Clare's first day of preschool!

She was both nervous...

...and excited.

She spent most of the day hanging back
and just observing her 11 classmates.

But she's been talking about using these easels for weeks now --
she loved them when Xander was in Red Class here two years ago.

Watching.

Watching some more (with a touch of skepticism).

Playing with Mikah!

Celebrating Mikah's 4th birthday at snack time.
