Emma started pre-school on Thursday.  It was a one hour orientation to meet her teacher and her little classmates.  She was a little hesitant at first, but by the time I came back to pick her up she was crying because she didn’t want to leave! 

The best part about Emma’s pre-school is her teacher Mrs. Howe, an EIGHTY year old lady that has been teaching pre-school at her house for over FIFTY years!!  It really is quite neat.  She lives in a cul-de-sac that has a turn around area in it, so I don’t even have to get Everett out of the car to drop her off or pick her up…she just hops out and then the cars all wait in line when it’s to come back and pick them up again!  She has an entirely different building from her house that the class is taught in and she even has playground school grade equipment for the kids to play on in her ginormous back yard.  Emma was thrilled when she found out there was a bunny and a turtle that needed to be fed. 

The woman is truly amazing and I commend her for the work that she does.  In fact, one of the little girls in Emma’s class found out that her dad was in Mrs. Howe’s pre-school over 30 years ago…same building, same class and apparently same toys!  It is very neat and I am thrilled that Emma is getting the opportunity to go to her.

I didn’t get too many good pictures as Emma was to excited to stand still long enough for me to take them!
