First day of "School"

We have had a little shift in the house this week, Sarah Katherine has started "school" (aka - daycare). The lady that was keeping her previously did a wonderful job and there are no issues there, just when we started it was part time and then we got into our current - very NOT part time schedule and the hours were just too much. All is well with the world though because the daycare that we wanted (that typically has a year long waiting list) had one spot just her age! God is GREAT!!!

I was worried about her first day and how she would take the "transition" (it seems silly to worry about that with an 8 month old, but I'm just that kooky!). Well, she didn't even look back to say bye. Her teacher set her in the floor to play with a little boy and she was in heaven. I got her sheet at the end of the day that summarizes everything, and she ate lots of "real" food, played a ton, and only slept for 40 minutes (this is a girl that will usually sleep like 3 HOURS during the day!). So, needless to say she was super excited to check out everyone and everything in her new class.

Another funny thing, when I dropped her off this morning I was asking about how she did yesterday and all and the teacher said "Man, the girl can eat!". Oh yes, our girl is LOVING some real food. She may have been in the 25% weight percentage at her previous doctor visits, but I think since finding the joy of grown up food she is going to be moving on up a bit. :) She's still gorgeous though!!!!

Here is a close up of her playing with her new buddies and a wider shot of her new classroom - looks super fun!!! (Hint - SK is the bald baby in the Bumbo.)
