited to go back again tomorrow. The teacher told me that Rilyn is little Miss Congeniality, making friends with every child in the class, this definitely does not surprise me. I was so proud of her and know that this will be great for her.

On our way to school!

At her table, with her two friends Brady and Cierra. The teacher asked the kids to take their crayons out of the back of their chairs and Rilyn was concerned that the little girl next to her didn't know what to do.
She proceeded to take the initiative and help show her where her crayons were.

It was too cute watching Rilyn help this little girl, I was so proud!!

By the way, I want to wish Christina a Happy Belated Birtday, I am so sorry I missed it! :(
