Okay, so school hasn't officially started, but today Alli went to Vacation Bible School at her school. She was very excited to go, but turned shy when we arrived. She loves her teacher, and she has a good friend in the class already. She played with the other kids, learned new songs, played games, had a snack, and did a painting project. They only had 15 minutes or so to paint a little wooden car, not nearly enough time for Alli. Most of the kids' cars were thickly immersed in many colors of paint within two minutes. Not Alli. She meticulously painted thin layers of paint and mixed her colors as she painted the car. She didn't have time to finish her car. She got about half of it painted. She was extremely neat and clean and careful. Her plate of paint looked untouched, the blobs of paint weren't messed up at all. The teacher's assistant had to take Alli's project to get her to stop.
Part of me was very pleased. We paint together regularly, and she takes very good care of her art supplies (and mine). But then I worried that she will take too long to get her school projects done, or she will not want to do anything but art, or she will ignore everyone when she is working... (sigh)...relax Karyn, she is just in preschool. It's okay.
I can't believe she is a preschooler!

Alli, you look so cute in your new school uniform!
At least she enjoys art. Bruce doesn't get into it much when he's at nursery and playgroup. He'd rather play with trucks. Oh no! What if he's into science more than art?!
