Pre School open house and Farm Field Trip

Today we went to Addie's open house. She actually starts next Wednesday. We saw the class room and where she will sit. I don't know what's with the goofy smile, but she was pretty excited.

This is her teacher, Mrs. Papen.

No trouble diving right in to the toys and finding some 'friends'.

Today was also the first field trip of the year. We went to a farm/apple orchard. She got to pick her own blackberries, look at the apple trees and plant a flower to bring home.

Her flower.

Overall it was a fun day. It turned out to be a little bit warmer than I thought it was going to be so Addie was melting in those rain boots and huge shirt! She wanted to go back to her classroom after the farm. I think she is going to LOVE going to preschool 3 times a week! I'm afraid the other 2 days she will be so disappointed that she has to be home with me.

The teachers assistant/helper tried talking to Addie. Apparently Addie did not want to talk to her. The Lady came up to me and ask if she talks much because she wasn't wanting to use very many words. I had to explain that the kid never stops talking at home. Sometimes I have to ask her to stop talking for just one minute so that my ears can get a break! In big crowds she tends to be pretty quiet. Probably takes after her mom. :) I really tried to reassure the assistant that Ad really does talk, A LOT. I got the feeling that she was sizing up all of the kids based on how they responded to her questions. My child has a very large vocabulary and has no problem speaking! (This is what I wanted to tell her.)
