First day of school

Well, looks like she's all grown up now, and off to school. We're just finishing up "transition week, in which we spend some time with her in class until she's comfortable with us leaving, so I was able to observe the children in their "natural habitat".

We started with a quick intro to the playground outside, with some double black diamond slides for her to play on. She started the day playing with the 'materials' on her own, but soon enough started working with the others. It's a class for the youngest kids, and she's the youngest of the bunch. She's played with groups before and has her regular friends, but it was still something to see her in a room with hyper boys bouncing off the walls. Against my best intentions, it brought out the protective instinct in me. She gives up almost a pound to the next smallest kid, and we haven't covered a proper defensive stance yet.

Regardless, she had a blast, and the kids and teachers all seem great. It should be an interesting year.
