Sophie Starts Pre-K!

Little Sophie on her first day of pre-k:
My little Sophie started her pre-kindergarten program this week! Wow! Of the three classes at her preschool (same place she went part-time last year), my little "Scrappy" is in the oldest class! I can't believe it! She has the same teacher Madeline had a few years back, and it feels really comfortable and familiar when I drop her off. And, even though she has only been to "school" about 5 times since June, this week has been an easy transition. *insert sigh of relief here* I have been picking her up after lunch this week, but when my school resumes classes next week, she'll be full time. Wow. Again.

Ready to start her year:
According to the state of California, Sophie can enter kindergarten next fall; however, I have given the matter a lot of thought, and I am definitely leaning towards keeping her out an additional year. Seventeen seems just too young to take your kid to college! Besides, I know these years are going to go by fast, so I figure by delaying her entrance into public school by a year, I'll actually gain a year with her at home :)

And, of course, three days back at school has produced a miserable cold for my girl. Oh well, better this week than next week, right?

She is the cutest girl! I love her shoes- that is my fav. style; in fact, I just bought some like that, but with a heels! I am also impressed with Maddie's style and outfit choice for her first day next week!
