First Day at MDO

Today was Amberly's first day at her Mother's Day Out program.  It's at one of our local churches and Eli goes there too!  Sadly, they're not in the same class; he's a little older than Ambs.  They do get to see each other during outdoor playtime :)  

Last night I packed Amberly's lunch in her new cute Pottery Barn Kids lunch box.  I didn't know she would need a lunch box for sure (mommy fail) until last Thursday, so no personalization.  :(  Also, you may notice she doesn't have a back pack.  It was back ordered 6 wks ago on PBK and should ship Thursday.  Woohoo.  I know she can't read, but it felt odd to not put a note in her lunchbox, so I did anyway. 

This morning she was less than thrilled about all of my picture taking.  This is the best I got.  Mimi made her nap mat and I couldn't be more happy with it. 

Such a big girl!

She wanted to carry both.  I kept thinking she was going to tip over bc of the extra lbs she was carrying lol

"Come on Dad, let's go inside!"

It was pretty crazy in there.  So many classes, moms, kids, strollers.  Happy kids, crying kids lol  Ambs was so good.  She was just so curious about all of the new toys!

Mommy and Me!

"Come on Dad!  I want to play!"

We said our goodbyes and she was good to go.  Danny and I hung around about 15 mins and looked in thru the 2 way window. 

Already found a baby doll.

Dang glare....but you can see her sitting by her teacher in the purple. 

There are 2 teachers.  Mrs. Kimberly and Mrs. Beverly.

Now playing with puzzles with Mrs Beverly.

Already wanting to sit with Mrs. Beverly.  Danny said she's going to be the teacher's pet. ha!  

She is so trusting.  We are DEF gonna have to have a stranger danger talk.

We went to the school early to spy again before picking her up.  12-1:30 is their nap time so we got there about 1:30 to see all 14 kids sleeping.  We were amazing that there they all were, asleep on their mats.  It was actually pretty amazing.  Apparently when the lights are off in the room, they can see out of it.  So, Ambs saw us peeking thru the glass.  Mrs. Kimberly came out and goes "Are Amberly's parents here?!  She keeps pointing to the window"  haha  Yes, we're here LOL  So she got dismissed early.  haha

She had a good report in her folder that told us she was "happy, ate everything, slept at nap time, and had a BM lol"  (they circle words on the sheet to describe their day)

We are so happy with her first day!  She did so good.  Danny and I both got a little chocked up after we first dropped her off.  Happy tears, she just looked like a BIG GIRL!  It is so crazy how fast they grow!  But I know she is excited to go again on Thursday.
