Gracey, the pre-schooler!

Today was a milestone for our little Gracey! She is now a pre-schooler! I know that its only pre-school, but it is so fun to watch her grow and do new things. We are incredibly fortunate to be able to have her be in the California Head-Start program. Usually there is a waiting list for higher enlisted and officers children, but luckily this year they added a few teachers so I believe that anyone who signed their child up was approved! She will go 5 days a week from 7:45-10:45am. As we were looking into the school I thought to myself "she is going to be in school for so long...why I am starting her so young?" Then I snapped out of it and realized that we really needed to take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts. It is government (california government I think??) funded organization so it is free! Her teachers seem great and we think she is really going to enjoy this. We don't expect her to be reading by the end of the school year or anything, but at the very least she will be playing with kids her own age for at least 15 hours a week! I won't pretend either that I won't absolutely enjoy having only Emily for 3 hours a day! I am excited to see what I can accomplish when I only have one little tyke to take care of for a few hours.

Here are some pictures of Gracey. She seems to be growing right before our eyes!
