Anna's Turn!

For school to start, preschool, that is. Tuesday was Anna's first day back to preschool. She is going to a different school this year and so far she LOVES it. Her teachers are super sweet, and she has been having a blast. Yesterday she actually cried because it wasn't a school day. As we were leaving this afternoon she kept saying over and over "I LOVE school." Very sweet. =)

Naturally I had to document her first day of school. Because she was so excited I decided fun, bright colors were the way to go!

All dressed and ready to go, backpack and all!




"Are ya coming Mommy?!"


Pretending to be SHY. HA!!!


(aren't these red doors gorgeous?!)
Waiting ...


Today on the way home from preschool Anna was full of chatter (nothing unusual about that!). She LOVES music class, and really enjoyed coloring and painting.

She started telling me about how she wants to be a teacher one day, and build schools.

Anna: And one day when I'm a teacher I can build schools, too.
Me: So you want to be a teacher when you grow up?
Anna: Uh-huh, and build schools, too.
Me: So you're going to be a teacher AND build schools?
Anna: Yep.
Anna: And Daddy can help.
Me: Build the schools?
Anna: Yep.
Me: And can Mommy help?
Anna: Nope, you're just a Mom. Only Teachers and Daddies.
Me: But Mommies can help build things, too.
Anna: NO. Only Teachers and Daddies.
Me: Well what can Mommies do then?
Anna: Um. (thinking) Well, you can drive the care, and put on seat belts.
Me: Is that IT?
Anna: Well, you can go in the house too.

Um. Gee. Thanks, Anna. Stinker! =)

And my efforts to let her know that Mommies can do lots of things were not well received!! Guess we've got some work to do on convincing her. =) And she didn't quite believe me that Mommies can also be Teachers.
