first day funnies

so we missed natalie's first day of school. it was over a month ago!

everyone was blogging their kiddos' first days and we were missing ours. but time with family is priceless and it's *only* preschool!

i asked her what things she thought she would get to do at school.
she said, "puzzles. and watch a movie.
on the tv's that are on the walls. yeah, wall tv's."   ????
she insisted on a picture of her riding her bike!

i told her to go potty before we left and she said, 
"why? they have bathrooms there."
her adorable classroom!

me: "did you have a good first day?"
nat: "sure did. i suuuuure did!"

her first craft was a painting of pumpkins on a fence. the pumpkins were perfect circles.

me: "how did you make the pumpkins?"

nat: "like they told me to."

she said her favorite part of the day was playing with babies...

...and the playground!

"mom! it's the hugest playground in the whole wide world!"

overall, it was a great first day. it was a bit anti-climactic since it was no one else's first day and everyone just came and went and already knew what to do. at the same time, it was great because there weren't two parents for every child and no tears since all the kiddos already knew the routine. nat shed no tears and just wanted to make sure she got a hug and a kiss. perfect!
here's last year's first day:

just too cute! and she's changed so much! so sad!
