This week my girls officially started preschool.
Teya is attending 2nd Nature Academy 3 days a week from 8:30-11:30. She has two wonderful teachers who she adores and her classroom is in a beautiful new building they built over the summer.
Brinley is doing something a little more low key. One of my friends is trying out a preschool from her home that is just twice a week for an hour and a half. It's very small with only 4 kids but it's the perfect thing to keep her mind off of missing Teya while she's at school.
Teya was super nervous on her first day. Taber and I went to drop her off and she clung to Taber's leg and told him she wished he could stay with her.
After finding some toys and meeting some friends though she was all smiles. Later her teacher told me that Teya had gotten up in front of the class and taught everyone a new Days of the Week song. The teachers loved it. The next day when I picked her up her teacher said, "I wish they were all like this one, can we clone her?"
It's weird not knowing exactly what she's doing for a 3 hour block each day. When I asked her what she learned her first day she said, "We must always listen to our teachers and never hit people with sticks because sticks kill." Hmmm...Not too sure what that was all about. The next day she told me "we should keep our hands to ourselves and never say Jesus's name in grain" (I think she meant in vain) Don't know where that came from but I would've loved to see how that topic came up.
Having the girls in preschool has been pretty nice and also surprisingly busy with all the picking up and dropping off. I spend a lot more time in the car but it's great because it gets me out the door and moving and forces me to be more productive. Here's a cute pic of Brinley carpooling with her preschool buddies. I was driving this day and laughing my head off at the conversations that 3 two year olds can have.

Love the pictures, your girls are so cute! I love that Teya's teacher wanted to clone her, don't comments like that make you feel great?? I'm sure you will get the same kind of comments about Brinley, they are both cuties and seem like such fun kids!
Was it the "Days of the Week" song from the Discovery Center?
That's the best learning song I've heard...well, that and doing the macarena to the months.
I noticed the jeans and long-sleeves too...is it cool up there?
The girls are adorable.
They are so cute with their little bags on the first day! I bet it is so nice to get just a little bit of a break a couple times a week! It will really be nice when the new little guy comes!
So cute! I love the preschool picture! I wish I got to pick Anna up once in a while because by the time I see her she hardly remembers that she went to preschool.
I'm glad Teya's having fun at school!
I still remember the first day I met Teya: with all smiles she said, "I'm Teya Rigg!" She was barely two at the time, and I found it striking that such a small girl was so outgoing and friendly. I was delighted to meet a child with so much confidence! What a doll!
They both look so cute all ready for school! I love how Teya taught everyone a new song (I'm sure her teachers are just dying over her!), and her little "we must" lessons that she's bringing home are cracking me up.
i love the pic of brinley on the front porch and your forgotten child is looking out from the window behind her ha ha ha ha
