Hannah's 1st Day of Preschool!

Hannah's First Day of Preschool she woke up a little groggy since she not used to getting up very early, but soon was ready to get dressed, she didn't mind me doing her hair and said she wanted toast with butter and milk for breakfast (she normally a cereal eater but I didn't argue:) Daddy stayed awake long enough to take her to school. DaNea a girl I babysit was here too for me to take to the 5 day class. Hannah has been wanting to go to Preschool since she went to take DaNea last year, we have even had a Princess School bag or almost a year by request from her insisting that she go to school as soon as she turned 3. "I've waited a long time to go"! she says. I was nervous for her and excited for her, surprisingly not extremely sad. When we got to the classroom she knew just what to do! She immediately took her bag to her cubby hole with her name and started playing.. I wasn't expecting a dramatic scene, or anything. She gave Chris and I both hug and kiss and said bye and went back to playing. When I picked her up she gave me a hug but just seemed like it was no big deal.. I was secretly sad she wasn't more excited to see me but that's OK I know love she loves me. Her teacher reported that she did very well, she participated, communicated with her teacher and class and cooperated when told what to do. She is yet to tell me what exactly they did for 3 hours, but maybe when she's not distracted with DaNea here, she will be more talkative ( I hope)! I think she is experiencing some new independence that I'm happy about and honestly sad about! My sweet baby girl is starting to act so big.

Hannah's First Vacation Bible School!

Singing and Praising!

God is powerful and the kids reply "FEAR NOT"

More Dancing and Singing

This girl was the only other girl there on the first night and her name is Hannah also, so they became great friends the two "Hannah's"

No stage fright this night, she was up there before any of the other kids ready to praise God!

Hannah attended the Vacation Bible School at the First Baptist Church this week. The theme of the week was Crocodile Rock. It was from 6-8:30p each night. They learned scripture, sang songs, made crafts, ate snacks, and played games. The first night Hannah was very timid, shy and not real sure what to think, she didn't want to leave my lap, but she reluctantly went with her preschool class........ each night. Each night she got a little better and as you can see from the pictures and videos she had a blast and by the last couple days she was running in the doors to her seat and telling us to go sit somewhere else! Mommy was a little emotional at first but Im so glad she had a good time and was able to take part in this fun week. My first baby is a big girl now!
