First Day of Skewel!

 Annie Kate is clearly very bright, confident and full of personality! After only 10 weeks in this country she was admitted, to top rated Binghamton University!

Today was her first day of "skewel."

As we tried to prepare Annie for the start of her school career she was a bit confused.  Initially she thought "going to school" meant on her daily, early morning rides she was finally going to be able to get out of the car and march into  Vestal High School with Molly. Once we explained she accepted that she had her own school. Next was the idea that Mama would not be staying.  No" was followed by, "Ok, Annie said: " mama be white back."

Before leaving we took the traditional Myers family first day of school photo by the light post in the yard.

We arrived at BU preschool 8:50 AM. Annie Kate ran into the classroom practically trampling over classmates and parents in her path.  Her teacher greeted her with a warm smile and showed her the cubbie to keep her belongings in. As she took off her panda hat to reveal her panda hair tie and her panda dress while putting away her panda backpack and stuffed panda bear, her teacher commented : "Oh my, it all matches!" She obviously has no idea who she is dealing with.

Was Annie comfortable in her new class? ... Mama was back home by 9:07AM...alone and wondering what I was supposed to do until pick up at 1:00PM.

Baba wasn't much better. At 12:15 the car was running in the driveway ready to head out to scoop her up.

 Upon entering the classroom (early) at dismissal time our first clue that she was not only ready for school but eager was when we told her it was time to go she said" "no" and ran to the play kitchen area.

Finally she bounced out the door proclaiming she would be back "a mar row" which is really Thursday!
