Preschool (sort of)

Before Raquelle was born, I taught preschool. So today, I decided she is old enough to get started. We sang some songs, worked on our colors, learned about circles, read a couple books and then colored with crayons for the first time. Here are Raquelle's first color pictures ever! The first one she did all by herself. The 2nd one was the one where I was showing her how to use the crayons and holding onto her hand to help her. Of course, I did have to tell her no and take a couple crayons away when she tried to eat them, and I had to hold the paper down so she wouldn't tear or eat it too, but we had lots of fun this morning! She doesn't do the motions to any of the songs yet, but she claps for me! Maybe in another 6 months she will participate too!

In honor of her first day of preschool with mommy, I did Raquelle's hair in her first pigtails. They are a little uneven because she didn't want to hold still for me, but I'll fix them before we go out this evening. She holds still much better when Thad is home to distract her while I put her hair up.
