Rylee's first day of pre-school

We had a wonderful trip to San Diego last week for a little family reunion, complete with a beach day, sailing, Sea World, and more...but it will take me some time to get all those pictures uploaded, so for now, here is the latest and greatest news...

Rylee started pre-school yesterday!

She couldn't be any happier about it - she has been talking about it all summer long, and it's finally here!

Here she is with her teachers - Miss Rachelle and Miss Shelly.

For the first day, the parents were invited to stay to help their kids ease in to the routine and reduce the separation anxiety...I stayed for about 20 minutes and then took off - Rylee's only anxiety was WAITING for preschool to start!
The first thing she wanted to do was paint...

Then she played with play-doh...and Cailyn joined in, too (:

This is where Cailyn and I left Rylee. Cailyn asked all afternoon "Where Rylee go?"

When we picked Rylee up I asked her how her day was and she exclaimed "It was GREAT!" Then she chattered and chattered on and on about blowing bubbles and spinning to blow the bubbles and playing duck duck goose and eating snacks, and probably several other things.

So the beginning of the McNamara family school days got off to a great start!
