PRE-SCHOOL

It's been a crazy busy summer! And now, here we are with our "baby" starting pre-school. How did that happen? Georgea turned three in May & we attended her pre-school open house last Thursday. Georgea checked out the room, met her teachers and had a great experience developing a familiarity with the new surroundings.

Georgea's cubby!

Seeing her name on the window with her new "friends'" made it seem real!

Getting into some of the fun "stuff" with Daddy.

Having a tea party with her new friend Clifford (a gift from Aunt Becky!).


We brought home a little project from Georgea's open house. We had to create an "All About Georgea" theme with a poster provided by her teacher. We had a lot of fun filling in the blanks and finding pictures to complete the poster. Georgea got in on the action by doing a little "writing." :-)



Monday was the big day! My sister, Becky was in town from Maryland, so she & Daddy did drop off. We felt it was best for me to stay behind in an effort to minimize the emotion & potential clingy-ness.
The school has parents drop off at the playground which is a great way to help ease the separation anxiety that comes naturally during the first few days of "the unknown."


Heading out at the completion of day one!

Running to Mama!

Great first day- success!

With Georgea's teacher, Mrs. Perry.

I was doing some general searching about polydactyly and came across your blog! It really touched my heart-I cried even seeing all that you sacrificed and went to, in order to become parents. The traveling, surgeries, medical ordeals and all you have faced with grace and courage. Georgea is so blessed as are you!

James and Amy,
I LOVED seeing Georgea's first day of preschool - WOW! Such a big girl now. Seeing pictures of you guys always makes me miss you even more!

Olivia started 2nd Grade and Peyton started Kindergarten. Peyton is right across the hall from Mommy and I'm cherishing these moments. So far things are great!

Love from the Andrys,
Cathy
