Riley goes to school

This post is terribly behind, but I did not want to leave it out.
Back in early September Riley had her first day of school. She was absolutely adorable loaded down with her backpack and so excited!

The preschool we choose was highly recommended by many neighbors as well as families from our sunday school class, and now I can see why. I just LOVE Riley's school. Her 2 teachers love on her, everyone is super friendly, and best of all she LOVES it too! Riley is only in school two mornings a week for 3 hours, it is the perfect amount of time and it has been so helpful in scheduling doctors visits for baby #2.

Riley brings me (really its mostly for her Daddy) home artwork or a craft each day. And according to her teachers she loves to do the puzzles and playdough but not the cars/trucks or blocks. :) After school I always question her about her morning, somedays she doesn't say much but she will usually tell me about their snack of the day and playing on the playground. Often when we are eating lunch (just after I pick her up) she will sing some fun new song or say a phrase that she picked up. For example at the end of last month she said "Say it. Sep - tep- ber." So cute. They must have been discussing the month.



Here are some of the fun artwork Riley has brought home.




This bear was from her first day of school. :)



Riley's school is a christian preschool inside a small church close to our home. Each week they send home a verse or Bible thought of the week. Some of the songs Riley has picked up are so sweet, she especially loves their snack time song God Our Father. Riley surprised me the other day when flipping through a random book she said "In the beginning God created the birds and the heavens and earth." My heart melted! :)

We are so thankful for a loving fun school where Riley can learn and grow.
