First Day of Preschool, Take 2

 Things got serious for Elise on August 15th.  That was Sneak Peek for what she calls "The Big Preschool."  She was ticked in the Sneak Peek pic because we wouldn't let her play on the playground on the way in.  We're mean parents like that.
Her face was decidedly more cheerful when she started at the Big Preschool for real the following Monday.  She told us on her first day that she didn't make any friends.  She acted slightly concerned about it, but when we asked her why she didn't try to play with anyone (she usually makes friends everywhere she goes because there's not a shy bone in her body), she said that she played with the boy teacher (there are two girls and one boy teacher in her class).  She told us the next day she made friends with a boy in a red shirt and a girl in a purple shirt.  She's not the best at remembering names--just ask "Dave" (what she called Evan for a while), Hannah and "Tara" (she interchanges Hannah and Cara still to this day), or "My round friend" (the neighbor boy who has a round face).  

We're a few weeks in now, and she definitely likes the Big Preschool the best.  She still has fun at the Little Preschool, but she prefers the Big Preschool.  By the way, the best that we can tell, the reason she calls it the Big Preschool is because it is at the big elementary school :)
