Sophie's First Day Back At School

Last year I made the decision to put Sophie at Preschool 3 days per week.  I  wasn't sure at the time if it was the right decision because I missed her terribly the 2 days she was already going and she was never excited about it.  I felt that the next year she would almost be 4 and that being around other children her age would be good for her and something she would want more of.   So far this has been a smart move.  First of all because I am now working and this takes care of some of the child care needs we have and because she really grew up over the summer.  She has been at school for a week now and is really enjoying it so much more this year.  We had seen a huge change in her desire to learn over the summer.  She has always had advanced fine motor skills and lately she has been bringing us papers from where she has been going around the house and copying letters that she sees.  She has the word LOVE on the wall of her room and wrote it one day and brought it to me.  She has also become fascinated with learning how to use the computer.   At school they have a computer lab and she gets to take computer class 2 days a week.  This is great for her, bad for me.  I already have to share my MAC with Madison and sometimes Camden.   I still miss her those 3 days but I'm so grateful she is in a wonderful Christian school with teachers and administrators who believe that all children are a gift from God.

 Madison is so sweet!  When we got up we found this note he had written to Sophie before he left for school.

New backpack and a Ladybug lunchbox.  What more could a girl need?
