First Day

Autumn's first day at her new daycare was yesterday and she loved it! She was a very dirty and tired little girl when we picked her up. When we left, she was squirming around in Kenny's arms trying to get down, so he put her down as we were walking to the truck. She turned right around and started heading for the doors to go back inside. She's in the Toddler 2 classroom so most of the kids are 2 years old already, but she seems to do just fine with them and both yesterday and this morning a couple of the kids came right up to her and offered to share a toy.

This week's theme is "New Friends." They read stories and do activities that coordinate with the theme each day. They go over colors, shapes, numbers, etc. during circle time. Today she got to use water colors and they did a bean bag toss. The classroom also has their own outdoor play area with age appropriate toys so they are free to run around when the weather permits.

The daycare is run by the First Christian Church and all the teachers and staff we've met have been very nice. We feel lucky that they had an opening for her and they will also have an opening for the new baby in late July/early August because hopefully by that time, I will have a job and be ready to start working. I get more accomplished during my days now that she is at daycare, but I miss having her around. They have a colorful mural of Noah's ark that I want to take a picture of her in front of. When I get it done, I'll post it for you.


UPDATE: Here is Autumn's daycare picture. This is the best one we got because she kept running off to her classroom to play!
