California is changing its laws for school. The law used to be that you could start Kindergarten if you turned 5 by December 2nd. But this year that changed to November 2nd. Next year will be October 2nd, and the following year September 2nd. This surprised those of us with children born in November 2007. The state decided to start a special program for the kids that would have started Kinder this year but can't anymore. It is called Transitional Kindergarten and it is the same time as regular Kindergarten at a local school. Not the local school Paige will start in next year if we stay in this house, but not too far away.
So, 2 weeks ago, Paige switched from spending 3 days at her Nana's and 2 days at a preschool/daycare to 5 days a week at school with before & after school care. So far, she loves it but she continues to tell me that she is not going to school tomorrow, she wants to go to Nana's. We are excited about all the things she will learn an look forward to her getting more prepared for Kindergarten which has changed a lot since I was there!
She went to school the day before for a "Meet & Greet" with her teacher to see her classroom.
The actual first day of school. She wore her hello kitty dress and had her Minnie Mouse backpack.
The teacher had these cute little care packages she sent home with the parents.
We decided to start a new "Traditional" back to school pic. We will do one like this every year with the same questions so see how her likes change over the years.

I love the idea of capturing a photo and the answer to some questions each school year! Those will be so much fun to look back on as the years pass! She is ADORABLE. Her hair is getting so long too! What a cutie!
